Job description
️ Embedded Software Engineer (C++ / Linux) Remote, UK We're supporting an established, profitable technology company with international engineering teams, developing software for embedded and edge devices operating in resource-constrained environments. This is a systems-level software engineering role focused on Linux-based devices, not web, cloud, or enterprise applications. The team are particularly interested in engineers who have developed software running directly on Linux-based devices and understand how software, hardware, networking, and operating systems interact within a complete system. This role will suit engineers who have built software that runs directly on the device itself, rather than engineers whose primary experience is building cloud platforms or backend services around those devices. What You'll Be Working OnDeveloping software for Linux-based embedded and edge devicesBuilding features across a distributed device platformWorking on networking, APIs, and systems integrationInvestigating performance, reliability, and low-level software issuesContributing to architecture, design decisions, and engineering best practiceCollaborating within a small, highly experienced engineering team
