IBM Linux Kernel & Virtualization (KVM) Development in Poughkeepsie, New York
IntroductionAre you interested in operating systems development and Open Source? Your favorites are Linux and low-level programming? Would you like to be part of an Open Source community, and do you intend to build up a reputation as an Open Source maintainer? If so, our team is the right place for you!Our Linux development team is responsible for enhancing the Linux kernel for IBM Z / IBM LinuxOne including its device drivers, libraries, tools, compilers, debuggers, virtualization (KVM) and test automation (CI/CD). We tightly collaborate with the international development teams of IBM (e.g. hardware and firmware development), the global maintainers of Open Source communities, and our Linux distribution partners (Red Hat, SUSE, Canonical). Our focus is on the support of the IBM Z / LinuxONE architecture.Your Role and ResponsibilitiesAs a key member of our dynamic team, you will play a vital role in crafting exceptional software experiences. Your responsibilities will comprise of design and specifications for new enhancements, coding (including test automation), problem determination and bug fixing, performance analysis, submitting your code to upstream community repositories, and solving client problems. Attendance at Open Source community meetings is recommended and supported, and client-facing activities (e.g. client support, providing lectures at conferences) are possible. You will closely interact with the respective Open Source communities and our distribution partners.In this job offering, we are specifically looking for a new team member to grow our KVM development team (focusing on KVM/kernel, QEMU & libvirt).Work location:Poughkeepsie, NYRequired Technical and Professional Expertise2+ years of experience in open source development in one or more areas of KVM, Linux kernel, QEMU, libvirt, virtio, vfioSkills in operating systems internals (e.g. memory management & task scheduling, interrupts, device drivers)Experience in source code repository systems (e.g. git), scripting languages (e.g. Python) and test automation (e.g. Jenkins)Demonstrated communications skillsYou are highly motivatedPreferred Technical and Professional ExpertiseContributions to Open Source projects or Open Source maintainer status (for multiple years)Experience in low-level/assembler development (preferably on non-x86 architectures)Skills in current I/O technologies (e.g. PCI, NVMe, RDMA)Skills in virtualization and emulation (e.g. qemu TCG) technologiesSkills in IBM Z architecture (
