Job Title: Senior Linux Kernel Engineer

Experience: 5–10 Years

Location: Bangalore / Chennai

Domain: Enterprise Linux / Kernel Development

Job Summary

We are seeking a highly skilled Senior Linux Kernel Engineer with deep expertise in kernel development, debugging, and performance optimization. The role involves working on enterprise-grade Linux distributions, kernel lifecycle management, security patching, and low-level hardware integration.

Key Responsibilities

1. Kernel Lifecycle & Maintenance

• Lead kernel upgrade strategies (e.g., LTS migrations such as 5.15 → 6.x) while ensuring stability and compatibility.
• Perform patch porting across kernel versions, resolving API and dependency conflicts.
• Track and mitigate security vulnerabilities by monitoring CVEs and upstream sources (e.g., LKML).
• Backport critical fixes to production kernels without impacting system stability.

2. Debugging & System Stability

• Act as an escalation point for kernel panics and system crashes.
• Perform post-mortem analysis using kdump, crash, and gdb.
• Debug early boot issues (UEFI, initramfs, kernel initialization).
• Conduct performance analysis using eBPF, ftrace, and perf to optimize system behavior.

3. Driver Development & Hardware Integration

• Design, develop, and maintain device drivers (network, storage, GPU, or character devices).
• Work closely with hardware through DMA, interrupts (MSI-X), and register-level programming.
• Maintain out-of-tree drivers using DKMS or similar frameworks.
• Ensure compatibility of drivers across kernel updates.

Required Technical Skills

• Programming: Strong expertise in C (mandatory) and C++
• Kernel Internals: Deep understanding of:
• Virtual File System (VFS)
• Memory Management (MMU, Paging)
• Process Scheduler
• Linux Networking Stack
• Debugging Tools:
• kdump, crash, gdb
• kprobes, trace-cmd, ftrace
• perf, valgrind
• Hardware debugging tools (JTAG, Serial Console)
• Build Systems:
• Kbuild, Makefiles
• Kernel packaging (RPM/Debian)
• Security:
• Experience with CVE patching and backporting
• Knowledge of SELinux/AppArmor
• Kernel hardening (FIPS, KSPP)

Preferred Skills

• Experience contributing to open-source kernel projects
• Familiarity with Linux Kernel Mailing List (LKML) workflows
• Exposure to enterprise Linux distributions (RHEL, Ubuntu, SUSE)
• Experience with performance tuning and system optimization at scale

1. Core Programming (C Language)

• Must have strong hands-on experience in C programming
• Comfortable with pointers, memory management, and low-level concepts

2. Kernel Internals Expertise

• Should have worked in at least one subsystem:
• VFS / File Systems
• Memory Management
• Scheduler / Networking

3. Debugging & Crash Analysis

• Experience handling kernel panics
• Hands-on with vmcore analysis tools

4. Security & Patching

• Understanding of CVE fixes and backporting

5. Driver Development

• Experience in writing or maintaining device drivers

6. Performance & Advanced Debugging

• Exposure to eBPF, ftrace, perf

7. Hardware-Level Understanding

• Knowledge of DMA, interrupts, hardware interaction

Soft Skills

• Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities
• Excellent communication skills
• Ability to work independently and in collaborative environments
• Quick learner with adaptability to new technologies
