This individual will work with the global team to develop, maintain, and improve the OS as well as related quality testing, delivery, deployment, and maintenance systems for both bare-metal servers and third-party cloud servers.

Responsibilities: - Combine software and systems engineering to build and run large-scale, massively fault-tolerant systems, ensuring reliability for critical internal and external systems. - Troubleshoot at the system software level, including operating systems and components such as storage, networking, and compute engines. - Improve and optimize automated operating system monitoring, software deployment, and upgrade systems. - Support new hardware platforms (CPU, GPU, network, and storage devices) by evolving and adapting system software. - Optimize AIOps tools for managing large-scale server clusters.

Minimum Qualifications: - Bachelor's degree or higher in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related fields. - Strong knowledge of common data structures, algorithms, multi-threaded programming, and server performance optimization. - Solid understanding of Linux operating system concepts and IT infrastructure. - Proficient with Linux shell commands and scripting. - Experience with C or C++, and proficiency in languages such as Python, Go, Rust, or CUDA.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
