About this role

We are seeking a talented Linux Developer with a strong background in CI/CD and a passion for enhancing software development processes. In this role, you will be responsible for building, testing, and deploying software across multiple Linux distributions, ensuring seamless integration and continuous delivery pipelines.

If you have extensive experience in Linux development, enjoy working with automation tools, and want to help streamline software delivery workflows, we would love to have you join our team!

Responsibilities

  • Build, maintain, and optimize software solutions for Linux systems. You will work on Adaptiva's platform and its features, system utilities, and backend services that need to run efficiently across different Linux distributions.
  • Set up, maintain, and optimize CI/CD pipelines for Linux-based software development using tools like Jenkins, GitHub Actions, or GitLab CI.
  • Automate the build, test, and deployment processes for software running on Linux.
  • Ensure compatibility and smooth functionality across multiple Linux versions (e.g., Ubuntu, CentOS, Fedora, Debian). Manage builds for different architectures (e.g., x86, ARM) and ensure that the software works on modern Linux environments.
  • Automate the building and testing of Linux applications using tools like CMake, and Docker. Implement and maintain unit tests, integration tests, and end-to-end testing frameworks within the CI pipeline.
  • Automate the creation of software packages (e.g., DEB, RPM) for easy installation across various Linux distributions and ensure compatibility with package managers like APT and YUM.
  • Leverage your deep knowledge of Linux internals to troubleshoot, optimize, and improve the performance of applications and services. You will handle issues related to system performance, memory management, file systems, and networking.
  • Work closely with other developers, testers, and operations teams to ensure smooth integration and deployment of software. Collaborate to implement and enforce best practices for coding, testing, and deployment in a Linux-based environment.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's or Master’s Degree in Computer Science or a related field.
  • At least 5 years of hands-on experience in Linux software development and working with Linux distributions such as Ubuntu, CentOS, Debian, or Red Hat.
  • Expertise in C/C++ for system-level programming and experience with Bash or Python for scripting tasks like automation, deployment, and testing.
  • Strong understanding of asynchronous programming and concurrency in Linux, particularly for building high-performance applications and services.
  • Deep knowledge of the Linux kernel, system libraries, and low-level programming. You should be comfortable with Linux tools and commands and have experience troubleshooting kernel-level or system-level issues.
  • Hands-on experience with CI/CD pipelines using tools like Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or CircleCI, automating the build, testing and deployment of Linux applications.
  • Experience with package management on Linux systems (e.g., creating DEB and RPM packages) and automating the creation of software packages for easy distribution and installation via package managers.
  • Familiarity with Git and other version control systems, as well as dependency management tools like Maven, Gradle, Conan, or vcpkg for C++ libraries.
  • Experience in handling cross-architecture builds (e.g., x86 vs ARM) and ensuring software runs on multiple Linux distributions and versions.
  • Experience with Docker and Kubernetes for building, deploying, and managing Linux-based applications in containers.
  • Familiarity with deploying Linux-based software on cloud platforms e.g. AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud.
