The environment is highly collaborative and globally distributed, bringing together engineers working across containers, virtual machines, orchestration platforms, and low-level system components.
You will engage directly with upstream communities while building mission-critical software used across cloud, AI, and enterprise workloads.
This is a hands-on engineering role where performance, security, and reliability are central to every decision.
It is ideal for engineers passionate about operating systems, systems programming, and shaping the future of cloud infrastructure.
Accountabilities

- Conduct security reviews and implement defense-in-depth strategies across cloud-native systems.
- Build, monitor, and optimize performance benchmarks to ensure system efficiency and reliability.
- Collaborate with globally distributed engineering teams to design and deliver complex system features.
- Debug and resolve critical system issues across container and virtualization stacks.
- Review code contributions and ensure adherence to high engineering and quality standards.
Requirements
- Strong academic background in Computer Science, Engineering, or related STEM field, or equivalent practical experience.
- Proven experience working on open-source container or virtualization technologies.
- Hands-on experience with low-level systems development, including kernel or systems programming.
- Proficiency in languages such as Go, Rust, C, or C++.
- Solid experience with Linux environments (Ubuntu or Debian preferred).
- Strong understanding of distributed systems, microservices, and cloud infrastructure concepts.
- Excellent communication skills and ability to work effectively in remote, distributed teams.
- Strong analytical mindset, curiosity, and high level of ownership and accountability.
- Professional-level English communication skills (written and spoken).
Benefits
- Remote-first work environment with global collaboration.
- Annual performance-based compensation reviews and bonus opportunities.
- Learning and development budget for continuous growth.
- Paid annual leave and parental leave policies.
- Employee assistance and wellness support programs.
- Opportunities for international travel and in-person team gatherings.
- Recognition programs and performance-based rewards.
- Travel support benefits for global company events.
