Senior Software Engineer School of Computer Science

## Description Carnegie Mellon University s mission is to build a transformative education experience for students focused on deep disciplinary knowledge; problem solving; leadership, communication, and interpersonal skills; and personal health and well-being. Carnegie Mellon s School of Computer Science (SCS) i widely recognized as one of the first and the best computer science programs in the world. Our programs train the next generation of innovators to take real- world problems and improve the way people live and work. The goal of the project is to develop a robust communication library that optimizes content delivery and retrieval in challenged networks where intermittent connectivity is common, starting from a research protototype. The communication library is based on information-centric networking concepts to asynchronously deliver data when no stable end-to-end path is available to deliver the data synchronously. The candidates primary responsibility is to lead the development of the communication library and improve its robustness and efficiency. The candidate will also support other team members who are developing applications that use the library to run efficiently and robustly in challenged networks. Example applications include wireless device fingerprinting and federate machine learning, but may be added. The position is initially for one year with potential for renewal (needed). The work environment is highly energetic, dynamic, and autonomous.
