Ask HN: AWS engineer looking to do low level development. How do I land a gig?

I currently work for AWS and am looking to leave. My resume is pretty strong for high level programing, distributed systems (monitoring/operations, setting stuff up, root causing problems), web dev, and I've got good algorithms chops.

Unfortunatly, low level job postings seem to all want years of experience writing C/doing kernel development/niche specific skills. Recently, I've taken an interest in firmware and kernel development, and I'd love to get paid to do it. Does anyone know someone who'd hire someone like me? Should I get a ton of OSS experience first or something?
