Help us design the world’s first Linux distribution purpose-built for AI Agents.
We are building the world’s first Linux distribution purpose-built for AI Agents.
As our Founding Linux Engineer, you will design a new execution layer — combining kernel extensions, WASM runtimes, and semantic system primitives — to cut agent execution cost down to 10%.
This is not infrastructure maintenance. This is operating system design that will define how AI Workforces run globally.
About the Role
As a Founding Linux Engineer, you’ll be responsible for:
- Designing and maintaining a Linux distribution optimized for AI-native workloads
- Developing a kernel-level Agent Execution Extension Layer to make LLM + agent runtime efficient and secure
- Integrating low-level systems (dbus, eBPF, gProc, process orchestration) for multi-agent scheduling
- Embedding WASM runtimes (Wasmtime, Wasmer, or custom) into the OS for lightweight sandbox execution
- Building core modules in Rust and C for reliability and performance
- Working closely with the Founding Product Engineer to align OS architecture with SaaS automation and LLM pipelines
- Collaborating with CEO/CTO on long-term OS vision for AI-native infrastructure
Requirements
- Deep experience in Linux internals (kernel, OS architecture, distros, packaging, security)
- Proficiency in Rust and C, with ability to build low-level system components
- Familiarity with dbus, eBPF, gProc, or equivalent OS-level orchestration tools
- Knowledge of Nix/NixOS or reproducible build systems
- Hands-on experience with WASM runtimes and sandbox execution environments
- Understanding of LLM workloads and performance tuning for AI-native systems
- Proven ability to work independently in a remote-first, early-stage startup environment
Nice to Have
- Experience with formal languages (e.g. HRG/DAG, HoTT, session types)
- Contributions to open-source Linux, WASM, or systems projects
- Background in distributed systems or agent orchestration platforms
- Familiarity with semantic architectures and AI-native OS design principles
Benefits
- Competitive salary: NT$1.2M – 2.2M / year + founding-level equity
- Direct authorship in the first AI-native Linux distribution
- Opportunity to co-draft future standards (ISO, W3C, EU AI Act technical frameworks)
- Visa opportunities: Taiwan work visa / Gold Card, Europe startup visa (Portugal — covers core team members), Japan — potential work visa opportunities depending on future company setup
- Publish, present, and gain global credit for semantic AI OS research and standards work
- Direct impact: your code will run for real paying customers from Day 0
