Role Description

We are seeking a Staff Systems Software Engineer with strong Embedded Linux experience to take technical ownership of the OV20i, our NVIDIA Jetson–based edge AI camera. In this role, you will:

• Design, build, and maintain the software that powers OV20i—ranging from Python application code and C++ components to Linux system services, networking, containerized applications, and device reliability.
• Operate across the OS and application stack, ensuring our cameras are robust, secure, maintainable, and easy to deploy at scale.
• Add new features, fix bugs, improve stability, and integrate occasional front-end changes.
• Test and validate end-to-end functionality.
• Serve as the software engineering owner for the OV20i and the primary technical link between the North America region and the core engineering team.
• Drive the long-term stability and customer-facing evolution of a product widely deployed in the US.
• Address customer requests, support the field team, and ensure the device’s continued success in a region with a large and growing customer base.
• Work remotely with up to 30% travel to customer sites in the Midwest and Southeast.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or Master’s in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related field.
• 7+ years of experience in Linux-based embedded systems or systems software.
• 5+ years of Python development experience.
• Solid C++ skills in a Linux environment.
• Experience with SBC or Embedded Linux platforms.
• Understanding of networking fundamentals (TCP/IP, routing, TLS/HTTPS, certificates).
• Experience debugging Linux applications and services (systemd, logs, containers).
• Strong problem-solving skills and independent ownership mindset.
• Clear communication and collaboration skills.

Requirements

• Develop and maintain system-level and application-level software for NVIDIA Jetson devices.
• Implement and own OTA for our deployed device fleet.
• Write Python application code for device control, edge logic, monitoring, and data flows.
• Work with C/C++ components for performance-critical functionality.
• Integrate camera/video pipelines to capture, process, and analyze real-time video streams.
• Debug Linux systems involving multiple services, containers, and custom applications.
• Tune performance across the stack: kernel, services, containers, and user applications.
• Use Docker containers for packaging and deploying edge software components.
• Collaborate with hardware vendors to diagnose and resolve system-level issues.
• Work with backend/API teams to maintain reliable device–server communication.

Benefits

• Unlimited PTO – we care about results, not hours.
• Comprehensive health benefits – medical, dental, and vision.
• Remote-first flexibility – work anywhere with a stable network.
• Direct access to leadership – collaborate with founders and senior execs.
