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.

CI/CD for Kernel: Build automated testing pipelines (Hardware-in-the-loop) to validate kernel stability before enterprise-wide deployment.



Required Technical Skills:


Languages: Mastery of C/C++ Programming (C is preferred)

Kernel Internals: Deep understanding of VFS, Memory Management (MMU/Paging), Process Scheduling, and Networking Stacks.

Debugging Tools: Expert-level use of kprobes, trace-cmd, valgrind, and hardware-level debuggers (JTAG/Serial Console).

Build Systems: Proficiency with Kbuild, Makefiles, and building RPM/Debian packages for kernel distribution.

Security: Hands-on experience with SELinux/AppArmor policy development and kernel hardening (FIPS, KSPP).

Hi

About us

Our client  provides security for distributed data and devices

Job description
We are seeking candidates who can have a great conversation with Window/*nix kernel in Rust or C/C++ (Rust preferred).
The candidate will work with eBPF, networking layer, and filesystems on various OSes (Windows, Linux, RTOS Kernel). The candidate will work closely with the Computation Engineer (TinyML) to integrate ML layer into the Kernel.
 
 

Requirements

  • C/C++ is a must. Rust is preferred. We already have part of the core product written in Rust. If you know Haskell, please let us know. We don't use Haskell in our stack but like folks who know it.
  • It is essential that if you have done courses or have work experience in Operating Systems, Distributed Systems, and Computer Networks.
  • 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 (We use Notion and self-hsoted Gitlab).
  • Familiarity with scripting languages such as Python or Nim is appreciated. Both languages are used heavily in DevOps here.
  • If you don't know Java, that's +1 ;-p (just kidding).

Regards
Team Merito
