Lightfleet, a member of the Open Source Alliance, is an emerging early staged growth company that has invented the world's first free-space broadcast optical interconnect.
Simply put, Lightfleet has created a new way for computers to communicate using light instead of wires. Lightfleet's CorowaveTM technology streamlines computer-to-computer communication by empowering computers to directly talk to each other over short distances through the air with broadcast light.
Why is this important?
The biggest technology revolution in the way we work, learn, play, and interact with the world has just begun. The growing tidal wave of demand for digital data is unprecedented and will continue to grow geometrically in size for many years to come.
Lightfleet's breakthrough technology allows our first product, an innovative form factor server, to be 1/3 the size and use 1/3 the electricity of any comparable product . . . while also being significantly faster by unleashing the true potential of parallel computing.
We are looking for an experienced kernel engineer, to take a lead role in designing and implementing and optimizing the device driver stack for Lightfleet's innovative optical interconnect. The successful candidate will have an unequalled opportunity to make an impact on product decisions and direction for a truly state of the art technology.

Responsibilities:
• Developing, releasing, and supporting device drivers and modifications for the Linux Kernel
• Taking ownership of a major functional area and providing technical guidance to other team members
• Working community projects to ensure that patches and fixes that enable the Lightfleet technology are accepted into the mainstream
• Working in a cross-functional setting to define Lightfleet's second generation products
Minimum qualifications:
• Motivated, self-starter
• BS or equivalent experience
• 4 years' experience in Linux kernel development
• Technical leadership and providing guidance to junior engineers
• Very strong in C and shell scripting in bash, Bourne, or Perl
Desired qualifications - at least one of:
