Senior Staff Engineer Software

Immediate opening for Senior Staff Engineer Software with minimum experience of 8 + years. Exposure on writing or adapting firmware, working with MCU toolchains and build systems (Make, CMake, GCC/LLVM) is must. Should be good with packaging, async patterns, CLI tooling, RESTAPI development, scripting, and test automation. Key responsibility is to build software prototypes to validate product and feature concepts.

Your Role

Key responsibilities in your new role :

• Build software prototypes to validate product and feature concepts before full engineering investment
• Write structured code across the stack: Python tooling, CLI tools, REST and WebSocket integrations, cloud service wrappers, and lightweight web backends
• Work with hardware: set up MCU development boards, flash firmware, capture debug output, and verify hardware behavior
• Use AI-assisted development tools as a genuine workflow accelerator
• Evaluate third-party tools, APIs, and platforms by building quick integrations to test feasibility
• Write test harnesses and automation scripts to validate prototype findings
• Document results clearly so product managers and engineers can act on what was learned
• Collaborate closely with product managers and designers throughout the prototyping cycle

Your Profile

Qualifications and skills to help you succeed :

• 8+ years of software engineering experience with a track record of building working systems quickly across different technology areas
• Strong Python skills: packaging, async patterns, CLI tooling, RESTAPI development, scripting, and test automation
• C or C++ for embedded contexts: writing or adapting firmware, working with MCU toolchains and build systems (Make, C Make, GCC/LLVM)
• Shell scripting (Bash or PowerShell) for automation and build tooling
• Systems integration experience: REST APIs, WebSocket, cloud platforms, and Docker
• Proficiency with Git and version control as standard engineering practice
• Active use of AI-assisted development tools (GitHub Copilot, Cursor, or equivalent)
• Strong debugging instincts across software and hardware
