I am a final-year CS undergrad at JNU (graduating 2027) looking for a Systems / Rust Internship, possibly transitioning into a full-time role after graduation (June 2027).
Recent work:
- Redox OS (RSoC 2026): Re-architected the kernel CPU scheduler from Round-Robin to Interleaved DWRR and finally to EEVDF with per-core runqueues and dynamic work-stealing (782x fairness improvement, 82% latency reduction). Featured on Phoronix (https://www.phoronix.com/news/Redox-OS-Goes-EEVDF). Detailed blog @ https://himwant.org/posts/redox-eevdf/
- Rust & ML Infrastructure: Implemented Depth Anything V3 monocular depth estimation in pure Rust using Burn; contributed foundational ONNX ops.
- OS Internals & Writing: Authoring low-level deep dives bridging academic OS theory to real-world microkernel code. Just launched the "OSTEP & Redox" series: https://himwant.org/series/ostep--redox/
I am primarily interested in teams working on low-level infrastructure, operating systems, hypervisors/virtualization, database storage engines, or high-performance distributed systems. If your team is working on something interesting, even if technically adjacent, feel free to contact me!
Luckily I was able to complete an internship lately (implemented EEVDF scheduler for Redox OS) but even then, the amount of Rust Junior jobs are so rare that it is proving to not be of much help.

I am now reading through the excellent OSTEP book and documenting topic-by-topic how a real kernel (Redox) tackles the topic. I have covered struct proc and scheduling till now, the next is memory management! (https://himwant.org/series/ostep--redox/)

The other option is maybe hook up humans to EEG or the likes and map their brains while they solve different kinds of problem, or just see and feel the world around them
From the inside, is Oxide a place where a fresh grad can actually be useful? Or is the "complexity floor" of hardware/software co-design so high that you really just need a few decades of experience to be effective? I'd love a reality check on whether I should keep Oxide as a long-term 10-year goal or if there’s a path for people starting out.
I am an undergraduate right now and looking at the people working there, it doesn't seem likely they would hire a fresh grad, I think I have found the yardstick I am going to measure myself by going forward, "Am I skilled enough that I could work at Oxide?". Hope more companies follow suit in putting the people forward!!
Radicle is the most exciting out of these, imo!
