Longtime Linux Kernel Engineer With 14 Years At Intel Is Now At Meta


Facebook's Meta already employs an all-star team of Linux kernel engineers and it doesn't appear that they are over in recruiting top-tier Linux kernel talent

His contributions to the Linux kernel on Intel's behalf can't be understated with being a maintainer of Trust Domain Extensions (TDX) that is now important to their confidential computing play on Xeon, he's also worked on Linear Address Space Separation (LASS) and many other Linux kernel memory management related features over the past fourteen years. After leaving Intel two weeks ago, Shutemov publicly announced that he is now employed by Meta as a Linux kernel software engineer out of London. This can be chalked up as a win for the open-source community at large with Shutemov's contributions to Linux memory management and other areas of the kernel hopefully continuing and with Meta not tied to any particular silicon vendor.
