Job Description

This role requires a strong understanding of Linux systems, particularly at the kernel level, networking, Docker, and the ability to optimize for both x86 and ARM64 architectures.

In this role, you will:

Develop and maintain the core components of umbrelOS, focusing on performance, stability, and security across different hardware architectures.
Ensure optimal integration and performance of umbrelOS on the Umbrel Home.
Design and implement system-level enhancements.
Conduct rigorous testing and debugging at the kernel level to handle system updates and compatibility issues.

We hope you:

Can autonomously figure out solutions to engineering challenges
Value clear and frequent communication (we do a lot of reading and writing)
Enjoy being a generalist and are not tied down to a specific framework or surface area of our codebase
Are naturally curious and willing to learn something they don’t have experience in
Have good judgement of when to ship: perfect is the enemy of good
