NanoVMs | Kernel Engineer | SF, CA | Remote/Onsite | Full-time/Contractor | https://nanovms.com We're looking for kernel engineers. You don't need prior professional experience although you should have definitely at least hacked around in the ecosystem before. You'll need at least a basic understanding of lower level filesystems and networking architecture. You should have a love (or hate) of section 2 and 3 of the man pages and know how to go about doing basic static/dynamic analysis. You should know C and have a great understanding of basic data structures and algorithms (cause you'll be creating more advanced ones) - we aren't just stuffing forms into databases for this role. If you happen to be a performance nut (cycles, nanoseconds, iops, etc.) or a security aficionado (trapsleds? retguards? canaries?) that'd be great! We are solving real world security issues that even the giants of tech are afflicted with. Current operating systems are not working for us anymore and we are dealing with the reality that we killed off unix a long time ago when we went to the 'cloud'. We're very partial to on-site fulltime roles in our SOMA SF, CA based office but if you got the chops we're open to other engagements. If any of this speaks to you get in touch. Please check out our careers page or feel free to shoot me a msg or email - ian@ .
