About ITRex
We are a global IT consulting and development company with a We Care attitude, striving to create momentum in our clients' digital transformation.

We've delivered over 600 solutions for companies like Take a Swing at Cancer, Procter & Gamble, Dun & Bradstreet, and the Dollar Shave Club. Our team of engineers, data specialists, designers, and AI experts know how to build systems that work under real conditions, not just in demos. Our tech stack spans everything from Java, Python, and JavaScript to Swift, Kotlin, and all the latest AI/ML frameworks. Pick your tools, own your code, and ship things that work. We value initiative, open communication and self‑motivated commitment rather than compliance and box‑ticking, and are looking for like‑minded individuals who share our passion about doing great new things together.

Collaborate with firmware, hardware, and systems engineering teams to define software‑hardware interfaces, communication protocols, and system architectures
Design and implement interprocess communication (IPC), data logging, and system diagnostics for distributed embedded systems
Support integration, testing, and deployment of embedded Linux software in lab and field environments
Contribute to continuous integration and testing infrastructure to enable rapid iteration and reliable deliveryApply best practices in embedded Linux development, including system security, performance optimization, and maintainable code design
What We're Looking For
Bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related discipline
5+ years of experience developing and maintaining embedded Linux systems
Deep understanding of Linux kernel architecture, driver development, and system startup (bootloaders, init systems, etc.)
Strong proficiency in C/C++ for system‑level development; familiarity with Python or Bash scripting
Experience with Yocto, Buildroot, or similar Linux build systems
Familiarity with networking protocols (TCP/IP, CAN, Modbus, MQTT, etc.) and hardware interfaces (I2C, SPI, UART)
Knowledge of embedded security, system monitoring, and performance optimization techniques
Excellent written communication and cross‑functional collaboration skills
English: Upper‑Intermediate or higher
Nice‑to‑have
Familiarity with functional safety or compliance standards (e.g., IEC 61508, ISO 26262, UL 1998, or similar)
Benefits
Real ownership of ideas and initiatives that shape how we and our clients adopt cutting‑edge embedded and intelligent systems
Freedom to explore — if you spot a promising tool, idea, or optimization, we'll back you to run with it
Collaboration with a diverse set of clients across industries — from energy and manufacturing to mobility and smart systems
A culture of curiosity, transparency, and zero office politics — where people speak up, support each other, and value impact over ego
Remote‑first flexibility with trust to manage your commitments
