Linux Engineer – Shape the Future with Code

KerrOS: The Newest Star in Our Innovative Family 🌟

KerrOS is the latest addition to our pioneering group of companies. As the team behind ventures like Loopia, Pingdom, and Dooer, we’re proud to introduce KerrOS as the brightest new member of our family. Join us on this exciting journey as we build the 6th and missing operating system—the WebOS.

Are you ready to write the next chapter of operating systems? At KerrOS, we’re on a mission to build the 6th and missing operating system—the WebOS. We’re not just a company; we’re a movement aiming to change how operating systems and the web work, and we need your passion and skills to make it happen.

Why the 6th Operating System? Today, SaaS and modern web applications are built as if someone were setting up a new Linux distro each time. We believe the starting point should be on top of the existing operating systems—we are fully Linux-based but add the web layer; underneath, we are all Linux. As a bonus, we’ll also be able to run natively on Windows and Mac, creating a seamless world where no SaaS becomes an island again. Everything is just files and can be created and edited on any computer—including on the web.

Come and join us—we’re having a blast every day (not just saying that; this is one of the most fun moments we’ve had in our careers, and we’ve done a lot of amazing things before as a team).

About You – The Linux Enthusiast We’re Looking For 🌟

Curious Explorer: You can’t help yourself from trying out new Linux distros. You love discovering what the teams behind them aimed to solve. You analyze these explorations and form your own insights. You’re not just interested in Linux—you live it.

Prototype Pioneer: Your GitHub is a playground of ideas. You’ve started and completed many projects—not all polished—but each one shows your drive and passion. You learn by doing, always building and improving. If this sounds like you, then you’ll fit right into our startup where we iterate at a fast pace and are looking for a new colleague similar to us.

Simplicity Seeker: When things get complicated, you find the simple path. You spot patterns and make complex systems easier to understand. You love standards and follow them, knowing not to reinvent the wheel but to build on top of standards and set conventions.

Initiative Taker: You don’t just dream—you do. You turn ideas into reality with code. Your projects might be rough around the edges, but they work, showing that you can make things happen.

AI Enthusiast: You use AI tools every day, not just as buzzwords or chat, but as key parts of your work. You’re curious about how AI models work and use this knowledge to boost your productivity and creativity. AI has truly made you a 10x version of your former self, and like us, you’re daily amazed at how fast one can learn, build, and do things now that AI is here to help—and how, for the first time in history, one person can run circles around large teams, building amazing things. Let’s not build large teams; let’s build amazing things.

Team Player with Drive: You work well with others but also like to dive deep into your own projects. Your passion drives your work, and you’re eager to make a real impact.

Your Role – Let’s Reshape the Web Together 🛠️

Develop KerrOS: Help build the WebOS that will revolutionize how web applications are developed and used, bringing the simplicity and interoperability of traditional operating systems to the web. By contributing to KerrOS, you’ll be at the forefront of a paradigm shift in technology.
Standardize, Don’t Duplicate: Reduce repetition in web development by creating a standardized operating system layer for others to build on. Enable developers worldwide to focus on innovation rather than re-creating foundational components. We’re tackling inefficiencies head-on, empowering the developer community.
Integrate AI Capabilities: Bring AI into the operating system to improve how it works and feels for users, making AI an integral and seamless part of the experience. We believe AI should be accessible and deeply embedded, enhancing every aspect of user interaction.
Collaborate and Innovate: Work closely with a team of passionate developers, sharing knowledge and pushing the boundaries of what’s possible. At KerrOS, every idea counts, and innovation is our everyday practice.

Your Quest – Innovate, Integrate, Inspire 🔍

Own Your Projects: From day one, you’ll be in charge of your work, developing and maintaining services, products, and modules that are key to KerrOS.
Push Boundaries: Join a team that’s not afraid to challenge the norm, bringing fresh ideas to transform the tech world.
Write Clean Code: Create well-documented, efficient code that stands the test of time and sets an example for others, all while adhering to the standards that make interoperability possible.

Your Path Forward – Skills and Growth ⚙️

Passionate Portfolio: Your GitHub or personal projects show your ability and enthusiasm. We’re excited to see what you’ve built and how you’ve learned and grown.
Work Smart and Hard: This is our life—we are a startup. We don’t feel like we’re working because this is what we do. We believe that you, like us, should be at a point in life where you have the time and passion to give to this mission. Right now, we’re not looking for colleagues who check in and out from 9 to 5. We find it so fun and rewarding that we can’t leave it, and we know this isn’t for everyone. But we want to build an OS that everyone looks up to and that moves and iterates fast. When it stabilizes, we plan to build teams that are more of the normal job kind—but that’s not today.
Technical Foundations: You have a solid understanding of Linux systems, with experience in languages like Rust, C, or Node.js. We’re all about schemas, so being a JSON and data guru just makes it even better.
Eager Learner: You’re always ready to pick up new technologies, adding to your skills and pushing yourself further.

What We Offer – More Than Just a Job 🎁

Mission with Meaning: Be part of something big. Your work will help shape the future of the web by building the missing operating system that unifies and simplifies the web experience.
Growth Opportunities: Whether you’re starting your career or are an experienced professional, KerrOS is a place to grow and hone your skills.
Empowering Environment: We believe in giving our team members the power to take charge of their work. You’ll have the space and support to create innovative solutions.
Collaborative Culture: Join a team where everyone’s input is valued, and we learn from each other every day.
Having Fun Together: Come and join us—we’re having a blast every day (not just saying that; this is one of the most fun moments we’ve had in our careers, and we’ve done a lot of amazing things as a team).
