Hi,
I am looking for a job either remote or hybrid around Karlsruhe.

I am comfortable with C, C++, Python, Go and Rust and I can work on any area of a Linux operating system.
At SUSE I also debugged a variety of kernel issues and even wrote downstream patches for SUSE Linux.

@tammeow Your CV sounds very nice. Apply and come to my team: https://www.edag.com/de/karriere/stellenanzeigen/detail/senior-softwareentwickler-embedded-linux-41242
Even though not listed, Karlsruhe and (near) full remote is possible.
We are a relatively small and chaotic team.😉
If you want, you can refer my name in your application. I get a hire bonus then, if a contract is signed.

@poeschel hey this looks nice. so if you are in the team of that listing, can you tell me more about what it is like?
from reading the posting i would assume that you are working together with customers.
@tammeow yep, I am in this team. Well we are an engineering company and aquire projects from different company's. Our team has HW and SW Engineers, so we can develop and even build small quantities of new HW in-house. We also have FPGA people and do this kind of stuff.
Work often is to bring up linux. But often also inculding applications on top of linux.
We normally stop at the user interface / cloud level. This stuff is done in other teams.
@tammeow And yes it involves speaking to customers - at least about technical stuff. Other stuff is normally handled by our project leaders.

@shine i have not thanks. wondering if they don't use Linux and program micro controllers instead.
@shine oh this position is rather about being an educator and teacher though.
@tammeow https://www.unicon.com/ might be interesting. But not sure if they're hiring, they were recently acquired by Citrix.
