## 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
