Description For Senior Linux Kernel Developer

Oracle is seeking a Senior Linux Kernel Developer to join their team working on kernel support for new hardware platforms, including smartNIC platforms. This is a development role, not a systems engineer/admin position, requiring deep expertise in Linux kernel development and embedded systems.

The role involves critical responsibilities such as backporting kernel patches, analyzing and debugging software/hardware problems, implementing bug fixes and new features in the Linux kernel, and conducting stress and performance testing of new hardware platforms. As a senior developer, you'll provide technical leadership to other software developers and contribute to the architecture of existing systems.

The ideal candidate should have 3-5+ years of experience with strong backgrounds in Linux kernel development, kernel panic analysis, embedded systems, and assembly language programming. This position offers an opportunity to work with cutting-edge hardware platforms while contributing to Oracle's cloud infrastructure.

Oracle offers a comprehensive benefits package including medical, dental, and vision insurance, 401(k) with company match, flexible vacation, paid parental leave, and stock purchase plans. The salary range is $79,000 to $178,100 per annum, with potential for bonus and equity.

As part of Oracle's software engineering division, you'll be working with a world leader in cloud solutions, contributing to technology that tackles today's challenges. Oracle maintains a culture of innovation and inclusion, promoting opportunities for all while supporting work-life balance.

The position is based in Broomfield, CO, and requires strong English language skills. Oracle is an Equal Employment Opportunity Employer and welcomes applications from all backgrounds, including people with disabilities and protected veterans.
