About the role
- Ship custom kernel achieving 0.4 μs encrypted syscall latency at 1 B+ TPS
- Implement DAG-based real-time scheduler with zero re-execution overhead
- Embed CKKS/BFV fully homomorphic encryption directly in kernel for encrypted computation
- Build in-kernel zk-proof generation and verification (1–5 ms) for system calls
- Integrate SGX and ARM TrustZone with 1 TB sealed memory and remote attestation
- Deliver kernel-level post-quantum networking stack (Kyber + Dilithium) at <15 μs overhead
- Ship 80 % state compression and deduplication inside the page cache and slab allocator
- Develop kernel bypass and GPU-direct paths for parallel WASM execution
- Harden kernel against side-channel, rowhammer, spectre/meltdown, and fault-injection attacks
- Publish kernel-level FHE and zk-acceleration results at ASPLOS, OSDI, SOSP, USENIX ATC
- Keynote at LinuxCon 2026 on “Sub-Microsecond Encrypted Kernel at Planetary Scale”
Requirements
- 8+ years shipping production Linux kernel patches and custom distributions
- Multiple mainline or large-scale deployments achieving ≥100 M syscalls/sec
- Hands-on FHE or zk-proof acceleration inside the kernel
- Deep expertise in real-time scheduling, memory management, eBPF, and secure enclaves
- Proven track record hardening kernels for bare-metal high-frequency trading or blockchain environments
- Linux kernel maintainer credits or significant upstream contributions (Nice to Have)
- First-author papers at top systems conferences (Nice to Have)
- Patents in encrypted kernels, zk-acceleration, or post-quantum OS (Nice to Have)
Benefits
- Equity in Launch Legends, Autheo, and the WFO Creator Network
- Token allocations in the Autheo blockchain
