Senior Staff Linux Kernel Engineer – Linux CXL Kernel, PCIe drivers

Location: Greater Bengaluru Area (Hybrid)/ Greater Hyderabad

we are redefining the economics of AI infrastructure. Our mission is to democratise AI by significantly reducing the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) of hardware systems — a critical barrier to scalable adoption.

Our proprietary MIMO-over-copper technology powers a high-performance, chiplet-based AI memory fabric that is both scalable and energy-effective. Unlike traditional interconnects, our solution reduces power consumption significantly while preserving high bandwidth and ultra-low latency — unlocking unprecedented efficiency for AI training and inference at scale.

our architecture is not just an incremental improvement — it’s a foundational shift in how AI hardware is built for the future.
