/ Specialist sourcing
Define NIC models, PMD drivers, NUMA/hugepages, RSS queue placement and target throughput or latency. A generic network programmer may lack packet-processing experience.
Evaluate a real line-rate packet-loss incident, p99 latency improvement or lockless queue bug, with verified profiling results.
Role-specific sourcing, not a promise of current candidate availability.
/ Engineering teams
Onectus uses its active engineering network and regional recruiting partners to search against concrete systems, environments and responsibilities. We evaluate practical experience rather than treating a framework mention or certification as proof of delivery. Particular availability and engagement terms are confirmed after an enquiry. For this role, practical knowledge of userspace PMD drivers, hugepages NUMA, packet processing pipelines helps define the engineering search.
/ Technical specializations
The right profile depends on your actual architecture, performance constraints, integration boundaries and operational responsibilities.
DPDK responsibilities include userspace pmd drivers, related hugepages numa, clear test coverage and a reliable production handover. Examine the actual tooling and deployment environment.

/ Project scenarios
Reduce packet loss at line rate. Define constraints around userspace pmd drivers, map dependencies and test how the proposed implementation behaves under real operating conditions.
Tune NUMA placement for low latency. Define constraints around hugepages numa, map dependencies and test how the proposed implementation behaves under real operating conditions.
Integrate a new high-speed NIC. Define constraints around packet processing pipelines, map dependencies and test how the proposed implementation behaves under real operating conditions.
Debug CPU-bound forwarding pipelines. Define constraints around rss queue distribution, map dependencies and test how the proposed implementation behaves under real operating conditions.
/ Practical evaluation
A senior engineering interview should surface directly relevant implementation details, debugging history and operational judgment.
Describe a production issue involving userspace PMD drivers and what evidence led to a fix.
Which decisions around hugepages NUMA and packet processing pipelines were you personally accountable for?

/ Sourcing process
Define platform versions, deployment constraints, traffic patterns, required integrations and ownership.
Search the active network and partner channels for platform-specific engineering experience.
Discuss real systems, code or configuration decisions, troubleshooting and change control.
Confirm role boundaries, location or remote access, availability, security and interviews.
Profiles, availability and engagement terms are confirmed for each request.
/ Questions
Yes. Tell us the relevant versions, operational environment and the responsibilities connected to userspace PMD drivers. We qualify hands-on experience during each search.
These can be included when central to the project. We distinguish practical implementation work from general familiarity and ask about failure scenarios and testing.
We look at production decisions, trade-offs, incident diagnosis, code or infrastructure ownership and the ability to explain decisions without relying on a technology checklist.
Share your architecture, technical constraints, collaboration model and priorities. We can then discuss relevant sourcing channels, evaluation criteria and next steps.
/ Onectus · TEAMS
Tell us the technology, production responsibilities, experience level and working model. We'll activate the appropriate engineering sourcing channels.
