Job description

We build distributed edge systems that process data directly on embedded devices and integrate with a web platform for configuration and monitoring.

The systems operate under real-world constraints such as hardware interaction, limited resources, intermittent connectivity, and long-running processes. You will work end-to-end across edge devices, backend services, and a web-based UI, contributing to both feature development and reliability in production environments.

Tasks

  • Develop and operate Linux-based services on embedded / edge devices
  • Build backend services with Python and Django / REST APIs
  • Contribute to a React-based web UI
  • Design and debug long-running, stateful processes
  • Independently diagnose and fix issues in production systems using logs and system behavior

Requirements

Do you have experience in React?, This role assumes prior experience operating production systems and a high degree of autonomy.

You are expected to work independently without step-by-step guidance and be responsible for the reliability of an existing embedded production system.

A significant part of the work involves maintenance, debugging, and improving robustness of systems that are already deployed, rather than continuous greenfield development.

You will work within an existing system architecture and collaborate closely with a product / software architect who owns the overall design.

The role requires reasoning about complex behavior under embedded and real-world constraints, and taking responsibility for outcomes rather than waiting for fully specified tasks.

Tech Stack (High-Level)

Python · Linux (user space) · Django / REST · React (This is not a firmware or bare-metal role. Experience with embedded Linux-based systems, IoT, or data processing and multimedia pipelines is a plus.)

Benefits & conditions

  • Real-world systems with real constraints
  • High ownership and impact
  • Fully remote, engineering-focused environment
