Senior Embedded Linux Engineer

Company: Wemolo

Why candidates should join

This is an opportunity to own the core platform of IoT devices rather than isolated firmware pieces. You’ll work across the full stack from kernel and driver integration to Python application development, shaping how hardware capabilities become product features.

The role offers broad technical scope, real ownership, and the chance to improve reliability, observability, and security across a next-generation embedded Linux platform.

Role Requirements

• several years of embedded Linux experience (Must-have)
• Yocto-based Linux image building and maintenance (Must-have)
• Linux internals (Must-have)
• GNU tools and Bash (Must-have)
• systems programming in C, C++, Rust, Go, or Java (Must-have)
• Python application development (Must-have)
• debugging tools such as GDB, tcpdump, Valgrind, UART, and JTAG (Must-have)
• Linux bootloaders, systemd, drivers, kernel concepts, networking, and Docker (Must-have)
• end-to-end ownership (Must-have)
• proactive improvement mindset (Must-have)
• experience with embedded systems or hardware-adjacent development (Must-have)
• senior-level profile (Must-have)
• experience with large-scale IoT fleets (Nice-to-have)
• MQTT and Protocol Buffers (Nice-to-have)
• computer vision, edge AI, or machine learning (Nice-to-have)

About The Role The role sits close to the embedded world and is focused on owning the operating system foundation and platform layer of IoT devices. The engineer will build and evolve a next-generation embedded Linux image, work on the Python application layer on top of it, and operate across the boundary between hardware, OS, and product features.

The work spans Yocto-based Linux distribution development for ARM devices, system integration, device reliability, and debugging complex issues across kernel, drivers, networking, memory management, and application software. Success means taking end-to-end ownership, improving the platform proactively, and helping shape engineering best practices.
