  • Hands-on experience with KVM, plus Firecracker, Cloud Hypervisor, or QEMU
  • Deep understanding of Linux internals: namespaces, cgroups, memory management, and the boot path
  • Experience building cloud infrastructure as the provider (multi-tenant compute that customers run on), not only running workloads on a cloud provider
  • Experience building multi-tenant infrastructure where isolation is a security boundary
  • Strong systems programming background in Rust and/or Go; C/C++ also welcome
