Systems engineering role focused on virtualization strategy and the interoperability of Windows Guest Operating Systems within the Kernel-based Virtual Machine stack.
Responsibilities
- Design, develop, and maintain high-performance Windows kernel-mode drivers (WDM/KMDF) specifically for virtualized environments.
- Optimize the Windows-on-KVM stack by implementing 'enlightenments' and specialized drivers (e.g., VirtIO) to reduce hypervisor overhead.
- Debug complex, low-level interactions between the Windows kernel, the virtual hardware abstraction layer, and the KVM/QEMU host.
- Build and maintain internal diagnostic tools to monitor driver health and performance
- Work closely with Linux Kernel/KVM specialists to align host-side features with guest-side driver requirements.
