Role Summary

As a Software Engineer, you will develop software for connected industrial products, with a primary focus on embedded Linux and Go. You will work on device applications and Linux software integration, ensuring reliable communication, efficient data handling, and secure software updates across our products. 

In this role, you will also contribute to user-facing service and diagnostic applications built with modern JavaScript and TypeScript technologies. While the main focus is on embedded and backend development, you will have opportunities to support cloud integration and development tooling initiatives.

We are looking for an engineer with strong Linux and systems development experience who enjoys solving challenges across different layers of the software stack. You do not need to be an expert in every technology area; we value deep expertise in core development skills, a collaborative mindset, and a willingness to learn and grow in adjacent technologies.

Job Responsibilities

Key responsibilities in this role:

• Develop and maintain Go services for device communication, telemetry collection, local processing and secure transfer to cloud services.
• Maintain and extend embedded Linux software, including build configuration, application packaging, system images and service integration.
• Develop user interface features and application logic for service, diagnostic and device-management tools.
• Investigate problems across application code, Linux services and network communication using logs, metrics and reproducible tests.
• Improve recovery from interrupted connections, restarts and partial transfers while managing device CPU, memory and storage constraints.
• Apply security best practices to device communication, access control and software updates.
• Write automated tests, review code and maintain build and release pipelines and technical documentation.
• Collaborate with hardware, embedded software, cloud and product colleagues; contribute to related APIs and release tooling when needed.

Who You Are

• Proven professional experience in software development for Linux-based, embedded, or connected systems
• A degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field
• Hands-on experience with Go development and automated testing
• Strong knowledge of Linux system administration and troubleshooting
• Experience with embedded Linux development and build frameworks such as Yocto, OpenEmbedded, or Buildroot
• Working knowledge of TypeScript/JavaScript and modern frontend frameworks such as React
• Understanding of networking concepts, including TCP/IP and asynchronous communication
• Experience with Git, code reviews, CI/CD practices, and secure software development principles

It is a plus if you have experience with:

• React, Electron, Node.js, Docker, Python, or shell scripting
• Device communication protocols and connected-device technologies
• Over-the-air software updates and device security
• Cloud platforms, APIs, SQL databases, and software release automation

We welcome applicants from all backgrounds – your unique experience and perspectives is valuable to us.
