Linux Software Engineer
TLDR
Contribute to cutting-edge Linux kernel and device driver development for high-performance AI hardware, with exposure to RDMA, PCIe, and embedded systems in a hardware-focused team.
At Kandou, 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-efficient. 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.
Kandou’s architecture is not just an incremental improvement — it’s a foundational shift in how AI hardware is built for the future.
We are seeking for a Linux Software Engineer based in Pune, India or remote/hybrid India.
