How You Will Contribute And What You Will Learn

At Nokia Bell Labs Espoo, we are seeking a master’s thesis workers or interns to work with our researchers on the topic of optimizing low-latency data exchange between microservices implemented as containers. Microservice architecture is an emerging paradigm used in the implementation of large cloud-based systems. However, in cases where the system is using low-latency messaging between microservices, the current messaging solutions between containers become a bottleneck.

In your work, you will study and evaluate how currently available techniques can seamlessly be replaced with faster and more optimized solutions in various use cases and set-ups, where differentiating requirements need to be supported in a secure manner in multitenant environments. You will also contribute to developing those solutions further together with the team.

You will work in the Network Systems and Security Research Lab at Nokia Bell Labs in Espoo in a multicultural team of researchers solving the network challenges of tomorrow in close collaboration with business groups and other research teams around the world. You will be expected to come up with your own ideas and bring them to fruition. Each internship requires a 6-month duration.

Key Skills And Experience

• Programming skills (e.g., C and C++). Knowledge of Rust and Java is a plus.
• Experience of working with containerized microservices in distributed embedded systems is preferred. Kubernetes and Docker are known to you.
• Experience of programming in a Linux environment. Understanding of system-level communication interfaces and libraries is a plus. Also, some knowledge and experience of working with either TCP and other IP protocols, or DPDK, memif and other low-level data handling packages, or CNI-plugins helps.
• Together with the team, you should be able to integrate and evaluate a communication software library with APIs to various set-ups using continuous low-latency messaging streams. Fast prototyping skills are needed.
• English language skills – English is the preferable language of your thesis and anyway, everyday working language in our organization.
