Senior Systems Engineer

About this role

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
