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 On
Developing software for Linux-based embedded and edge devices
Building features across a distributed device platform
Working on networking, APIs, and systems integration
Investigating performance, reliability, and low-level software issues
Contributing to architecture, design decisions, and engineering best practice
Collaborating within a small, highly experienced engineering team
What We're Looking For
Commercial C++ development experience
Strong Linux knowledge
Experience developing software for embedded Linux devices, networking equipment, edge devices, or other resource-constrained systems
Strong debugging and problem-solving skills
Understanding of how software interacts with hardware, operating systems, networking, and wider system behaviour
Experience with Golang would be advantageous but is not essential.
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 UK
Significant technical ownership and end-to-end feature responsibility
Opportunity to influence product direction and architecture
Collaborative, 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.
