System Software Engineer, Consumer Products
About The Position
We build foundational platform software that enables reliable, secure, and performant products. The team works across system layers and partners closely with adjacent engineering groups to deliver robust capabilities from concept through launch. We’re seeking a Systems Software Engineer to design, implement, and debug core platform components and the pipelines that build and update system images. You’ll work across operating system layers, focusing on performance, security, and deep system debugging to ship production‑grade systems.
Requirements
- Have shipped production systems software on modern operating systems.
- Are proficient in C/C++ and a scripting language, and comfortable with OS internals (concurrency, memory management, filesystems, networking, power management).
- Bring strong systems debugging skills using debuggers, tracers, profilers, and logs across kernel/user‑space boundaries.
- Understand configuration of platform services and interfaces, and can translate requirements into stable, well-documented APIs.
- Are fluent in user‑space foundations (service management, IPC, networking, packaging, automation).
Nice To Haves
- Exposure to platform security (secure boot, sandboxing, mandatory access controls, attestation).
- Experience with graphics/media, hardware acceleration, or high‑throughput data paths.
- Familiarity with connectivity stacks and network configuration.
- Observability and diagnostics in distributed or resource‑constrained environments.
- Work on open‑source platforms or contributions to systems projects.
Responsibilities
- Design, implement, and debug system‑level components and services across kernel and user space.
- Configure and maintain OS platform services (init, services, networking, security policies) and related tooling.
- Build and operate image and update pipelines, ensuring reliability, reproducibility, and rollback safety.
- Instrument and analyze performance using profiling and tracing; optimize CPU, memory, I/O, and power usage.
- Own platform observability and reliability: logging, crash capture, watchdogs, and diagnostics.
- Collaborate with cross‑functional teams to define interfaces and deliver end-to-end features.
- Establish strong engineering practices: code review, CI, reproducible builds, and release management.
- Partner with external suppliers to support builds and deployments.
