Senior Linux Architect
Location: Augsburg, Germany – Hybrid

A role that inspires you

You’ll play a key part in shaping a next-generation Linux operating system used by organisations worldwide. In this hands-on engineering role, you’ll contribute to the full development lifecycle - from architecture and design to implementation and optimisation - helping to build a secure, high-performance platform that powers innovative end-user computing experiences.

This is an opportunity to join a highly collaborative environment where technical curiosity, creative problem-solving, and precision engineering come together to create real impact.

What you’ll be doing

You will:
• Plan, design, and develop core components of a modern Linux-based operating system.
• Drive architectural decisions and ensure product quality, maintainability, and system reliability.
• Contribute to software design discussions and initiate improvements through refactoring and redesign.
• Develop, integrate, and test OS modules in specialised areas such as kernel, display, audio, hardware, or multimedia.
• Strengthen OS system security and ensure compliance with best practices.
• Translate customer requirements into robust technical solutions.
• Collaborate closely with engineers across multiple disciplines to deliver outstanding results.

Your expertise will directly influence how organisations experience and secure Linux-based technologies in their daily operations.

What you bring

You’re an experienced Linux developer who enjoys tackling complex challenges and working within an agile, forward-thinking team.
• Degree in Computer Science, Mathematics, Electrical Engineering, or comparable technical training.
• 7+ years of professional experience in Linux system development.
• Strong understanding of Linux architecture and subsystems.
• Proficiency in C/C++, Python, and Bash.
• Advanced skills in at least one specialised area (e.g., base system, kernel, hardware support, display, audio, bootloader, or window manager).
• A structured approach to problem-solving and the ability to work independently on complex topics.
• A mindset that values collaboration, innovation, and continuous learning.

What’s on offer

• Hybrid working options with a base in Augsburg.
• The chance to work on a product used globally, influencing the evolution of secure Linux computing.
• A supportive culture where ideas are valued, and personal growth is encouraged.
• Long-term stability with the energy of a dynamic engineering environment.

Join a team where your technical expertise drives innovation — and where the systems you build empower people every day.
