Remote Linux Kernel Developer information

What is a remote Linux kernel developer?

Remote Linux Kernel Developers are software engineers who specialize in developing, maintaining, and improving the Linux kernel while working from a location outside of a traditional office. Their work often involves writing, debugging, and optimizing kernel code, collaborating with open-source communities, and ensuring system stability and performance. These developers typically possess deep knowledge of C programming, operating system concepts, and hardware interfaces. Working remotely, they use various collaboration tools to contribute to projects and communicate with team members globally.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a remote Linux kernel developer?

To thrive as a Remote Linux Kernel Developer, you need a deep understanding of C programming, operating system concepts, and kernel architecture, often supported by a degree in computer science or related experience. Familiarity with Git, Linux kernel build systems, debugging tools like GDB, and contributing to open-source repositories is typically required. Strong problem-solving abilities, clear written communication, and self-motivation are essential soft skills for remote collaboration and troubleshooting. These skills ensure the ability to develop, maintain, and optimize kernel code effectively while working independently within distributed teams.

What are some common challenges faced by remote Linux kernel developers when collaborating with distributed teams?

Remote Linux Kernel Developers often work with globally distributed teams, which can present challenges such as coordinating across time zones, maintaining clear communication, and ensuring code consistency. Effective collaboration typically relies on asynchronous communication tools, thorough code documentation, and participation in regular virtual meetings or code reviews. Developing strong self-management skills and familiarity with collaborative platforms like Git and mailing lists is essential to staying aligned with the team's goals and maintaining productivity.

About the Role

The Software and AI (SAI) organization is seeking a highly skilled software engineer to contribute to the development and low-level optimization ofoneDNN, a complex, cross-platform, open-source performance library that serves as the foundation for deep learning applications (github.com/uxlfoundation/oneDNN).
Please Note:This is a low-level software engineering and hardware-acceleration role. It does not involve building, training, or tuning machine learning models. Instead, you will focus on developing highly optimized math primitives, parallel algorithms, and GPU kernels that power industry-leading AI frameworks (such as OpenVINO, TensorFlow, PyTorch, and ONNX Runtime) on Intel hardware.
Key Responsibilities
Kernel Development and Architecture
  • Develop high-performance GEMM, convolution, and attention kernels for AI workloads
  • Design scalable JIT and codegen infrastructure for GPU kernel generation
Low-Level Optimization
  • Implement fusion and memory-traffic optimizations to maximize hardware utilization
  • Optimize mixed-precision and quantized execution paths (e.g., BF16, FP16, INT8, FP8, FP4, etc.)
Performance Modeling and Profiling
  • Build analytical and empirical performance models for kernel dispatch and tuning
  • Profile and eliminate performance bottlenecks across oneDNN GPU primitives and runtime paths
Hardware and Software Co-Design
  • Co-design GPU primitives and kernel architectures for next-generation Intel GPUs
  • Partner with hardware and compiler teams to shape future accelerator capabilities and software stacks
Infrastructure and Validation
  • Improve validation, benchmarking, and CI infrastructure for performance-critical GPU workloads
Why Join Us
Massive Scale
  • Work on a global, high-impact open-source library that scales AI performance across millions of devices worldwide
Cutting-Edge Hardware
  • Get early access to and influence the software stack for Intel's roadmap of next-generation discrete GPUs
Expert Collaboration
  • Work alongside industry-leading experts in GPU compilers, hardware architecture, and performance libraries
Total Rewards
  • Enjoy a competitive package including stock programs, quarterly bonuses, robust healthcare, and highly flexible hybrid/remote working options
What We're Looking For
To be successful in this role, you should demonstrate the following professional traits:
  • A strong ownership mindset - you take initiative on complex, ambiguous technical problems and drive them to resolution
  • A collaborative approach - you work effectively across hardware, compiler, and framework teams to align on shared technical goals
  • A performance-driven curiosity - you are motivated by squeezing every cycle out of hardware and continuously seek deeper understanding of low-level systems
Qualifications:
Minimum Qualifications
  • Education:BSc, MSc, or PhD in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Mathematics, Physics, or a highly technical related field
  • Core Language:5+ years of professional software development experience with expert-level modern C++
  • Performance Optimizations:2+ years of hands-on experience in programming and kernel optimization on GPUs (via SYCL/DPC++, OpenCL, CUDA, or HIP), or at least 5+ years of similar low-level performance optimization experience on CPUs
  • Hardware Architecture:Strong foundations in computer architecture, cache hierarchies, memory subsystems, and parallel programming paradigms (e.g., multi-threading, SIMD/vectorization)
Preferred Qualifications
  • Math Libraries:Experience developing high-performance math libraries (e.g., GEMM, convolution, reduction, or FFT kernels)
  • Low-Level Tuning:Hands-on experience with GPU assembly-level tuning or compiler optimization
  • Parallel APIs:Familiarity with parallel programming APIs such as OpenMP or oneTBB
  • AI Workload Context:Basic understanding of deep learning primitives (e.g., forward/backward passes) to understand how library code is utilized by upstream frameworks
Job Type:Experienced HireShift:Shift 1 (United States of America)Primary Location: US, Oregon, HillsboroAdditional Locations:US, California, Santa ClaraPosting Statement:All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, religious creed, sex, national origin, ancestry, age, physical or mental disability, medical condition, genetic information, military and veteran status, marital status, pregnancy, gender, gender expression, gender identity, sexual orientation, or any other characteristic protected by local law, regulation, or ordinance.Position of TrustN/ABenefits
