Job Description

Deepen kernel-level diagnosis and remediation. This is the foundational, cross-substrate seat: the platform's fixes are only as good as its kernel reasoning.

Note: this seat opens later. We're listing it now so the right person can introduce themselves early.

Location: Remote (4h overlap with Pacific or IST; Seattle or Bengaluru on-site preferred). Full-time.

The bar

  • 10+ years of relevant engineering experience.
  • Deep Linux kernel internals.
  • Crash and ramdump forensics, live and post-mortem.
  • Kernel tracing and profiling: ftrace, perf, eBPF.
  • Driver and BSP experience.
  • Strong C.
  • Proficient in day-to-day work with CLI-based AI coding tools like Claude Code (or an equivalent). It's how the team operates, not a nice-to-have.

What you'll do

  • Build ramdump and crash forensics: drgn, vmcoreinfo, ramdump parsing, post-mortem analysis under customer deadlines.
  • Reason across scheduler, memory management, and driver internals.
  • Ground remediations in kernel source.

Bonus

  • Android kernel.
  • ARM64 internals.
  • Embedded / hardware bringup.
  • drgn and crash tooling.
  • Upstream contributions (patches accepted on LKML).
  • Yocto distro bring-up.

In your application, tell us what you'd own here, and the hardest thing you've shipped in this domain.
