• reverse engineering tools and techniques.

Please note that although the skills and technologies listed above are highly valued for this position, we understand that not every candidate will have experience with all of them. We welcome candidates who are passionate about open-source and resonate with our company culture, regardless of their level of experience with specific technologies. Whether you have experience working with firmware, operating systems, or other aspects of embedded development, we believe that with passion and authenticity, we can teach the necessary skills to the right candidate. So, if you're excited about working with us and making a difference in the open-source community, we encourage you to apply, even if you only have experience with some of the technologies listed. Our company values continuous learning and growth, and we are committed to supporting our team members in developing their skills and pursuing their career goals.

We offer the opportunity to work on open-source projects and collaborate with the community of world-class industry leaders as well as work with some of the most prominent vendors to build your own portfolio through contributions. As a team member, you'll impact the product and its final shape with opportunities for professional development, flexible working hours, and employment conditions.

We also provide training and certification to help our team members build their skills and advance in their careers. Our comprehensive benefits package includes medical care, financial support for sports cards, group insurance, and the ability to work in a hybrid or fully remote system, depending on individual arrangements.

In addition, we offer opportunities to attend international open-source conferences, some of which we co-organize with other companies, providing our team members with a chance to showcase their skills and expertise. We also organize and host our community events, such as workshops and community calls, where team members can share their knowledge and network with other industry professionals.
