DPU Operator Enhancement
About the Organization
OPI project is aiming to expand the OpenShift DPU Operator to support NVIDIA, xSight, and/or Mangoboost hardware. The ideal candidate needs to be comfortable at the intersection of infrastructure software and hardware offloading. The expected skill set is a combination of low-level hardware abstraction skills and high-level Kubernetes operator patterns. Technical skills: Golang expertise Github, CI/CD, Linux Networking expertise (Strong understanding of SR-IOV, OVS-DPDK, and virtual functions (VFs)) Familiarity with the OPI APIs and how DPUs handle networking and storage offloading. Experience with developing Kubernetes Operators. Experience with operator-sdk or controller-runtime. They must understand Custom Resource Definitions (CRDs), Reconcile loops, and watch patterns. Understanding Vendor SDKs (ex: DOCA). Optional - Comprehensive knowledge of the OpenShift ecosystem
