About the Kernel Engineer position

We are looking for a Kernel Engineer who will join our Kernel team and help us work on everything from file systems to networking stacks to hardware device drivers. This is not a role where you hack on kernel modules or apply relevant patches. This is a full on immersive kernel engineering role. One day you might implement a thread safe queue while another day you might be tasked with implementing a RTC driver. Computer science fundamentals thus become highly important. We take cues from from the Tanenbaum school of thought.

Kernel Engineer responsibilities are:

• Work on schedulers

• Work on hypervisors.

• Knowledge Implement storage/network drivers.

• Knowledge of file systems, memory management.

• Reverse black box drivers.

Kernel Engineer requirements are:

• 6+ years' experience of working in software engineering

• Significant experience at the kernel layer.

• Excellent knowledge of OS coding techniques, IP protocols, interfaces and hardware subsystems

• Good working programming experience in C and assembly including debugging skills.

• Working knowledge of kernel land development

• Understanding of hypervisors (pref. for kvm).

• Understanding of 64-bit x86 architecture.

• Strong documentation and writing skills

• BS degree in Computer Science or Engineering

This is for a FULL-TIME ONSITE position.
