Job Description

As society increasingly relies on data communications and AI-driven services, ensuring the resilience, security, and efficiency of the underlying ICT infrastructure becomes increasingly important. The emergence of autonomous AI agents that communicate, coordinate, and collaborate across distributed environments introduces new networking challenges, including reliable agent-to-agent communication, low-latency coordination, resource-aware information exchange, and resilience to network disruptions, congestion, and security threats.
