Kernel & Container Engineer

Kernel & Container Engineer

We're seeking a versatile Kernel & Container Engineer to join our team and help architect the foundation of our edge computing platform. This role uniquely combines low-level kernel development with modern container orchestration, requiring someone who is equally comfortable debugging kernel modules and designing sophisticated containerized systems.

What You'll Do

• Design and optimize kernel-level components for Intel, AMD, and ARM processor architectures
• Build and enhance container images optimized for resource-constrained edge devices
• Create robust CI / CD pipelines using GitHub Actions for automated testing and deployment
• Work with embedded container operating systems, particularly Amazon Bottlerocket
• Architect serverless solutions leveraging AWS Lambda, S3, and other cloud-native services
• Containerize applications and modernize existing container images for improved performance and security
• Maintain and optimize container repositories for multi-architecture deployments

What Makes This Role Unique

This isn't just kernel work or just container engineering — it's both. You'll work at the intersection of low-level systems programming and modern cloud-native architectures, solving problems that require understanding everything from processor instruction sets to distributed container orchestration. If you've ever wanted to see your kernel optimizations improve container performance across thousands of edge devices, this is your opportunity.

Don't meet every requirement? We encourage you to apply anyway. If you're passionate about systems programming and eager to learn, we want to hear from you. The ideal candidate brings strong fundamentals and a growth mindset.

About Us

We're building the future of edge computing with a security-first platform that transforms how enterprises deploy and manage fleets of distributed endpoint devices. Built on Amazon Bottlerocket, our platform enables seamless container deployment across Intel, AMD, and ARM-based devices, delivering enterprise-grade security with complete data isolation through dedicated, single-tenant management consoles.
