Working at Igalia Open Positions Igalia Coding Experience Kernel Developer Description Igalia’s kernel team works in multiple subsystems in the kernel. Ranging from graphics (DRM) to schedulers, from block layer and file systems to memory management, and all sorts of architecture problems (specially x86, ARM and RISC-V), we’re contributing to many areas and communities within the kernel. We’re seeking people who have experience with the Linux kernel in one or more subsystems, and that appreciate FOSS and its culture. If you have kernel contributions and participate in mailing-lists or bug trackers, and if you’re into remote work, consider applying! We value flexible people who get inspired by working on complex topics and enjoy solving problems on their own. Being able to work in both features and bug fixes is very appreciated. Given the inherent complexity of the kernel and its communities, kernel hackers should also be proficient in English and believe in open communication. Part of the job consists in communicating clearly and effectively on mailing-lists, and writing well-documented and detailed patches.
