Hire Linux engineers
Senior Linux engineers who work at the operating-system level on performance tuning, networking, kernel and container internals. They use AI tools and verify what those tools produce, and they're tested on diagnosing real system behaviour and reviewing generated configuration and scripts.
01
Generated commands run with real privileges
Models write shell scripts and system configuration quickly, including commands that are destructive or far broader than needed. Engineers have to read every generated change as if it runs as root, because it often does.
02
Symptoms point the wrong way
High load, slow disks and dropped packets often have a cause somewhere else in the system. An engineer who measures with the right tools finds it before an agent chases the wrong signal.
03
Containers still depend on the kernel
Most workloads now run in containers, but limits, namespaces and kernel settings still decide how they behave. We test whether engineers know what sits underneath.
How we assess Linux engineers
Every engineer works through a fundamentals assessment with AI tools switched off and a second assessment with their own agents running. For Linux engineers, these criteria carry the most weight.
- AI output verification
Engineers review a generated script or configuration change that does more than it says, and catch it before it runs.
- Debugging
Engineers diagnose a performance or networking problem on a live Linux system with standard tools and measured evidence.
- Judgement by risk and ownership
The engineer decides which changes need a maintenance window, a rollback plan or a second review, and owns that call.

What is Supabase?
Supabase is an open-source backend-as-a-service built on PostgreSQL, offering auth, storage, APIs, and real-time data without vendor lock-in.
What is Backend as a Service (BaaS)?
BaaS provides pre-built cloud infrastructure (databases, auth, storage, APIs) so teams ship apps without building or managing servers from scratch.
How to review AI-generated code
Reviewing AI-generated code changes some of what reviewers look for and keeps the rest. This entry covers both, plus the specific failure modes to check for.
Questions about hiring Linux engineers
How senior are the Linux engineers on Miyagami?
Every Linux engineer we put forward is senior and has shipped and maintained production systems. Each one has passed both assessments, and you see their scorecards before you meet them.
How do you test Linux specifically?
Engineers complete two sixty-minute assessments in a real Linux environment. The first covers system diagnosis, networking, permissions and scripting with AI tools off. In the second they run their own agents, and we test whether they catch generated commands and configuration that are unsafe or too broad.
How quickly can a Linux engineer start?
You get a shortlist in five working days. From shortlist to first commit is typically three weeks, covering your interview, any technical conversation you want to run and contract setup. Engagements are full-time only, with a three-month minimum.
What does a Linux engineer cost through Miyagami?
You pay a fixed monthly fee of €5,600 to €8,000 per full-time engineer, with employment, payroll and compliance included and no recruitment fee. The pricing page compares it with the all-in cost of a senior local hire in your country. Engagements are full-time with a three-month minimum, and if a placement doesn't work out, we replace them at our cost.
Do they work in our stack and tools or their own?
Once placed, engineers work in your repositories, your tooling and your sprints, and follow your rules for what AI tools may touch. In the second assessment they use their own agents, so you've already seen how they work with them.
Get a shortlist within five working days
You share the roles and the stack in a short form or a thirty-minute call. Within five working days you get named senior engineers to review, each with both scorecards.
