Linux Systems Engineer

(Embedded) Linux is your home turf - You’re comfortable building, debugging and shipping Linux systems, from the kernel down to drivers and up through userspace, and you’re not afraid to read source code (or write it).

• You care about security - You think about threat models, attack surfaces and trust boundaries, and you want to make systems that are secure by design instead of secure by hope.
• Being able to deep dive into technical issues - You love code and love debugging issues down to the core (which can be hardware - sometimes).
• You’re fluent in English - English is our business language, internal and external and you should be able to communicate with it.
• You like working with Open-Source - sounds obvious but working with the open-source communities can be challenging sometimes. You have to be able to find the best possible solutions for our customers and the community.
• Be engaged - At 9elements we help each other. Our mission is big: We transform the firmware industry - it takes dedication and team effort to tear down this ecosystem and build it up from scratch again.

Assets

• Linux Kernel Development

• Hypervisor experience - You’ve worked with KVM, Xen, or smaller research hypervisors and understand virtualization from the bare metal up? We’d love to hear from you.
• Hands-on experience with TPMs, secure boot, measured boot or remote attestation.

• Yocto, Buildroot or custom distro experience for embedded targets.

• Low-level languages are your friends - C is a given, Rust is a plus.

9elements is the leading open-source firmware vendor in the world. Our engineers deliver production-grade open-source firmware for millions of servers everyday - and we are dedicated to open-source! We love being part of the community and we understand our responsibility to shape and drive the whole ecosystem forward!, Linux is at the heart of modern infrastructure - from the smallest embedded device to the largest data center fleet. At 9elements we help our customers build secure, trustworthy platforms based on open-source Linux stacks - from the firmware up. Whether it’s hardening a Linux-based bootloader, integrating measured boot, or bringing a hypervisor to a new platform, we make sure open-source becomes the secure foundation that the industry can rely on., Be part of our own conference - the Open-Source Firmware Conference (https://www.osfc.io)

• Choose your platform: Lenovo or Framework? We got you! You want to run Arch? Sure thing. Choose your platform where you can work best.

• Full Remote: We are headquartered in Germany and all the hardware is in our labs here. You can be around the world - we enable you to fully develop remotely.
• Your schedule: We need your work time to overlap a couple of hours with the German work time. Other than that - shape your work time as you need it to be as long as you get the job done.
