About The Role
We are looking for a highly skilled Linux Kernel Developer to join our engineering team, focusing on building and maintaining low-level components for endpoint security solutions such as EDR, malware detection engines, runtime behavior monitors, and integrity enforcement tools . This role requires deep expertise in Linux kernel internals , kernel module development , and strong familiarity with security concepts .
Key Responsibilities
- Design and develop Linux kernel modules and eBPF-based components for monitoring and enforcement.
- Implement low-level hooks and tracepoints to capture file, process, memory, and network events.
- Build and maintain real-time monitoring infrastructure (e.g., using LSM, Netfilter, eBPF, fanotify/inotify, ptrace).
- Work closely with the threat research and userland teams to support detection logic and telemetry pipelines.
- Develop kernel-space and user-space communication mechanisms (Netlink, procfs, ioctls).
- Analyze and debug system crashes, kernel panics, and performance issues.
-
Build hardened, tamper-resistant, and stealth-capable components to support security products.
- 5+ years of experience in Linux kernel development, preferably in a production environment.
- Proficiency in C for low-level and kernel module development.
- Strong understanding of Linux kernel internals, including task management, VFS, memory management (kmalloc/slab), namespaces, cgroups, and syscalls.
- Experience with LSM, eBPF/XDP, Kprobes, Netfilter, or auditd.
- Hands-on experience with system call hooking, runtime inspection, or process injection techniques.
-
Strong skills with gdb
- Prior experience working on Linux security solutions such as EDR agents, AV engines, rootkit detectors, or compliance enforcement tools.
- Familiarity with Linux malware behaviors, IoT malware, exploit techniques, anti-debugging, and code obfuscation.
- Experience building self-defense mechanisms and stealth drivers.
- Knowledge of container and cloud runtime security (Docker, Kubernetes, eBPF-based container monitoring).
- Familiarity in one or more of the following - SELinux, AppArmor, LSM module development.
-
Contributions to open-source kernel/security projects or published security research.
- Become the go-to application and infrastructure security expert within the dev team.
- Work on high-impact products using cutting-edge cloud and container technologies.
-
Influence design, architecture, and delivery with a security-first approach.

Senior Embedded Software Engineer
@ Embedd 
What we're looking for
At embedd.it, we power hardware-software integration in embedded devices. We turn fragmented semiconductor chip data into configurable digital twins, then deterministically generate code, tests, and documentation – making integration faster, cheaper, and resilient to supply chain shocks.
We’re looking for a true legend – someone with abstract thinking and deep expertise in low-level software development. You’ll build vendor-agnostic tooling for MCU and peripheral integration to solve hardware-software integration once and for all. We work at the intersection of embedded systems, code generation, compilers, and machine learning. It’s your chance to help redefine how low-level development is done.
Responsibilities
- Drive the architecture of the driver structures and system layout
- Define scalable patterns for cross-architectural integration across bare-metal, Zephyr, Linux, and other environments
- Deconstruct complex SoC device trees and translate hardware descriptions into structured internal models for automated reasoning
- Partner with the ML team to shape data and annotation models for AI-driven data-extraction tooling
Qualifications
- 5+ years of experience in embedded systems development, including bare-metal and RTOS-based systems
- Proficiency in C/C++
- Familiarity with firmware configuration, SoC bring-up, and system-level debugging
- Hands-on experience with code generation tools, or low-level compiler/decompiler/emulator technologies
- Strong background in embedded toolchains: compilers, linkers, debuggers, and build systems
- Python or scripting for automation and tooling is a plus
- Experience with functional-safety standards is a plus
Why embedd.it?
- Dynamic, venture-backed team of engineers challenging the status quo 🚀
- Work at the intersection of embedded systems, code generators, compilers, and ML 🤖
- Unusual challenges requiring out-of-the-box abstract thinking 🧠
- Competitive compensation: cash + equity 💰
- Remote work possible 🌍
About Us
embedd.it is a UK-based startup reinventing embedded development. Our platform transforms unstructured semiconductor data into structured digital twins, enabling automatic generation of drivers, tests, and documentation. We're building a single, traceable source of truth to make integration fast, vendor-agnostic, and future-proof.
