Description supplied by the original job listing.
At Kandou, we are redefining the economics of AI infrastructure. Our mission is to democratise AI by significantly reducing the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) of hardware systems — a critical barrier to scalable adoption.
Our proprietary MIMO-over-copper technology powers a high-performance, chiplet-based AI memory fabric that is both scalable and energy-efficient. Unlike traditional interconnects, our solution reduces power consumption significantly while preserving high bandwidth and ultra-low latency — unlocking unprecedented efficiency for AI training and inference at scale.
We are looking for a Customer Platform, SDK & Interoperability Architect.
Location: Hyderabad, India
Responsabilities
Architect the customer-facing software platform for Randa, including the adaptation layer, SDK, diagnostic tools, telemetry interfaces and reference integrations.
Define stable APIs, extension points and versioning contracts that support customer-specific requirements without forking the core platform.
Own C and Python management libraries, command-line tools, log-analysis utilities, integration examples and developer documentation.
Lead interoperability and qualification across NIC, switch-ASIC and host-BMC platforms; maintain the test matrix, known-failure catalog and regression strategy.
Represent Kandou software in customer technical discussions and escalations, converting field requirements into governed, reusable platform capabilities.
Partner with firmware, platform validation, product management and field engineering to deliver secure, backward-compatible and supportable customer releases.
Essential Experience
10+ years of platform, embedded or systems software experience, including architecture or technical leadership on shipping products.
Device-adjacent software experience on networking silicon, AEC/AOC, optical modules, retimers, storage or comparable high-speed hardware.
Strong API and SDK architecture skills with hands-on C and/or C++ plus Python development.
Experience designing adaptation, plugin or hook-based architectures that isolate customer-specific logic behind stable interfaces.
Customer or OEM integration experience across NICs, switch platforms, BMCs, drivers or management software.
Experience with semantic versioning, backward compatibility, release governance and technical documentation for external developers.
Working knowledge of hardware management and sideband interfaces such as I2C/SMBus, MCTP or similar protocols.
Excellent customer communication, technical decision-making and cross-functional leadership skills; BS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering or Computer Science, or equivalent experience.
Useful Experience
CMIS, OSFP MSA, SFF conventions or pluggable-module management software.
Hyperscaler or tier-one OEM qualification and field-issue triage.
REST, gRPC, Go or Rust bindings, and schema-driven API development.
Telemetry pipelines, diagnostic analytics and privacy-aware customer data handling.
Hardware-in-loop lab automation, host emulation and automated interoperability testing.
Secure software supply chain, artifact signing, access isolation and standards-group participation.
If this is the role you have been looking for and you want to be part of a growing Company, with an exciting future then we would love to hear from you. Together We Kandou It!!
