  • Implementation of OS security features and defining modes and mechanisms to control software and hardware configurations
  • Enabling adaptive runtime behavior for various scenarios and management of hardware-in-the-loop continuous integration (HIL and CI) infrastructure
Qualifications
  • 2+ years of experience managing teams that deliver production-level software
  • Proven success in hiring, mentoring, and developing high-performing teams
  • Strong cross-functional project management experience and excellent written and verbal communication skills
  • Solid understanding of operating system internals
  • Familiarity with Linux containerization (e.g., chroot, cgroups, namespaces), filesystems, networking, software build and update systems
  • Proficiency in languages like C or C++ (without automatic memory management) and scripting languages like Bash or Python and experience in designing architectures for large, complex software systems
Bonus Qualifications
  • Expertise in GPU hardware and software architecture
  • Experience with robotics or autonomous driving technologies
  • Graduate degree with a focus on networking, operating systems, or computer security
