🖥️ Remote Systems Software Engineer

🌐 Build the Future of Infrastructure From Anywhere

Are you passionate about creating the core software that powers modern computing? As a Remote Systems Software Engineer, you’ll design and implement robust, scalable, and secure systems software that forms the backbone of next-generation applications. We’re looking for someone who values inclusion, thrives in collaborative environments, and is ready to contribute to impactful infrastructure used globally.

🧭 What You’ll Be Doing

In this role, you’ll develop foundational software for operating systems, cloud platforms, and large-scale distributed environments. Your work will ensure stability, performance, and resilience for diverse technology stacks across various industries.

🔧 Key Responsibilities

• Design, build, and maintain low-level systems software, including operating systems components, filesystems, or networking stacks
• Develop efficient and reliable code for performance-critical applications
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to design infrastructure tools and improve system observability
• Analyze and resolve complex issues involving concurrency, memory management, and I/O systems
• Participate in architecture reviews and provide insights on scalability and performance
• Write clear documentation and share knowledge across a global engineering team

🤝 A Culture of Belonging

We believe that every individual brings unique strengths to the team. Our culture fosters collaboration, respect, and a sense of belonging. We’re proud to be an equal opportunity employer where inclusion isn’t a policy—it’s a way of life. Your contributions matter whether you're working from a remote cabin or a city apartment.

🧑‍🤝‍🧑 Our People, Our Stories

Our engineering team includes individuals transitioning from teaching, military service, and marine biology. One teammate, who began as a support technician in a rural town, now leads our Linux kernel initiatives from home while raising two kids. Stories like this reflect our commitment to growth, inclusion, and providing the support needed for you to thrive.

🛠️ Tools and Technologies

💻 Technologies You’ll Work With

• C, C++, and Rust for systems-level programming
• Linux kernel and custom OS tooling
• Containerization technologies (Docker, Kubernetes)
• Virtualization platforms and hypervisors (QEMU, KVM)
• Performance profiling tools (perf, BPF, Valgrind)
• Distributed systems debugging frameworks
• CI/CD pipelines for automated deployment and testing

🏡 Work Environment

This fully remote role offers flexibility to work from your chosen environment while remaining deeply connected with a high-performing and diverse team. We conduct regular virtual stand-ups, code jams, and asynchronous brainstorming sessions that make collaboration efficient and energizing.

🌱 Engineering Culture

Our engineering culture is built on trust. Autonomy doesn’t mean isolation—we provide mentorship, frequent feedback loops, and a space where psychological safety is prioritized. You'll fit right in if you believe in building quality software without sacrificing balance.

🧑‍💻 Candidate Profile

We’re looking for well-rounded individuals from a variety of backgrounds. We encourage you to apply if you don’t meet every requirement but feel excited about the role. Passion and potential often outweigh checkboxes.

✅ Required Qualifications

• 3+ years of experience in systems software engineering or equivalent experience
• Proficiency in at least one systems language (C, C++, or Rust)
• Deep understanding of operating systems concepts such as process scheduling, memory management, and I/O
• Experience with debugging low-level software in live environments
• Clear, concise communication skills and a team-first mindset

⭐ Preferred Qualifications

• Experience contributing to open-source systems projects
• Background in building tools for security, observability, or infrastructure management
• Familiarity with cross-platform development and architecture-specific challenges

🌍 Our Commitment to Diversity

We thrive because of our diverse team, not despite it. From neurodivergent developers to career-switching parents, we’ve built a culture that celebrates differences. Our employee resource groups, inclusive hiring practices, and flexible benefits reflect our dedication to fairness and equity at every stage of your journey.

💵 Compensation and Benefits
