Strong Morals: Since our founding, we've turned down somewhere between $1mm - $2mm of work that didn't meet our moral standards. (Most of that was DTC brands that can't show a valid sustainability initiative). Async & Decentralized: We use tools optimized for calm, thoughtful communication, and opt for async whenever possible. We fight hard to maintain our focus time. Remote Friendly: Our company is fluent in remote work, making our workplace more decentralized, and democratized in the process. Ideas & Products: In our spare studio time, we work to build our own open source or internal products to diversify & bolster our income. We create amazing technology products for our clients, so why not for the studio? → Read more on our Substack, over here, or our Medium, over there.

You don't need a spec to get started and you don't need a manager to tell you when something's off.You've shipped real products. You know the difference between firmware that works in the lab and firmware that survives in the field — and you build for the latter from day one. You're comfortable making architectural decisions under ambiguity, and you document those decisions so the team can follow.In this role, you'll work across a range of embedded initiatives, from connectivity and OTA infrastructure to display integration and sensor pipelines, finding pragmatic, cost-effective solutions to hard real-time problems. You'll collaborate directly with hardware engineers, product teams, and clients, and you'll be expected to hold your own in all three rooms.Responsibilities will include:Owning firmware architecture decisions across one or more active product platformsBringing up new hardware revisions and integrating peripheral drivers with minimal ramp timeMonitoring deployed firmware in the field, triaging issues, and shipping fixes with urgency and disciplineDesigning and implementing wireless connectivity flows - pairing, OTA, reconnect logic, fleet healthReprocessing and validating firmware behavior across hardware variants and edge casesIntegrating new sensors, actuators, and communication modules into existing firmware architecturesParticipating in code reviews and holding a high bar - style, correctness, and long-term maintainabilityKeeping close track of project scope, timeline, and technical risk - and surfacing problems before they become crisesCommunicating directly with clients to align deliverables with constraints when scope and reality diverge🧗 Who you areThe person we’re looking for is happy, relaxed and easy to get along with.
