Job Title: Senior Staff Engineer, Memory/Network Systems Software
Duration: 6+ months
Location: Role is onsite in San Jose, CA 5 days a week.
Pay range: $65.00 - $75.00 per hour
Work across the full stack: from host memory and device behavior in Linux, to node agents and container runtime interactions, to Kubernetes resource orchestration, controllers, and cluster-level lifecycle management. This is a hands-on systems role for an engineer who is comfortable working across boundaries that are often split between kernel and cloud platform teams.
- Architect and implement end-to-end systems software for advanced platform and memory technologies across Linux and Kubernetes environments.
Design solutions that span: - Linux kernel and host OS integration
- user-space system services and node agents
- container runtime / kubelet interaction points
- Kubernetes APIs, controllers, CRDs, and orchestration workflows
- Develop software for resource discovery, reservation, activation, resize, release, rollback, and reconciliation in clustered environments.
- Build and maintain Kubernetes operators, controllers, and automation services using Go, client-go, controller-runtime, and related frameworks.
- Collaborate with Linux, firmware, and hardware teams to translate low-level platform capabilities into safe, observable, Kubernetes-manageable workflows.
- Work on Linux-side integration for areas such as memory lifecycle, hotplug behavior, NUMA awareness, cgroups, device/resource management, and system telemetry.
- Define interfaces between host software and cluster control-plane components, including state models, failure handling, and recovery behavior.
- Develop node-local software and control-plane services that coordinate host state, platform services, and Kubernetes objects.
- Drive architecture for reconciliation, idempotency, concurrency control, and fault recovery across distributed components.
- Create observability for controller behavior, node readiness, resource lifecycle progress, and failure analysis.
- Partner with internal teams across kernel, systems architecture, firmware, validation, and platform software to bring proof-of-concept software into robust internal infrastructure.
- Support bring-up, debugging, validation, and performance tuning in lab and pre-production environments.
