  • BS or MS degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering or related field (or equivalent experience)
  • 8+ years of relevant industry experience or equivalent academic experience after BS
  • Strong C and C++ programming skills
  • Experience working with large codebases
  • Experience with operating system interfaces for threads, process control, and virtual memory
  • Experience writing and debugging multithreaded programs
  • Understanding of system level architecture, such as interconnects, memory hierarchy, interrupts, and memory-mapped IO
  • Strong interest in system software
  • Knowledge of memory coherence and consistency models
  • Good written communication
