Linux & Windows Kernel Developer

FIND YOUR NEXT ROLE TODAY

Kernel Developers specialize in the core of operating systems, focusing on either the Linux or Windows kernel. These professionals are responsible for designing, developing, and maintaining the low-level software that enables hardware and software to communicate efficiently.

Their work is essential to the performance, stability, and security of entire systems.
 
Linux Kernel Developers typically contribute to the open-source kernel, writing and reviewing code, implementing new features, fixing bugs, and collaborating with the global Linux development community. They are often involved in submitting patches, participating in discussions, and ensuring their work adheres to community coding standards.
 
Windows Kernel Developers, on the other hand, focus on Microsoft's proprietary kernel, working on system-level functionality such as memory management, process scheduling, file systems, and device drivers. Their work supports a wide range of Windows-based applications and environments, often requiring close collaboration with internal teams and in-depth knowledge of Windows internals.
