📋 Description

• Architect and evolve the embedded software stack (defining system boundaries, module interfaces, and communication flows) to ensure scalability, maintainability, and efficient integration with backend services. • Build and maintain edge applications on embedded Linux devices, including software for real-time video capture and processing. • Customize and extend Yocto-based Linux builds to support production hardware and future device features. • Implement and maintain software for computer vision, OCR, or other ML inference tasks at the edge. • Develop and maintain containerized environments using Docker to streamline testing, deployment, and reproducibility. • Contribute to OTA (over-the-air) update pipelines and automated testing frameworks to ensure reliable deployments across the fleet. • Integrate devices with backend systems using pub/sub messaging frameworks (ex. NATS JetStream, Kafka, Redis, or MQTT) to connect devices with backend infrastructure. • Collaborate closely with hardware engineers to optimize software for sensors, cameras, and other peripherals. • Troubleshoot and debug board and system level issues using logs, schematics, Linux tools, and protocol analysis. • Author clear documentation, best practices, and internal guides to support the team and streamline problem solving.

🎯 Requirements

• 5+ years of professional software engineering experience developing embedded Linux or edge applications. • Strong proficiency in Python and Bash, with experience shipping production-quality code. • Command-line comfort: you should live in the terminal. • Experience with Docker for creating consistent testing and deployment environments. • Hands-on experience with Yocto/bitbake to customize and build Linux images for production hardware. • Familiarity with OTA update frameworks and tools (ex. Mender) and managing software across a device fleet. • Hands-on experience with Linux systems (dmesg, journalctl, ip, systemd, etc.) and debugging distributed hardware/software environments. • Familiarity with observability and monitoring tools (e.g., DataDog, OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, Grafana) and building internal tooling for device health and alerting. • Excellent written and verbal communication skills; able to translate complex technical findings into clear reports and playbooks. • Self-starter who thrives in a fast-paced, ownership-driven environment.
