  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or related field.
  • 3+ years of professional experience in low‑level software or kernel development.
  • Proven contributions to open‑source projects, preferably the Linux kernel.
  • Strong problem‑solving and performance analysis abilities.

Required skills

  • Proficiency in C, C++, and Rust.
  • Deep understanding of operating system internals: memory management, scheduling, interrupts, device drivers.
  • Experience with Git, Bash scripting, and Jenkins automation.
  • Knowledge of modern I/O technologies such as PCI, NVMe, and RDMA.
  • Familiarity with kernel debugging tools and CI/CD workflows.

What we offer
