The Ksplice group at Oracle develops exciting technology to patch the Linux kernel whilst it is running, eliminating unplanned downtime for systems running Oracle Linux and keeping up-to-date with known security fixes.
We're a distributed team of 12 engineers working to provide rebootless updates for all of our supported kernels, supporting new OS releases and automating our workflow.
We're looking for a systems engineer to help us turn kernel patches into Ksplice rebootless updates, develop our internal tooling used to build updates for the thousands of kernels that we support and improve our client and server for releasing updates to customer machines.
Required skills include:
- Excellent problem solving and debugging skills.
- Expert level C programming.
- Strong experience with a modern scripting language, Python preferred.
- Comfort with Linux systems.
- Experience with the git version control system.
