We are seeking a skilled and passionate software engineer to maintain and enhance the Ubuntu bootloader stack, providing fast, reliable, and secure systems on all devices and in the cloud.

The boot process is one of the most critical aspects of any operating system where stability, reliability, and security are paramount. Its efficiency and quality contribute to the overall success of the system from desktop to server and cloud environments. We are expanding our team to focus on this essential function and are looking for individuals with a passion for lower-level technologies from hardware to firmware and Linux itself, involved in an operating system startup. Applicants should be comfortable working with Secure Boot, Measured Boot, Full Disk Encryption, and other technologies used during the modern operating system boot process.

  • Collaborate proactively with a distributed team to define and shape the boot architecture of the system.
  • Work with teams focused on various aspects of the system, including server, desktop, IoT, and cloud environments.
  • Write high-quality code to create new features and contribute upstream.
  • Contribute to feature and bug fixes in projects including Grub, shim, u-boot, and associated tools.
  • Debug issues and produce high-quality fixes.
  • Review code produced by other engineers.

Valued Skills and Qualifications:
  • Development experience with early boot software like TF-A, OP-TEE, U-Boot, shim, GRUB, or the Linux kernel.
  • Experience on non-x86 platforms such as ARM, RISC-V.
  • A love of technology and working with brilliant people.
  • Motivated, curious, flexible, articulate, and accountable.
  • A long-time Linux user with broad interests in the future of Linux.
  • Experience or interest in learning how to package software for Debian and Ubuntu.
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, STEM, or similar field.

What We Offer:
