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).
