Responsibilities
- Design, build, maintain, validate, publish, and safely roll out Linux hypervisor and guest operating-system images for containerized workloads.
- Develop lifecycle-management and platform components using Java, Go, and shell scripting.
- Integrate and troubleshoot containerd, runc, OCI container behavior, QEMU/KVM virtualization, and paravirtualized devices.
- Customize Linux kernel-facing, systemd, networking, storage, security, package-management, and boot layers.
- Build RPM packages, repositories, image-composition workflows, release manifests, and automated image-release pipelines.
- Improve performance, boot time, reliability, isolation, resource utilization, and scalability across virtualized Linux environments.
- Design and execute functional, integration, performance, regression, failure, and security testing.
- Automate infrastructure provisioning and validation with Terraform and infrastructure-as-code practices.
- Coordinate staged releases across hypervisor fleets and global regions, including canary deployment, monitoring, rollback, and operational readiness.
- Integrate the data plane with OCI networking, storage, identity, telemetry, and infrastructure lifecycle services and APIs.
- Participate in on-call and incident response, lead root-cause analysis, and improve monitoring, runbooks, and reliability.
- Create design documents and operational guidance, influence technical direction, and mentor engineers through technical leadership.
Requirements
- Bachelor's or master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
- Approximately 6 or more years of relevant production software or systems-engineering experience, or demonstrably equivalent IC4-level scope.
- Strong production programming experience with Java 17 or later.
- Hands-on Linux systems engineering and kernel-level debugging, including processes, services, namespaces, cgroups, systemd, networking, storage, and operating-system behavior.
- Deep container-engineering experience involving container images, runtimes, or isolation concepts such as Docker/OCI containers, containerd, runc, or CRI-O.
- Strong Bash or shell scripting and low-level troubleshooting skills.
- Strong foundations in data structures, algorithms, operating systems, networking, distributed systems, testing, and software design.
- Production experience with at least one public cloud and highly available services, including monitoring, incident response, and on-call participation.
- Experience with automated testing, CI/CD, release automation, and infrastructure as code; Terraform experience is expected.
- Preferred experience includes Java 25, JVM internals, concurrency, profiling, garbage collection, tuning, QEMU/KVM, Go, Rust, C, kernel development, eBPF, Linux image creation, advanced cgroups, networking, storage, security, low-level debugging, ARM/aarch64, x86, and OCI services.
- Ability to diagnose multi-layer failures, communicate technical tradeoffs clearly, collaborate effectively, document decisions, and exercise independent engineering judgment.
Benefits
- Competitive benefits including flexible medical, life insurance, and retirement options.
- Volunteer programs and opportunities to give back to communities.
- Accessibility assistance and reasonable accommodations are available during the employment process.
