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 Linux Application Engineer (all genders) in our IoT team, you build the software foundation for all our Linux-based devices, on ARM and x86. At its core is a platform layer that unifies shared components such as health monitoring and logging. Every device type then works the same way, and product features build on one solid base.\nThe role combines architecture and hands-on engineering: clean, object-oriented software, plus ownership of how it is built, deployed, updated and monitored across the fleet. Your code sits close to the hardware but runs on top of Linux.\nKernel development and microcontroller firmware are not part of the job. If well-designed software for Linux devices is your thing, you’ll feel at home here.\nAs we are looking for a hands-on developer, a live coding session is an integral part of our interview process.\nWhat to expect\nUnified platform layer: Design and build a platform layer that covers all our device types, both ARM and x86. It provides shared components such as health monitoring, logging, configuration, OTA updates and hardware abstraction.\n\nSoftware architecture: Define clear interfaces between the platform and the applications on top of it. Consolidate the codebase so that new device types and components plug in easily.\n\nApplication development: Build Python services on top of the platform, inside our dockerized main application.\n\nDevice integration: Connect peripherals such as modems, watchdogs, cameras and AI accelerators through existing drivers, SDKs and Linux interfaces, behind a clean hardware abstraction.\n\nReliability and observability: Make our fleet secure, resilient and transparent through OTA updates, networking, inter-process communication and fleet-wide monitoring of device health.\n\nDebugging: Analyze and solve complex issues at application and system level, such as memory leaks, network instability or service failures.\n\nOwnership and mentoring: Take end-to-end responsibility, guide other engineers technically, and raise our engineering standards.\n\nInspire us by\nSenior software engineering experience: 5+ years of professional software development, with a strong part of it on Linux-based devices or edge systems.\n\nStrong OOP skills: Deep experience with object-oriented design in (preferably) Python. Experience in another OOP language such as C++, Java or Rust is a plus.\n\nArchitecture know-how: You have designed and evolved software architectures, applied design patterns, and made trade-off decisions you can explain clearly. Ideally you have built a platform, framework or shared library that other teams or services build on.\n\nIoT background: Hands-on experience building software for connected devices, ideally operated as a fleet in the field.\n\nLinux user-space expertise: Solid knowledge of Linux, systemd, networking, IPC, Bash and Docker, ideally across different hardware architectures (ARM and x86).\n\nDebugging skills: Experience troubleshooting system-level issues with tools such as GDB, tcpdump, Valgrind or profilers.\n\nEngineering mindset: Degree in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.\n\nLanguage skills: Fluent English (C1).\n\nStrong plus\nExperience building, customizing and maintaining Linux images with Yocto.\n\nExperience operating large-scale IoT fleets, including OTA updates and device monitoring\n\nFamiliarity with MQTT and Protocol Buffers (ProtoBuf)\n\nKnowledge of industrial hardware, cameras, AI accelerators, modems or network devices\n\nExperience with edge AI, computer vision or machine learning\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":5398,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":5,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"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":"2026-11-11T18:59:27Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":0,"expected_fill_days":40,"reasons":["conf:2","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-11-11T21:29:48Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/wemolo-senior-linux-application-engineer-all-genders-python-iot-edge","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/wemolo-senior-linux-application-engineer-all-genders-python-iot-edge.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-11T21:29:48Z","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":42230,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-12T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01,"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-linux-application-engineer-all-genders-python-iot-edge"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":2,"usd":0.2},"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-linux-application-engineer-all-genders-python-iot-edge"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01},"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-linux-application-engineer-all-genders-python-iot-edge"},{"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-linux-application-engineer-all-genders-python-iot-edge\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fwemolo-senior-linux-application-engineer-all-genders-python-iot-edge"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":4086257}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"wemolo.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":4086257},"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.
