We are focused on systems engineering and architectures. Build the future of trusted operating systems with us!
Kernkonzept develops trusted operating systems for safe and secure applications, connected devices, and automotive applications. Our open-source L4Re Operating System Framework powers government laptops, home appliances, secure networking gear, and home gateways, and in the future also cars, servers, sensors, and robots.
Our team has grown from a small start-up to a trusted company with more than 30 employees. Our system engineers are fully dedicated to developing and improving L4Re. Are you also an admirer of beautifully written code? Do you want to make the world a better place by programming excellent software? Do you value your independence, creativity and flat hierarchies? Start your career at Kernkonzept!
See our job listings below or contact us.
There are no fixed career paths at Kernkonzept. We want you to grow your career according to your talents and interests.
We encourage you to acquire further specializations, whether in software engineering, product or key account management. We provide several days off and sponsor your choice of training.
Our work is characterized by middle and longterm customer projects and our own product development. Short-term orders and tight deadlines do occur, but they are not part of our work ethic.
We do not value rigorous project management routines. You will work in organically grown functional teams with sufficient time.
Our open, friendly working environment fosters learning and personal growth. Respect and cooperation are very important for us.
Obviously there is a close proximity to hardware.
At Kernkonzept we work in an international team. You can and should speak English all the time. Get familiar with the cultures of our Canadian, Brazilian, Czech, or German colleagues!
We work with Linux OS and almost exclusively with open-source software. Some of us are conjurers with emacs – others with vim. There are keyboard enthusiasts who are discussing the advantages of red and blue Cherry MX switches, lovers of Douglas, Lem, or Pratchett, and walking movie lexicons. There are sporty spices who ride the Dresdner Heide with their fullies at lunch break or engage at triathlons in their free time.
Our engineers are literal veterans in the open-source software universe. Some have been providing the mirrors for German Ubuntu or Debian for years, or maintaining the Minicom program as a hobby – thus keeping open-source software tools running that are being used by thousands of users.
You feel proud to be a nerd and love the elegance of code? We could be your perfect match.
Kernkonzept is actively seeking collaboration with research institutes, universities, and industrial partners. In various research projects we
explore secure industry digitalization, IT security, high-performance computing, and virtualization.
Our goal is to constantly improve our own software and its functionalities, opening up new areas of application for L4Re.
