About the Position

In this role, you will take technical responsibility for the development, customization, and hardening of Talos Linux as an Immutable Operating System in a security-critical cloud and infrastructure environment.

A central focus is on implementing secure boot mechanisms, building a TPM-based chain of trust, and securing system integrity through modern measured boot concepts. Furthermore, you will be responsible for configuring and optimizing the PXE/iPXE boot process for automated node provisioning.

You will develop and extend Talos-specific components to map special requirements of the target environment – for example, in the areas of GPU integration, storage connectivity, and hardware-specific optimization. Additionally, you will ensure that the operating system can be hardened and operated securely in accordance with relevant CIS and BSI guidelines.

You will work independently on complex technical issues, actively contribute to architectural and implementation decisions, and ensure that the developed systems are transferred to operations in a stable, interoperable, automatable, and secure manner.
