About the role

The device platform is where Sauron meets the physical world. Every camera frame, every sensor reading, every alert a homeowner sees starts on hardware we built, running software we wrote, in a home we don't control. If the device isn't up, isn't streaming, or isn't telling the truth about its own state, nothing downstream matters. We are hiring someone to help own that foundation. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

What they're looking for

  • 4+ years of professional experience developing device software for hardware products
  • Experience with Linux on embedded/constrained systems, such as Yocto, or AOSP
  • Experience writing C/C++ for Linux systems
  • Demonstrated ability to write multi-threaded, highly reliable code
  • Hands-on experience building real-time video pipelines on Linux with GStreamer or FFmpeg/libav, and a working knowledge of RTSP/RTP and H.264/H.265 (GOPs, IDR frames, SPS/PPS)
  • Strong grasp of software lifecycle best practices: code reviews, version control, unit/integration testing, CI, and on-hardware validation
More about this role

Sauron is the home security company of the future. Homeowners today lack compelling options when it comes to peace of mind against vulnerabilities, and total command and control of their home; there is no definitive, protective brand in the space. Leveraging cutting-edge AI, sensor technology, and nonlethal deterrence, Sauron brings next-generation technology to homeowners to protect their families and property. Incubated by the serial entrepreneur Kevin Hartz and Atomic, Sauron has raised an $18M seed round from leading venture capital firms and angel investors, including 8VC and Flock Safety CEO Garret Langley, to build the new perception system for the home.

Our devices live on real home networks, next to third-party cameras, through power cuts, firmware updates, and years of operation without anyone...
