We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated Linux Security Developer with a deep understanding of Linux internals and embedded security. The ideal candidate will be responsible for designing, developing, and integrating advanced security features into the Linux kernel and user space, contributing to secure system architecture, threat mitigation, and vulnerability management.

This role involves close collaboration with cross-functional teams including Kernel, BSP, and DevOps to ensure end-to-end security coverage across embedded platforms.

Key Responsibilities :

• Design, develop, and integrate security features into the Linux kernel and user space (e.g., SELinux, AppArmor, seccomp, IMA / EVM, dm-verity).
• Implement and manage secure boot, trusted execution environments (TEE) such as OP-TEE, and key management services using TPM and other hardware security modules.
• Analyze and patch known vulnerabilities (CVEs), support vulnerability remediation, and security hardening across systems.
• Conduct threat modeling, risk assessments, and provide input into security architecture design.
• Actively participate in security incident response, root cause analysis, and remediation planning.
• Collaborate closely with Kernel, BSP (Board Support Package), and DevOps teams to embed security best practices into build, CI / CD pipelines, and runtime environments.
