Key Responsibilities
1. Kernel Lifecycle & Maintenance
Upstream Alignment: Lead the strategy for upgrading enterprise kernels (e.g., migrating from LTS 5.15 to 6.6) while maintaining binary compatibility where required.
Patch Porting: Expertly port functional and performance patches between disparate kernel versions, resolving complex code conflicts and API changes.
CVE Mitigation: Monitor the Linux Kernel Mailing List (LKML) and security advisories to identify and backport CVE patches from upstream to production environments.
2. Deep-Dive Debugging & Stability
Panic Analysis: Act as the final escalation point for Kernel Panics and "Oops" messages. Utilize kdump, crash, and gdb to perform post-mortem analysis of vmcores.
Boot-Time Resolution: Debug critical failures during the early boot process (UEFI handoff, initramfs, and early kernel init) where standard logging is unavailable.
Performance Tuning: Use ebpf, ftrace, and perf to identify bottlenecks in memory management, scheduler latency, or I/O throughput.
3. Driver Development & Hardware Integration
Driver Ownership: Design, develop, or maintain at least one Open Source or Proprietary Device Driver (Network, Storage, GPU, or Character devices).
Hardware Abstraction: Interface directly with hardware registers, managing DMA mappings, and optimizing interrupt handling (MSI-X, Threaded IRQs).
Out-of-Tree Management: Maintain driver compatibility across kernel updates using DKMS or similar frameworks.
4. Infrastructure & Automation
Registry Management: Oversee the distribution of custom kernel builds and modules via GitLab Container/Package Registries.

About us
ob Description
We are seeking candidates who can have a great conversation with Window/*nix kernel in C/C++ or Rust. The candidate will work with eBPF and Windows/Linux Kernel. The candidate will work closely with the Computation Engineer to port the ML layer into the kernel module.
Requirements
- C/C++ is a must. Rust knowledge is a huge plus.
- Good exposure to debugging (more than just `!analyze -v`). We suck at debugging here, so can use your help!
- Great version control (Git) hygiene and familiarity with CI/CD. Test- and issue-driven development (that's our new term).
- Candidate should prioritize documentation to meeting (can't emphasize enough). Who has time to talk and listen (and forget) when one can write and read? During the interview, we may ask you how to organize your notes, references, and knowledge.
- Familiarity with scripting languages such as Python/Powershell/bash is appreciated. Python is used a scripting language everywhere in our stack.
- If you don't know Java, that's +1 ;-p (just kidding).
