About This Team
The team owns the Citrix Workspace app for Linux end-to-end, including:
Platform enablement and distribution support (RHEL, Ubuntu, Raspberry Pi OS, thin clients/OEMs)
Core client features, protocol handling, and platform integration
Production quality, performance, and customer escalations
The team works closely with Product Management, other Workspace client teams (Windows, Mac, Mobile), Support, and Linux thin client partners to deliver a consistent, high-quality experience.
Job Description/Responsibilities:
Lead the design and development of complex features and components for the Linux client, ensuring scalability, maintainability, and performance.
Own end-to-end delivery: requirements clarification, architecture/design, implementation, unit/integration testing, and deployment for Linux.
Provide technical leadership for Linux development: define coding standards, best practices, and architectural guidelines; drive adoption across the team.
Investigate and resolve complex production issues and customer escalations, often involving deep debugging across multiple layers (application, OS, network).
Drive performance, reliability, and resource-usage improvements across supported Linux distributions and hardware (including ARM / Raspberry Pi).
Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define, design, and ship features that work consistently across platforms, while leveraging Linux-specific capabilities.
Work with Linux thin client and OEM partners to ensure feature compatibility, optimize behavior in their environments, and address partner-specific issues.
Contribute to and improve build, packaging, and release workflows for Linux (e.g., DEB/RPM packaging, dependency management, distribution-specific configurations).
Prepare and review test plans and test cases; drive automation and coverage improvements for Linux-specific functionality.
Mentor and coach other engineers through design reviews, code reviews, and pair debugging; help grow Linux expertise within the team.
