Job Summary:

We are seeking a skilled Assembler Developer to join our development team, responsible for writing and maintaining low-level code in assembly language. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in systems programming, deep understanding of computer architecture, and experience working in performance-critical environments. You will work on developing, optimizing, and maintaining code for legacy or embedded systems, high-speed data processing, or specialized applications where precision and performance are paramount.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Design, develop, test, and debug software written in assembly language for target hardware platforms (e.g., x86, x64, IBM Mainframe, ARM, MIPS).

  • Optimize and maintain existing assembly code to improve performance and reduce resource usage.

  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams including hardware engineers, C/C++ developers, QA, and systems architects.

  • Analyze system specifications and translate them into efficient low-level routines.

  • Work on integration of assembly code with higher-level languages (e.g., C, C++).

  • Troubleshoot and resolve issues in embedded systems, firmware, or operating system-level code.

  • Document code thoroughly and contribute to technical design specifications and architecture discussions.

  • Maintain version control and follow secure and reliable software development practices.

Required Qualifications:

  • Bachelor s degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience).

  • Strong proficiency in at least one assembly language (e.g., x86, x64, IBM z/Architecture, ARM).

  • Solid understanding of processor architecture, memory models, and instruction sets.

  • Experience with low-level debugging tools and techniques (e.g., gdb, OllyDbg, ICE, JTAG).

  • Familiarity with hardware-software interactions, bootloaders, firmware, and system-level APIs.

  • Proficiency in C/C++ or other systems programming languages.

  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Experience with legacy systems (e.g., IBM Mainframes, DOS, embedded controllers).

  • Knowledge of real-time operating systems (RTOS) or embedded Linux.

  • Familiarity with compilers, linkers, and build tools for embedded development.

  • Exposure to cybersecurity, cryptographic algorithms, or secure coding in low-level environments.
