Ensure optimal integration and performance of umbrelOS on the Umbrel Home. Design and implement system-level enhancements. Conduct rigorous testing and debugging at the kernel level to handle system updates and compatibility issues. We hope you: Can autonomously figure out solutions to engineering challenges Value clear and frequent communication (we do a lot of reading and writing) Enjoy being a generalist and are not tied down to a specific framework or surface area of our codebase Are naturally curious and willing to learn something they don’t have experience in Have good judgement of when to ship: perfect is the enemy of good
