About the role

As a Linux Application Engineer at Hellbender, you will bridge the gap between high-level application software and the underlying Linux operating system.
System Troubleshooting: Investigate and diagnose complex issues occurring at the interface between user-space applications and the Linux kernel (e.g., analyzing interrupts, memory leaks, or I/O bottlenecks).
System Configuration: Configure Linux environments, including boot parameters, systemd services, networking stacks, and resource management (cgroups/namespaces).

Application Development: Design, develop, and maintain high-performance applications and services using C, C++ and Python within a Linux environment.
Driver Investigation: Identify and document driver-level bugs or regressions; work closely with hardware/kernel teams to provide reproducible test cases and logs for driver remediation.
Observability & Logging: Implement, manage, and support robust logging frameworks to ensure high-quality telemetry and data collection from the field/test-bench.
Design, develop, and maintain high-performance applications and services using C, C++ and Python within a Linux environment.

C/C++ Proficiency: Strong experience in professional C/C++ development, including memory management, multi-threading, and concurrency primitives.
Linux Systems Expertise: Deep understanding of the Linux user-space, including system calls, signals, IPC (Inter-Process Communication), and the Linux filesystem hierarchy.
Advanced Debugging Skills: Proficiency with Linux debugging tools.
System Configuration: Hands-on experience configuring Linux subsystems (networking, storage, permissions) and managing system initialization (e.g., systemd).
Strong experience in professional C/C++ development, including memory management, multi-threading, and concurrency primitives.
Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field.
5-7 years of experience in Linux-based software engineering or systems programming.

Rust Programming: Familiarity with Rust and its integration within a Linux environment is a significant plus.
Embedded Linux Knowledge: Experience with Yocto Project, Buildroot, or custom kernel configuration.
Data Pipeline Experience: Experience managing large-scale logging data (e.g., ELK stack, Prometheus, or custom telemetry pipelines).
Containerization: Experience with Docker or Podman for application isolation and deployment.
ROS 2: Familiarity with the ROS ecosystem is also helpful.
Familiarity with Rust and its integration within a Linux environment is a significant plus.

Proficiency with Linux debugging tools.
Scripting & Automation: Proficiency in Bash or Python for automating system tasks, data processing, and log analysis.
Version Control: Experience with Git and modern CI/CD workflows
