This award-winning Cambridge tech company is an industry-leader providing a hardware and software solution to enable high-throughput data transmission, synchronisation and processing in real-time that is used across a range of industries worldwide. Their technologies can be found from corporate offices to high-profile public media and entertainment services, and their success is driven by a world-class team of developers and engineers working in an inspiring, collaborative environment.

They are searching for a Software Developer specialising in Embedded Linux applications to grow their team. They’re seeking candidates with expertise in low-level C++ programming, often working down to bare metal environments and related constraints. You’ll understand the need for small-footprint code, careful memory allocation and management, and have a ‘toolkit’ of constructs and templates you’re familiar with to achieve challenging goals.

In addition to demonstrating the above through commercial experience, candidates must also demonstrate:

• a strong academic background, with a 1st or a 2.1 in computing or electronics from a Russell Group university;
• familiarity with constrained-environments, including compression, optimisation, or perhaps cryptography too;
• experience linking to hardware via USB, Ethernet, or Audio / Video drivers;
• confidence working in a modern Agile environment, perhaps with integrated automated testing systems / environments.

On offer for the successful candidate is a top salary and benefits package with plenty of perks and advantages. Working in a modern office environment, this company also boasts flexible working hours (within reason), frequent company socials, and opportunities and resources for further professional development.
