The role involves optimizing virtualization stacks and improving the performance, reliability, and efficiency of virtual machine environments. The individual will design and implement kernel modules, drivers, and system-level components to enhance compute infrastructure. Responsibilities include investigating performance bottlenecks and collaborating with cloud engineering teams to optimize workload interactions with hardware. The position requires developing monitoring tools and working with machine learning engineers to align system performance with computational needs. Additionally, the role contributes to the design of next-generation compute infrastructure and shares technical knowledge regarding Linux kernel internals.

Candidates must possess experience with Linux kernel development, system programming, or related low-level software engineering. Proficiency in C and C++ is required, with a preference for experience in systems languages like Rust. Applicants should understand virtualization technologies, Linux resource management, and performance profiling. A bachelor's degree or an equivalent combination of education, training, and experience in a relevant field is required.
