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.
