Job Summary

We are seeking a Senior Software Developer to design and implement robust embedded software solutions in C and C++ within Unix and Linux environments. This role requires strong version control discipline using Git and Bitbucket, along with a solid grounding in software design patterns to build scalable, maintainable systems. The ideal candidate will collaborate with cross-functional teams to deliver device-oriented solutions as well as features supporting billing and revenue management.

Responsibilities
  • Design and implement high-quality embedded software components in C and C++ that meet functional requirements, adhere to organizational quality standards, and run efficiently on target hardware platforms.
  • Develop and maintain applications and services in Unix and Linux environments, writing optimized code and shell scripts to improve performance, reliability, and operational efficiency for production systems.
  • Manage source code using Git and Bitbucket, including creating branches, managing pull requests, and maintaining clean commit histories to ensure traceability and secure collaboration across teams.
  • Apply appropriate design patterns in architectural decisions, structuring modules and interfaces for scalability, reusability, and long‑term maintainability of complex embedded solutions.
  • Debug and troubleshoot embedded system issues using appropriate tools and logs, identifying root causes and implementing sustainable fixes that improve system stability and reduce recurring defects.
  • Partner with cross-functional stakeholders in product, engineering, testing, and operations to clarify requirements, refine technical specifications, and deliver features aligned with business objectives.
  • Optimize existing codebases through refactoring, improved resource utilization, and reduced latency to enhance device performance and system efficiency.
  • Participate in code reviews and technical discussions, offering constructive feedback and ensuring adherence to secure coding and compliance standards.
  • Implement configuration and build management practices for embedded projects, including scripting automated builds and integrations to support consistent deployments in a hybrid work environment.
  • Contribute to documentation of system designs, module interfaces, and operational procedures to enable efficient onboarding, ongoing support, and long‑term knowledge continuity.
  • Support integration of device‑focused solutions with broader enterprise systems by designing interfaces and data flows that enable reliable communication and a seamless user experience.
  • Collaborate with product and business teams to understand billing and revenue management requirements, translating them into clear technical tasks that support accurate and efficient financial processes.
  • Maintain day‑shift availability for collaboration meetings and status updates within the hybrid work model, ensuring regular alignment with local and distributed team members.
Qualifications
  • Demonstrated experience in embedded systems development using C and C++, with a solid understanding of memory management, concurrency, and hardware‑software interaction.
  • Proficiency in Unix and Linux platforms, including command-line tools, process management, and performance monitoring for application and system troubleshooting.
  • Hands‑on expertise with Git and Bitbucket, including branching strategies, merge conflict resolution, and repository hygiene to support collaborative workflows.
  • Proven ability to apply software design patterns in real‑world projects, structuring components that are modular, testable, and resilient to change across embedded and back‑end systems.
  • Practical experience in device‑oriented domains, such as firmware, communication interfaces, or…
