The player-coach. You've set a team's technical direction: the architecture calls, the reviews where the hard problems get caught. And you want the people side too. Growing engineers, running 1:1s, hiring. You're not looking to trade one for the other. Maybe you've been a staff engineer or tech lead ready to own a team, or a manager who never stopped writing code. Either way, 60/40 sounds about right to you
At home where software meets hardware. Embedded Linux is your familiar ground: the kernel, the BSP, userspace, C and C++ running on the device itself. You've spent time close to the metal: wireless stacks, streaming protocols, drivers. You can reason about a bug whether it lives in the firmware, the network, or the silicon
You ship to hardware you can't reach. When it's firmware on a device mounted in someone's meeting room, a bad release doesn't just roll back with a hotfix. You've owned software that ships to the field, so staged rollouts, over-the-air updates, and testing on the devices themselves come naturally. "Works on my bench" isn't the finish line for you
You've turned new hardware into a product. Bare silicon arrives, and someone has to make it boot, talk to the network, manage its heat, and eventually stream. You've done that kind of bringup, or worked close enough to it to lead the people who do
You use AI as a daily tool. You write code with it, debug with it, prototype with it. You've formed your own view on where it speeds things up and where it gets in the way, and you help the people around you do the same
Logistics Location: Remote in Europe, or hybrid from our Copenhagen office. Employment type: Full-time preferred. We're also open to a project-based contract scoped to delivering the native protocol implementations
