Senior Linux Application Developer (f/m/x)

##### Hello

You live in Berlin and want to shape the future of mobility with robust and elegant Linux applications?

How about creating next-generation embedded software solutions in close collaboration with interdisciplinary teams to help brands from the automotive and other industries to take the next step? Let’s go! Join us as a Senior Linux Application Developer in Berlin!

##### What will you do?

You’ll be a vital part of our agile and creative engineering team in Berlin – contributing with deep technical expertise and out-of-the-box thinking to develop Linux-based applications that power future-forward experiences.

Your day-to-day will include:

• Developing and maintaining user-facing Linux applications with high standards in stability, performance, and usability
• Contributing to projects from early concept phases through prototyping and final integration
• Identifying pragmatic technical solutions for real-world challenges, appropriate to the specific project context
• Collaborating with UX, hardware, and system engineering teams to ensure smooth integration and delivery
• Managing communication and expectations with project partners and internal teams

##### Who are you?

You’re fluent in C, C++, or other system-level languages and at home in the Linux world – but also curious, collaborative, and not afraid to question the status quo. Your proactive work attitude comes with great communication skills and the joy to combine structure with creativity. Maybe it’s hobby side projects that keep your perspective fresh and ideas sparking?

Here’s what we think you need to succeed in this role:

• Strong foundation in software engineering, ideally with a degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or similar
• 5+ years of experience in Linux application development, including embedded systems and hardware integration
• Practical knowledge of networking and Linux I/O (e.g. sockets, USB, CAN, I2C; WireGuard, NAT, etc.)
• Hands-on experience with HTTP (e.g. integrating a web server into your application) and basic web technologies (HTML, CSS, JavaScript – vanilla is just fine!)
• Experience with microcontroller programming; bonus if you’ve also worked on PCB design
• Ability to independetly assess the right technical approach for the task at hand
• Bonus: You don’t panic when someone says, "git rebase"
• Fluency in English; German is a plus
• Location: Berlin, with 50% regular office presence (hybrid work model)

Why join us?

You’ll work in an inspiring environment that values collaboration, experimentation, and ownership. We believe great technology comes from mixing precision with imagination – and that starts with people like you.
