Linux kernel engineer

Overview

Client is seeking a senior-level Linux Kernel Engineer to design and implement a kernel-level offload solution in a secure, high-performance Linux environment. This role will focus on intercepting VFS read/write operations, pinning user memory pages, building scatter-gather DMA tables, and offloading data to a cryptographic accelerator such as a hardware engine or user-space process. The engineer will work closely with hardware, security, and software teams to deliver a stable and compliant solution that meets strict coding, security, and regulatory standards.

Core Responsibilities

• Design, develop, build, and debug Linux kernel modules in C


• Implement kernel-level solutions that intercept VFS read/write operations


• Pin user memory pages and manage memory cleanup safely and efficiently


• Build and manage scatter-gather DMA tables for secure data offload


• Integrate with cryptogr...
