Software Development Engineer - OS Internals

About You

You have an obsession for getting to the bottom of things. You dive into the operating system's kernel just to explore its facets. You write drivers to make your devices not just function, but dance. You reverse-engineer software and sometimes hardware, and bend them to your will. You have used assembly to violate the laws of physics.  Ten milliseconds seems like a lifetime to you. You hack into weak points in technology in order to find useful mechanisms to exploit for your own needs.  You understand how applications communicate with each other, and have inserted yourself in between just to see what the latest news is. In your world, you don’t use named pipes, you name them.  You can read the minds of other developers and can predict their software designs to make it faster for you to manipulate and ultimately make their applications puppets in your puppet show. You think in the box, out of the box, sideways, backwards, forwards, upwards and even upside down. You know operating systems. When feeling ill you don’t go into the doctor’s office, you just email them your SysLog. You really know operating systems. You absolutely know operating systems. Operating systems know you. You are one of us.
