At Nokia, we believe in subject matter expertise and strong code ownership. Our development process is intentionally streamlined to allow developers to focus on what they do best—writing great code. With minimal overhead, developers collaborate directly with product managers, peer designers, and QA teams. If you take pride in your code, you’ll feel right at home here. Our Kanata site serves as a major R&D hub within our international team, contributing to key areas across all our products and offering rich opportunities for growth. These include embedded platform OS/driver development (64-bit SMP), Linux technologies (Yocto, KVM, QEMU, libvirt, Python3), data path engineering (proprietary network processors, third-party and virtualized), control plane protocols (IP/MPLS), OAM (CFM, EFM, TWAMP, performance monitoring), timing systems (PTP, NTP, SyncE, SETS, BITS, GNSS), PHY and optics (Ethernet PHY, MAC, SerDes, clock recovery, 100/400G optical transceivers), deep packet inspection (application assurance), management interfaces (SNMP, NETCONF, YANG), and network function virtualization (VSR). As part of our team, you’ll be immersed in our development culture, mentored by top-tier software developers who take pride in their code, and work closely with our verification team to deliver high-quality software.
