Embedded Systems Engineer

Embedded Systems Engineer (Partner-Facing)

Help Protect the World's Critical Infrastructure

At Crytica Security, we're solving a problem most cybersecurity companies can't.

Our technology protects operational technology (OT), industrial systems, IoT devices, and embedded environments where traditional security tools simply don't work.

We're looking for an Embedded Systems Engineer who loves working close to hardware, enjoys solving difficult technical problems, and wants to help build technology that protects critical infrastructure around the world.

What You'll Do

This isn't a role where you'll sit behind a ticket queue.

You'll work directly with Crytica's engineering team and our technology partners to bring our malware detection platform onto new embedded devices.

One week you might be debugging firmware on a constrained edge device.

The next you'll be collaborating with a partner engineering team to understand a completely new hardware platform.

You'll own integrations from technical discovery through successful deployment while helping shape how our software evolves.

What You'll Work On

• Bringing Crytica's detection platform to new embedded and edge devices
• Writing efficient system-level software in C/C++ (Rust experience is a plus)
• Investigating hardware capabilities and software constraints
• Working alongside senior engineers on architecture decisions
• Collaborating directly with partner engineering teams
• Troubleshooting complex device and integration issues
• Improving performance on resource-constrained hardware

What We're Looking For

You don't need to check every box.

We're looking for engineers who love learning and solving difficult technical challenges.

Ideally you'll have experience with:

• C or C++
• Linux or embedded Linux
• Git
• System-level programming
• Firmware or embedded development
• Debugging complex hardware/software interactions

Bonus points if you've worked with:

• Operational Technology (OT)
• Industrial control systems
• Firmware flashing
• BIOS development
• Edge computing
• Networking protocols

Why Crytica?

You'll be joining an early-stage cybersecurity company solving problems that matter.

Our software protects infrastructure where downtime isn't an inconvenience, it's a national security issue.

You'll work alongside experienced engineers, have a direct impact on the product, and help shape technology deployed around the world.

If you enjoy building things that actually matter, we'd love to meet you.
