Embedded Engineer (Go, Rust, or C++)

About the Role

The Embedded Engineer role involves developing embedded applications primarily using Go, Rust, or C++. Candidates will work on applications for embedded devices, focusing on performance optimization and system-level applications.

Experience

There are two openings:

• Mid-Level Engineer: 4–6 years of experience
• Senior Engineer: 7–8 years of experience (ideal range)

A future Team Lead version of the role may require prior people management experience, although the candidate would initially join as an Individual Contributor (IC).

Core Technical Skills Programming Languages (Must-Have)

Candidates should have strong expertise in at least one of:

• Go (preferred)
• Rust
• C++

Important: Candidates whose primary language is C only are not a fit. If a candidate's background is primarily in C, they must also demonstrate solid C++ experience.

Operating System

Strong experience developing applications on Embedded Linux. Experience building software that runs on embedded devices at the application layer.

What They're Actually Looking For

The team develops embedded applications, not operating systems.

Good Candidates Have Experience With

• Embedded Linux application development
• Device software
• System-level applications
• Networking or distributed embedded software
• Performance optimization
• Cross-platform development
