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

Why Consider It?Your code will run on physical devices deployed by organisations worldwide, not on a cloud server. In a small, expert team, your engineering decisions are visible, your ideas are heard, and your impact is immediate.Fully remote within the UKSignificant technical ownership and end-to-end feature responsibilityOpportunity to influence product direction and architectureCollaborative, people-first culture with an international engineering team Interested?If you have a background in embedded software, Linux systems development, connected devices, or solving complex low-level engineering problems, we’d love to hear from you.
