You will work for the Network Security research group led by Professor Adrian Perrig, focusing on research for a secure inter-domain routing architecture called SCION. The starting date is as soon as possible, with an initial contract of 12 months and the possibility of extension.
The inter-domain routing architecture is designed to provide route control, failure isolation, and explicit trust information for end-to-end communications. The architecture groups Autonomous Systems (ASes) into independent routing control sub-planes, called isolation domains, which interconnect to form complete routes. This design provides strong resilience and security properties as an intrinsic consequence of good design principles.
Tasks
- Implement software for the control and data plane of network infrastructure devices, as well as applications and network stack components for endhosts using SCION.
- Design systems and collaborate on code development, software release, and software testing.
- Assist in conducting testing and evaluation of prototypes using the global production network.
- Maintain local testbed resources and contribute to documentation.
Requirements
- Passion for development and open source contribution, hands-on work, and supporting a research organization.
- Not intimidated by developing large systems, enjoys working with people, and rises to meet unforeseen challenges.
- Understanding of network security and computer networks.
- Advanced degree in computer science, engineering, or relevant work experience.
- 5+ years of experience in design, implementation, and testing of large-scale systems with attention to security, scalability, and high performance implementation.
- 5+ years of experience in administration of Unix-style machines and management of complex networks of machines.
- Experience with Go or Rust, C++, C programming in a Linux environment.
- Solid experience writing Python scripts.
- Experience with maintaining/contributing to OSS and familiarity with big code bases.
- Comfortable with most aspects of Unix/FreeBSD/Linux system administration, such as system installation and configuration, and fundamentals of security.
- Understanding of software engineering and design.
- Familiar with Git version control, containers, CI/CD, Ansible, Prometheus, Grafana.
- Ability to contribute to multiple projects/demands simultaneously and enjoy student supervision.
- Well versed in English.
- Additional beneficial experience: Deep knowledge of low-level networking and Linux network internals (e.g., network stack implementation, TUN/TAP devices, Netfilter Queue).
- Deep knowledge of network protocols and techniques (e.g., QUIC, TCP/IP, NAT, NAT traversal, middle boxes, tunnelling, VPNs, raw sockets).
- Understanding of cryptographic operations and protocols.
- Participation in relevant communities (IETF, Golang/Rust meetups, NOGs, etc.).
- Experience with Linux Kernel or mobile programming is a plus; knowledge of DPDK, AF_XDP, or eBPF is appreciated.
Benefits
- Interesting challenges in the field of inter-domain networking and network security in a university environment.
- Wide range of inter-domain routing and network security related projects.
- Industry collaboration opportunities.
- Independent work as well as international collaborations.
- Inclusive culture that promotes equality of opportunity, values diversity, and nurtures a respectful working and learning environment.
- Commitment to sustainability and working towards a climate-neutral future.
