You will develop, maintain, and optimize components across a full KVM and Kubernetes-based stack, contributing both to internal products and open-source communities. Working within a globally distributed team, you’ll engage with upstream projects, tackle complex performance challenges, and drive innovation at the intersection of cloud-native and virtualization technologies. This role offers an agile, collaborative, and open environment where initiative and technical creativity are strongly valued. Accountabilities Develop, maintain, and enhance virtualization components across the KVM stack (KVM hypervisor, Linux kernel, kubevirt, libvirt, QEMU, libguestfs). Actively contribute to upstream communities, driving feature improvements and technology evolution. Integrate new features into downstream products and contribute to continuous build and release processes. Diagnose and resolve complex software issues, debugging virtualization layers to ensure optimal stability and performance. Design and execute test plans to validate features and benchmark system performance. Collaborate within a global, cross-functional engineering team across multiple time zones, ensuring seamless communication and progress. Work independently on high-level objectives while adapting quickly to evolving technical priorities. Strong proficiency in Go (Golang) and solid experience with Linux environments. Hands-on experience with containers and virtualization technologies (KubeVirt, KVM, libvirt, QEMU). Proven ability to analyze, debug, and resolve software issues in complex systems. Proficiency with Git and standard development workflows. Familiarity with Kubernetes and cloud-native ecosystems is highly advantageous. Experience contributing to open-source projects is a strong plus. Knowledge of multiple CPU architectures and additional programming languages is desirable. Excellent collaboration skills in distributed international teams; fluent in English (written and spoken). Self-driven, adaptable, and motivated to work in a fast-paced, open, and innovative environment. Competitive salary and performance-based rewards. Full flexibility to work remotely across EMEA or in hybrid/onsite models. Opportunities to contribute to major open-source projects and work with globally recognized experts. Supportive and inclusive culture that values transparency, innovation, and professional growth. Global career opportunities and continuous learning programs.
