Our home security platform reliably identifies, understands, and deters threats. With Sauron, you always know that everything is under control. Backed by Abstract Ventures.
About the role
Our devices live on real home networks, next to third-party cameras, through power cuts, firmware updates, and years of operation without anyone looking at them. They have to keep video flowing to on-device perception, to local recording, and to a homeowner's phone in real time, and recover on their own when any piece fails. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- Develop from scratch and maintain embedded Linux platforms, from BSP to application level
- Work with electrical, mechanical, perception/ML, backend, and mobile teams to define architectures for new on-device software
- Drive features end-to-end through the full software lifecycle: design, implementation, validation, and production rollout
- Root-cause and resolve issues using remote fleet diagnostics, telemetry, and local hardware test platforms, define logging and observability standards
- 4+ years of professional experience developing device software for hardware products
- Experience with Linux on embedded/constrained systems, such as Yocto, or AOSP
More about this role
Who We Are
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.
The Role | Senior Device Software Engineer
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.
