Wemolo builds its own hardware and its own AI to make that happen. More than 7,000 of our scanners run on around 4,000 parking sites across Europe and have processed over 1.3 billion parking events: unattended, outdoors, around the clock.\nAs Senior IoT Engineer (all genders), you join our Devices team and bridge both worlds: you own our Yocto-based Linux software platform and actively build the Python application services running on top of it. Python is your daily driver, but you go down to C/C++, drivers, and the kernel whenever hardware requires it. Neither pure BSP-only engineers nor high-level-only developers will be happy here - this is a true hybrid hands-on role.\nRight now, we are building a new generalized Linux based platform for our next-generation hardware, harmonizing the software across all device types and making fleet health visible in real time. You do this in a profitable Munich scale-up with more than 250 people in five European locations: the pace of a fast-growing company and the stability to build things properly.\nAs we are looking for a hands-on developer, a live coding session is an integral part of our interview process.\nWHAT TO EXPECT\nNext-Gen OS Image: Design and build our new Yocto-based Linux image for the next hardware generation, and drive the migration of our fleet onto it.\n\nHardware Abstraction: Harmonize the software across scanners, payment terminals and screens into one maintainable codebase.\n\nFleet Updates: Design OS and application updates that never brick a device: A/B partitions, staged rollouts and clean versioning across hardware variants.\n\nFleet Observability: Build monitoring that shows the health of every device in real time, from memory leaks to network stability and hardware metrics.\n\nDebugging: Find root causes across kernel, drivers, networking, memory and application code, on devices hundreds of kilometers away.\n\nTechnical Guidance: Bring senior judgment into architecture discussions with our IoT Platform, Backend and AI teams, document decisions and mentor engineers.\n\nINSPIRE US BY\nEmbedded Linux Expertise: Hands-on experience building and maintaining embedded Linux products that are deployed in the field, ideally at fleet scale, and confidence working with Linux internals, GNU tools, and Bash\n\nBackground: Degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Physics, or equivalent practical experience\n\nYocto Experience: Proven experience building, customizing, and maintaining Linux images using Yocto\n\nPython Development: Strong Python skills - Python will be your primary development language in this role\n\nSystems Programming: Strong programming skills in at least one systems language such as C++, Rust, Go, or Java\n\nOperating System & Debugging: Solid understanding of Linux internals, bootloaders, systemd, drivers, kernel concepts, networking, and Docker, plus hands-on experience with debugging tools such as GDB, tcpdump, Valgrind, UART, and JTAG\n\nSenior Mindset: You clarify requirements before designing a solution, consider the impact on other teams, and are comfortable making and defending technical decisions\n\nCommunication: You explain complex technical topics clearly and in a structured way, in fluent English (C1)\n\nEXTRA POINTS FOR\nExperience operating large-scale IoT fleets\n\nKnowledge of industrial hardware, cameras, AI accelerators, modems, or network devices\n\nExperience with computer vision, edge AI, or machine learning\n\nFamiliarity with MQTT and Protocol Buffers (ProtoBuf)\n\nGerman language skills\n\nWhat we offer\nFlexibility & Responsibility: Your workday, your performance - Our hybrid model empowers you to focus from home, get fresh perspectives during workation, and connect in person during our Anchor Days (Tuesday to Thursday)\n\nTailored Mobility: Full speed ahead - Whether it’s sustainable bike leasing or a public transport subsidy, we keep you flexible and on the move\n\nMeasurable goals: Our agile methods allow you to directly measure your impact on our product and company success\n\nTeam Culture & Networking: Real connections - also beyond the day-to-day. Celebrate successes with us at legendary team events and OKR parties\n\nProductive Environment: Brainfood deluxe - Whether it's portafilter coffee, Bella&Bona online cafeteria, fresh fruit or our muesli bar - your wellbeing fuels your performance\n\nHealth & Balance: Stay in balance with EGYM Wellpass or Urban Sports Club - access 1,000+ gyms and wellness spots across Germany\n\nTop Equipment & Ergonomics: Mac or Windows, in the office or remote - we make sure you’re set up for efficiency and comfort\n\nDress Code? Your Code: What you do matters more than what you wear - dress in whatever makes you feel your best\n\nInnovation through diversity\nRegardless of your background, origin, gender identity, or individual circumstances, it's your personality that interests us. That's why we're committed to building a culture of collaboration and respect, where every team member has a voice, can grow, and feels valued with us.\nStill here?\nThen we might be the perfect match!\nReady to own (y)our growth?","description_format":"text","description_chars":5127,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"language":"German","level":"All levels","optional":false},{"language":"English","level":"Advanced (C1)","optional":false}]},"benefits":["Cafeteria"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"Germany","iso":"DE","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Smart Mobility","Computer Vision","Smart City"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-30T17:06:17Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":1,"expected_fill_days":28,"reasons":["conf:3","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-11-01T06:10:25Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/wemolo-senior-iot-engineer-all-genders-embedded-linux-python-yocto","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/wemolo-senior-iot-engineer-all-genders-embedded-linux-python-yocto.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-01T13:01:07Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":20103,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-02T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":5806},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=5806"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fwemolo-senior-iot-engineer-all-genders-embedded-linux-python-yocto"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fwemolo-senior-iot-engineer-all-genders-embedded-linux-python-yocto"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fwemolo-senior-iot-engineer-all-genders-embedded-linux-python-yocto"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/wemolo-senior-iot-engineer-all-genders-embedded-linux-python-yocto\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fwemolo-senior-iot-engineer-all-genders-embedded-linux-python-yocto"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3534415}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"wemolo.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3534415},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
