  • Optimize KVM performance for various workloads and ensure efficient resource utilization.

  • Work closely with cloud architects, DevOps, and infrastructure teams to integrate KVM with other cloud components (networking, storage, orchestration).

  • Develop APIs and automation tools for VM provisioning, lifecycle management, and monitoring.

  • Troubleshoot complex virtualization issues, analyze root causes, and implement solutions.

  • Contribute to infrastructure as code (IaC) practices to automate deployment and scaling of virtual environments.

  • To understand REST APIs and general API design.

  • English language proficiency.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • 5+ years of software engineering experience.

  • 3+ years of KVM engineering experience

  • Strong proficiency in Go (Golang) with experience building high-performance, scalable systems.

  • Deep understanding of virtualization concepts, hypervisors, and kernel modules.

  • Experience with libvirt, qemu-img, virtio drivers, and virtualization APIs.

  • Knowledge of Linux kernel internals, process management, and resource isolation (cgroups, namespaces).

  • Familiarity with networking technologies related to virtualization (bridging, VLANs, SDN, OVS).

  • Hands-on experience with storage systems used in virtualized environments (Ceph, iSCSI, NFS).

  • Strong understanding of cloud infrastructure components such as compute, networking, and storage.

  • Experience with containerization (Docker, Kubernetes) is a plus.

  • Experience working with remote teams.
