Operating System and Virtualization Engineer
Do you love operating systems implementation, digging into the grittyinterface where software meets machine?We are seeking a software engineer to work on ourillumos -based host operating system,Helios and ourRust-based VMM,Propolis .These technologiessit at the center of the Oxide technology stack,interfacing directly with a wide range of hardware, embedded software, andthird-party firmware to support the Oxide control plane and its virtual machineinstances. The host OS is holistically designed to begin execution with theprocessor’s first instruction; it uniquely subsumes and replaces functionalitythat UEFI and ACPI firmware provide in other architectures.The Rust-based VMM is a
de novo
implementation based on thebhyve hypervisor . Work with a helpful and experienced team to design, build, and bring up hostsystem software, in-kernel virtualization, and the user-space VMM on currentand future Oxide computers Read and write code in C (for the operating system writ large), in Rust (forPropolis and for some in-kernel components), and/or microprocessorassembly. All the code you write will be open source. Grow and apply your understanding of microprocessors, through deepfamiliarity with available documentation, interacting directly withreal hardware, and producing your own documents where the vendor’s fallshort Contribute to the security and resiliency of the system by designing forfailure from the ground up Participate in a rigorous code review process and help your colleaguesmaintain our software in a production-ready state at all times Apply a customer-centric view to the development of new end-to-end featuresand functions and help realize them across the stack Contribute to the design of new Oxide hardware and software componentselsewhere in the stack Are familiar with operating systems or virtualization concepts and comfortablein C, Rust, or other low-level systems languages Seek the versatility of working from core OS architecture to hardwareinterface to networking to virtual device development. Enjoy the freedom of blazing your own architectural trails and solvingproblems from first principles Have previously worked in the guts of operating systems or virtualizationtechnologies such as illumos, KVM, Hyper-V, or related systems Are up to the challenge of interfacing with hardware that has missing orinaccurate documentation Appreciate the hard-won thrill of debugging a knotty problem to root cause Believe in fully documenting your ideas for both current colleagues and yourown future self Enjoy reading excellent documentation produced by others Make the tools you wish you had Communicate effectively with engineers across a range of disciplines toexchange knowledge and expertise Helios on the genesis of our illumos derivative as discussed in RFD 26 We are very explicit about our values , and they can be seen in daily life at Oxide, for example: Our rigor means we enjoy and take pride in the craft of engineering. Our urgency means that we are not above the judicious short-cut. Our versatility is reflected in our greatest strength: the breadth of our team. Our transparency can be seen in our consensus-driven RFD process . Our responsibility means that we both lead and follow: we have our own domains, but we also help others on their parts. Our curiosity shows in our insatiable desire to learn – and our empathy in our love of teaching others. Our humor is a big part of our daily lives: we are inveterate wise-crackers whose video meetings spill into simultaneous text chat. Working at Oxide
Remote first
Most of our team are based outside of the Bay Area. We do ask that your workday overlaps with Pacific Time for at least four hours. Our families and lives outside of our jobs are very important to us; our schedules are flexible to reflect and support that. We offer the best medical PPO, dental, and vision plans we can find and cover 100% of premiums for employees and dependents. Everyone at Oxide makes $207,264 USD, regardless of location. (Some sales positions have a lower base salary and contain a commission component.) Applying for: Operating System and Virtualization Engineer Resume Should be a pdf file Upload Materials Please make a copy of this document and follow the instructions.
