I am from Linux kernel background with C/C++ and Python exp .I am not finding much options in Linux kernel in new generation companies except AWS.
I am getting pings for only user space based jobs or
jobs from legacy companies.
I am looking for a system programming job in a startup/high growth company.
Any openings that you know off?

I made the switch to F 1+ year ago. I did struggle initially to learn all high level tech but you are a better programmer because your knowledge goes all the way down to the kernel.
I got calls from legacy companies like HPE/cisco/juniper.
P.S. if interview processes don't evolve, they'll still hire the Python programmers with hot company experience for doing future low-level work. You have to keep your game up and stay relevant until then by working on hot assignments even at legacy companies.
Let's see this, for example:

What about Google/GCP?
They will definitely have things happening on kernel stuff
Especially the core boot team which they call “Linux boot” now
They are rewriting lot of proprietary bios boot stuff.
Yeah GCP is hiring crazily now
Base : 145k
Bonus: 10%
Long term incentives: 20k
YOE: 6
That's the another problem.
I had an offer from Tableau
160k/250k worth RSU in 4 years/ 50k joining bonus.
Is the salary reasonable for seattle.
I have declined the offer since the work is entirely different from what I am looking for.
What about embedded, networking, drivers, codecs, etc.
