A background in large, high-pressure environments — someone who understands the weight of financial services infrastructure

Why join us

High standards. Real scale. You'll work alongside engineers who are excellent at what they do — and you'll be the person they turn to for Linux. There's room here to go deep, build things that last, and put your mark on infrastructure that millions of people depend on every day.
If you come from banking, financial services, or another always-on, high-stakes environment — you'll feel right at home.
