  • Collaborate with embedded software, electrical systems, and cloud engineering teams.

  • Influence architecture, secure development practices, and risk management across multiple product lines.

Required Qualifications
  • 8+ years of software development experience with strong Python backend development.

  • Full-stack development experience with emphasis on backend infrastructure.

  • Experience working with Linux operating systems and distributions.

  • Strong knowledge of cryptographic security controls for embedded systems.

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Software Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.

Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience developing IoT devices.

  • Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) expertise, including certificate lifecycle management and key protection.

  • DevOps experience, including CI/CD practices.

  • Experience developing AWS-native applications.

  • Knowledge of connected vehicle or embedded security architectures.
