Ready to Code at the Core of the System
Are you an engineer who thrives at the boundary where hardware and software meet Do you want to move beyond surface-level features and build the foundational security infrastructure that powers a global product
We are seeking an elite Kernel Software Developer to join our client's mission-driven team. This isn't just another development role it's an opportunity to solve the industry's most complex, low-level engineering problems and make a tangible impact on real-world security. You will be entrusted with designing, implementing, and fortifying key subsystems in Windows, Linux, and macOS environments.
If you're ready for a deep technical challenge, we want to hear from you.
Your Mission & Responsibilities:
As a core member of our systems engineering team, you will:
- Master the Kernel: Dive deep into the OS to develop, debug, and optimize critical kernel-level code in C, with an obsessive focus on performance,stability, and security.
- Command the Hardware: Design, build, and maintain high-performance device drivers for essential subsystems, including USB, networking, graphics, storage, and power management.
- Build the Foundation: Work with low-level system APIs to validate functionality from user space and ensure the entire software stack is built on a rock-solid foundation.
- Engineer for Scale: Contribute to the design and maintenance of robust CI/CD pipelines specifically tailored for the complexities of kernel and driver development.
- Shape Custom Platforms: Take charge of porting, configuring, and maintaining specialized Linux distributions for unique hardware platforms.
What You Bring to the Table:
- Deep Systems Expertise: 5-7+ years of professional experience with a proven track record in low-level software development.
- Fluency in C: You are a master of C programming, comfortable navigating pointers, memory management, and multi-threading in your sleep.
- OS Internals Knowledge: You have hands-on, intimate experience with the kernel internals of Windows, Linux, and/or macOS.
- Architectural Understanding: A solid grasp of modern computer architecture and server hardware platforms is essential.
- Versatility: You have experience building system-level software and tooling, using both C and Python to get the job done.
Why This Is a Career-Defining Opportunity:
- Solve the Hardest Problems: This is your chance to do real engineering. You'll be working deep within the OS, creating low-level security infrastructure that few in the world get to touch.
- Accelerate Your Growth: The learning curve is steep and rewarding. You'll be surrounded by experts, pushing the boundaries of technology and becoming a true subject matter expert in cross-platform kernel development.
- Make a Massive Impact: The code you write will be a core, foundational component of a product with a significant real-world security mission.
