Design and develop C/C++ applications, shell scripts, daemons, libraries, and command-line tools for BusyBox or full Linux distributions

Create modular, testable code that interfaces with device drivers and hardware peripherals (I2C, SPI, UART, USB)

Implement IPC layers (shared memory, TIPC) and networking protocols (TCP/UDP, REST/JSON, gRPC, MQTT) for cloud service integration

Optimize memory footprint and CPU usage for resource-constrained environments

Develop robust error handling, watchdog recovery mechanisms, and OTA update capabilities

Collaborate with cross-functional teams to deliver high-quality embedded solutions

Required Skills and Qualifications

Professional experience developing C and/or modern C++ (11/14/17) on Embedded Linux platforms

Solid understanding of Linux internals (process scheduling, memory management, file systems, udev) and cross-compilation toolchains (Yocto, CMake)

Hands-on experience with multithreading (pthreads or std::thread), synchronization primitives, and real-time constraints

Proficiency with Git, Gerrit or GitHub, and CI/CD (Jenkins, GitLab CI)

BS/MS Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related field, or equivalent practical experience

Nice-to-have Skills

Familiarity with RFID or other RF protocols

Experience integrating secure boot, TPM, or trusted execution environments

Knowledge of graphical frameworks (VueJS) or web-based UIs (HTML, JavaScript)

At CI&T, we bring Collaboration, Innovation & Transformation to life through cutting-edge technology solutions. Join our team where AI-driven approaches merge with embedded systems expertise to create impactful solutions. We foster a culture where your technical skills will flourish in a diverse, supportive environment that values continuous learning.
