Senior Systems Software Engineer (Python / Docker / Edge Devices/ IoT) (Mexico)

We are hiring a Senior Systems Software Engineer to take technical ownership of the OV20i, our NVIDIA Jetson–based edge AI camera. This role blends embedded Linux depth with hands-on software engineering, supporting the long-term stability of our legacy products while delivering new features, bug fixes, and customer-driven improvements for the North America and Mexico regions. This is not a hardware, firmware, people-management, or product-management role.

It is a deep, hands-on technical ownership role working across Python, C++, Linux services, OTA updates, networking, containers, and real-time video pipelines. You will be the primary engineering owner for a complex, production-grade edge device — ensuring reliability, stability, and successful integration of new front-end or backend functionality. While some frontend support is available, testing and integrating new features will fall under your responsibility.

Overview is a 40-person startup with a global footprint. Our customers are concentrated in East Asia and the United States, and our core software engineering team is based in Taiwan (English is the working language). This role serves as the technical bridge between our local customers and our core engineering team.

You will report to the software team lead in Taipei, collaborate closely with colleagues across time zones and cultures, and may travel to Asia 1–2 times per year. The role is fully remote, with up to 20% travel to customer sites in Mexico as needed. If you enjoy building real software for real hardware, solving complex system-level challenges, and owning product code end-to-end on Linux-based edge devices, we would love to speak with you.
