Our team has a successful track record in designing, developing, implementing, and integrating software solutions (AI, ML, BI, Web, Automation) for Telecom, Energy, Bank, Insurance, Pharma, Automotive, Industry, e-commerce. We deliver our services both in fixed-price and time-and-materials models, helping our customers achieve their business and IT strategies.
Job Description
We are looking for an experienced Systems & Protocol Engineer to join an innovative R&D project for a client in the energy industry. You will help build highly reliable edge systems for real-time, low-latency operations โ designed to function without constant cloud connectivity. This role is ideal for hands-on engineers who enjoy working close to the hardware and network layers, creating fast, deterministic, and robust systems.
Key Responsibilities
- Design and implement efficient binary protocols over TCP
- Build and maintain deterministic state machines and runtime logic (Go)
- Develop components for fallback operations, event replay, and offline mode
- Ensure resilient execution on edge devices (no cloud dependency)
- Work with custom binary stream decoding, data compression, and telemetry
- Deploy and monitor distributed Linux-based systems using containers (Docker/Podman)
-
Collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate with EVs, batteries, chargers, and grid APIs
- Experience with ZeroMQ, protobuf, or disk-buffered logs
- Knowledge of power markets, smart grid protocols, or low-latency trading systems
- Familiarity with EV charging APIs, batteries, or energy devices
- Experience with TimescaleDB or other time-series databases
-
Ability to write scripting/integration logic in Python when needed
- Strong experience in Go (or Rust/C for low-level logic)
- Solid understanding of TCP/IP protocols, binary formats, and real-time processing
- Experience building mission-critical Linux systems
- Familiarity with Docker or Podman, edge deployment, system observability
- Ability to write clean, efficient, and maintainable code
- Fluent English (spoken and written)
- Must be located in Poland
-
Must have an active sole proprietorship (jednoosobowa dziaลalnoลฤ gospodarcza) registered in Poland
- Participation in an ambitious R&D project for a leading energy sector client
-
Long-term cooperation on a B2B basis
- 100% remote work
- A flat structure and direct impact on product direction
- Work with modern, performance-critical tech in a hands-on engineering team
Senior Embedded Software Engineer
@ Embedd 
What we're looking for
At embedd.it, we power hardware-software integration in embedded devices. We turn fragmented semiconductor chip data into configurable digital twins, then deterministically generate code, tests, and documentation โ making integration faster, cheaper, and resilient to supply chain shocks.
Weโre looking for a true legend โ someone with abstract thinking and deep expertise in low-level software development. Youโll build vendor-agnostic tooling for MCU and peripheral integration to solve hardware-software integration once and for all. We work at the intersection of embedded systems, code generation, compilers, and machine learning. Itโs your chance to help redefine how low-level development is done.
Responsibilities
- Drive the architecture of the driver structures and system layout
- Define scalable patterns for cross-architectural integration across bare-metal, Zephyr, Linux, and other environments
- Deconstruct complex SoC device trees and translate hardware descriptions into structured internal models for automated reasoning
- Partner with the ML team to shape data and annotation models for AI-driven data-extraction tooling
Qualifications
- 5+ years of experience in embedded systems development, including bare-metal and RTOS-based systems
- Proficiency in C/C++
- Familiarity with firmware configuration, SoC bring-up, and system-level debugging
- Hands-on experience with code generation tools, or low-level compiler/decompiler/emulator technologies
- Strong background in embedded toolchains: compilers, linkers, debuggers, and build systems
- Python or scripting for automation and tooling is a plus
- Experience with functional-safety standards is a plus
Why embedd.it?
- Dynamic, venture-backed team of engineers challenging the status quo ๐
- Work at the intersection of embedded systems, code generators, compilers, and ML ๐ค
- Unusual challenges requiring out-of-the-box abstract thinking ๐ง
- Competitive compensation: cash + equity ๐ฐ
- Remote work possible ๐
About Us
embedd.it is a UK-based startup reinventing embedded development. Our platform transforms unstructured semiconductor data into structured digital twins, enabling automatic generation of drivers, tests, and documentation. We're building a single, traceable source of truth to make integration fast, vendor-agnostic, and future-proof.
