Your Impact
We are seeking a Senior Embedded Linux Developer to lead the design, development, and maintenance of Linux-based systems for ARM64 embedded platforms.

  • Implement system hardening and security best practices for embedded Linux.
  • Optimize system performance, boot time, and reliability across hardware configurations.
  • Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams on system integration and validation.
  • Automate build, deployment, and maintenance processes using bash scripting and Linux toolchains.
  • Contribute to kernel configuration and driver development as needed.
What You Bring
  • Extensive experience with embedded Linux development on ARM64 architecture.
  • Deep understanding of Debian/Ubuntu system internals and package management (dpkg, apt, lintian, pbuilder, etc.).
  • Solid grasp of Linux security hardening, secure boot, and update integrity mechanisms.
  • Proficiency in C++, Python, and bash scripting.
  • Demonstrated experience implementing or supporting compliance efforts under the Cyber Resilience Act and RED directive.
  • Knowledge of Linux build systems such as Yocto, Buildroot, or custom Debian-based build pipelines.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Familiarity with secure firmware signing, SBOM (Software Bill of Materials) management, and vulnerability tracking tools.
  • Exposure to CI/CD pipelines for embedded software delivery.
  • Contributions to open-source Linux or Debian projects.

Work Location: This role is based out of our Kassel office and follows a hybrid schedule. We rely on in-person collaboration and ask that team members work onsite Tuesdays through Fridays, with the flexibility to work remotely on Mondays, unless there is an approved workplace accommodation. We believe that connection fuels innovation, and our in-office culture is designed to foster meaningful teamwork, mentorship, and shared success.

Don't meet every single requirement? That's ok. At Axon, we Aim Far. We think big with a long-term view because we want to reinvent the world to be a safer, better place. We are also committed to building diverse teams that reflect the communities we serve.

Studies have shown that women and people of color are less likely to apply to jobs unless they check every box in the job description. If you're excited about this role and our mission to Protect Life but your experience doesn't align perfectly with every qualification listed here, we encourage you to apply anyways. You may be just the right candidate for this or other roles.
