Operating Systems Engineer

You work close to the operating system, and your job is that the person's computer stays dependable exactly when the agent is busiest and they need it most. Scheduling, memory pressure, and the behaviour of the machine under sustained load are the product here, because an agent that makes your laptop unusable is an agent you turn off.

Apply for this roleAll roles

Open for applications. Starts at: First team.

We are taking applications for this role now and building the pipeline for it. The stage above is when the work itself is expected to begin, which is something you deserve to know before you apply rather than after. It is context, not a gate.

Where

Kirkland GarageUAE Garage

In the office together five days a week, in one of our garages, and remote-friendly around your family, arranged one person at a time. We hire across the United States 🇺🇸, India 🇮🇳 and the UAE 🇦🇪.

The work

What this person actually does

Build process supervision, resource isolation, permissions, storage integration and background execution. Diagnose problems across CPU scheduling, memory pressure and device drivers. Respect the capabilities and restrictions of each supported operating system.

The milestone

What it looks like when it is working

In your first 90 days, ship a supervised local runtime that survives restarts, respects resource budgets and produces useful diagnostics without exposing personal content.

Required

What we would not hire without

  • ▸Strong operating-systems fundamentals: scheduling, memory, I/O, and where they interact
  • ▸Practical systems programming in Rust, C, C++ or comparable
  • ▸You can describe how you debugged a real concurrency, memory or performance problem, in detail
  • ▸Instinct for the machine's behaviour under sustained load rather than in a benchmark

Nice to have

What would be a bonus, not a gate

  • ▸Kernel or driver work
  • ▸macOS or Linux internals specifically
  • ▸Real-time or latency-sensitive systems

Evidence

What would show us you can do it

Bring strong operating-systems fundamentals and practical experience in Rust, C, C++ or comparable systems tools. Show how you debug concurrency, memory or performance problems rather than listing languages.

Evidence, not credentials. We are describing work you can point at, in whatever form it exists.

The exercise

How we would look at it together

Investigate a service that stalls under memory pressure and propose a recovery design that preserves acknowledged work.

The package

What comes with the job

  • ▸Stock options for every full-time teammate, four-year vesting with a one-year cliff
  • ▸Annual performance bonus, or on-target earnings with uncapped commission for customer-facing roles
  • ▸Medical, dental and vision for you and your family, plus life and disability cover, on the highest plan tier available to us
  • ▸A 401(k) with company matching
  • ▸Pay reviewed every year and on promotion, benchmarked to your role and market
  • ▸A budget of AI tokens of your own
  • ▸Gym membership, and retailer discounts redeemed through our benefits app
  • ▸Remote-friendly around your family, arranged one person at a time
  • ▸$1,000 plus $10,000 in equity for a referral we hire who stays a year

Indicative pay ranges by market and level are on the compensation page. Plan numbers are confirmed in your offer letter.
