Linux Kernel Consultant (Remote/Anywhere)

About this role

Collabora is looking for a Linux Kernel Consultant to work remotely. The role involves developing kernel code that runs on billions of devices, contributing to upstream Linux development, and collaborating with client engineering teams to tackle challenging kernel problems while promoting upstream-first approaches. It is suited to engineers who want to deepen their subsystems expertise, build an upstream profile, and grow into technical leadership. The work blends technical kernel work with advisory, consulting duties and is fully remote with optional travel for conferences. Preference is given to applicants in EU or East Coast US hours.
