We are looking for a Senior Embedded Linux Engineer
About Us At Privoro, we build hardware and software to tackle some of the hardest problems in mobile security. Our engineers make an outsized impact on our products, technical direction, and the way we build. We are looking for a Senior Embedded Linux Engineer whose strength is networking, not just general Linux platform development. If you enjoy diagnosing difficult connectivity problems, making secure communications dependable, and turning complex designs into reliable products, you will feel at home here. Your Impact You will help build the networking foundation of Privoro's secure connected products, taking meaningful ownership from prototypes through production. You will collaborate directly with firmware, electrical, security, test, and manufacturing engineers on problems where performance, reliability, and engineering judgment matter. What You'll Do Develop and troubleshoot Linux networking across wired, wireless, and mobile connectivity. Own routing, firewall behavior, secure network tunnels, and reliable recovery from changing network conditions. Build and maintain embedded Linux software, including platform integration, system services, and kernel-level configuration when needed. Diagnose problems across hardware, kernel, and user space using packet captures, tracing, and hands-on debug tools. Improve system reliability, software updates, performance, security, and automated device/network testing. Take work from prototype to release, collaborate across disciplines, and mentor teammates. What You'll Bring Hands-on experience developing, shipping, and debugging production embedded Linux products.
Strong Linux networking fundamentals:
TCP/IP, routing, firewalls, and practical packet-level troubleshooting. Experience with an embedded Linux environment such as Yocto, OpenEmbedded, OpenWrt, Buildroot, or similar. Proficiency with C/C++ and scripting, along with the ability to debug across system layers. Technical curiosity, ownership, clear communication, and a methodical approach to solving hard problems. Bonus Points Experience developing VPNs or secure networking functionality. ARM-based platforms, boot software, board bring-up, and hardware-aware debugging. Secure software updates, embedded security, or automated hardware testing. Open-source contributions, side projects, home-networking experiments, or other evidence of a passion for engineering. You do not need to check every box. We value engineering fundamentals, curiosity, and sound judgment. Location & Remote Working Our Phoenix headquarters is preferred for close collaboration with the hardware team, but qualified engineers in the US and Canada are welcome to apply. Remote engineers are expected to have a functional home lab for hands-on embedded work
JTAG/SWD
debugging tools, an oscilloscope and/or logic analyzer, and basic soldering capability. The setup need not be elaborate: Privoro provides development hardware, prototypes, and additional project-specific equipment as needed. Why Privoro? Join a collaborative team working on meaningful mobile-security challenges. We value curious engineers who question assumptions and turn difficult problems into practical solutions. Privoro offers a competitive compensation and benefits package designed to support our employees and their families, including: Competitive salary and 401(k) Stock options Medical, dental, and vision coverage Paid time off and company holidays Paid parental leave Professional development opportunities
