What you will do- Write & Implement Code: You'll spend most of your time in the "flow state," writing C, Python, or Go to integrate new hardware features into our core platforms.
- Troubleshoot & Debug: When hardware doesn't talk to the OS correctly, you'll dig into the drivers and the Linux kernel to find out why and fix it.
- Smart Automation: You'll identify repetitive manual tasks (like testing or deployment) and write scripts to automate them so the whole team stays fast.
- Collaborate & Ship: You'll work alongside senior engineers to take requirements and turn them into functional, enterprise-grade code that actually works for customers.
What you will bring- 3+ years of professional software engineering experience
- Solid Linux Skills: You know your way around a Linux terminal and have a good grasp of how the kernel handles networking and drivers. You don't need to be a kernel deity, but you should know how things connect.
- Polyglot Coding: You are comfortable writing C (for the low-level stuff) and either Python or Go (for tooling and automation). You're less worried about "which language" and more worried about "does it work?"
- A "Testing" Mindset: You write code that is meant to last. You understand that code isn't "done" until it's tested and integrated into a CI/CD pipeline.
- Problem-Solving Curiosity: You enjoy the "puzzle" of hardware/software interactions and don't mind getting your hands dirty in a complex codebase.
The following are considered a plus- Container Exposure: You've used Docker, Kubernetes, or OpenShift and understand how they interact with the underlying OS.
- DevOps Basics: You've worked with Jenkins, GitLab CI, or Ansible to automate your workflows.
- Open Source Mindset: You're comfortable navigating GitHub, reading other people's code, and contributing to upstream projects (like the OPI Project).
