System Software Architect, Linux Kernel and Operating System

You will provide hands-on technical leadership for the Linux kernel and operating-system foundation of our GPU computing platforms. You will define architecture, establish engineering priorities, align cross-functional dependencies, guide major capabilities from early hardware planning through production maturity, and make Linux Operating System releases and roadmap for Bytedance. This is an individual-contributor leadership role: you will lead through technical judgment, design quality, delivery discipline, and mentoring rather than through line-management authority.

We are a systems software team building the foundational software for large-scale GPU computing cluster. We work at the hardware/software boundary across the Linux kernel, accelerators, storage, firmware, and platform validation. We value rigorous engineering, clear interfaces, measurable performance and reliability, and upstream collaboration where appropriate. The team partners closely with hardware, architecture, product, validation, and production engineering groups to move new capabilities from design through dependable deployment.
