We are an agency based in Germany that helps clients building digital products and services, and bringing them to market. We unify the most essential components of product development - code, design and strategy - in one team while working on the bleeding edge of technology.

📋 Description

• You will be working with our systems and security team on various customer projects. • The team size ranges between 2 to 5 engineers on one project. • You will design, harden and ship Linux-based system software - from kernel and userspace components to secure boot chains, TPM integration and attestation - always aligned (and upstreamed back) with/into the community. • Your mission is to shape the security of this ecosystem with us and break the ties to the proprietary world. 9elements and you have one mission: Change how we build secure systems and make open-source the standard for trustworthy computing.

🎯 Requirements

• (Embedded) Linux is your home turf - You're comfortable building, debugging and shipping Linux systems, from the kernel down to drivers and up through userspace, and you're not afraid to read source code (or write it). • You care about security - You think about threat models, attack surfaces and trust boundaries, and you want to make systems that are secure by design instead of secure by hope. • Being able to deep dive into technical issues - You love code and love debugging issues down to the core (which can be hardware - sometimes). • You're fluent in English - English is our business language, internal and external and you should be able to communicate with it. • You like working with Open-Source - sounds obvious but working with the open-source communities can be challenging sometimes. You have to be able to find the best possible solutions for our customers and the community. • Be engaged - At 9elements we help each other. Our mission is big: We transform the firmware industry - it takes dedication and team effort to tear down this ecosystem and build it up from scratch again. • Assets - Linux Kernel Development - Hypervisor experience - You've worked with KVM, Xen, or smaller research hypervisors and understand virtualization from the bare metal up? We'd love to hear from you. • Hands-on experience with TPMs, secure boot, measured boot or remote attestation. • Yocto, Buildroot or custom distro experience for embedded targets. • Low-level languages are your friends - C is a given, Rust is a plus.

🏖️ Benefits

• Regularly visit industry conferences like OCP EMEA/Global Summit/Linux Plumbers or others • Be part of our own conference - the Open-Source Firmware Conference (https://www.osfc.io) • Choose your platform: Lenovo or Framework? We got you! You want to run Arch? Sure thing. Choose your platform where you can work best. • Full Remote: We are headquartered in Germany and all the hardware is in our labs here. You can be around the world - we enable you to fully develop remotely. • Your schedule: We need your work time to overlap a couple of hours with the German work time. Other than that - shape your work time as you need it to be as long as you get the job done.
