Tech Lead, Embedded Platform

At a big company, the platform layer is a hundred engineers, and you own a slice of it. A driver. A subsystem. A corner of the

release pipeline. You go deep, but you rarely get to hold the whole thing. With us you will. One team owns the entire layer: the

operating system and firmware on every Airtame, the streaming stack underneath it, the releases that reach devices in the field,

and the work of turning new hardware into a shipping product.

The role is roughly 60% hands-on the hardest problems and 40%

growing the engineers who work on them.

We're around 55 people, headquartered in Copenhagen, and

you'd work from there or remotely from within the EU. We make the hardware and the software that runs on it, so a change you make

to the firmware ships to every Airtame in the field. The team is cross-functional and spread across Europe, and it reaches a

global market from a small base.

Take AirPlay and Miracast from beta to

default​. They're in beta today. A year from now they should be solid enough to ship on by default across the Airtame

product line, so customers get them without opting in and never have to think about which protocol they're using. Judge it by

connection success rates on the fleet, and by how many customers rely on them day to day.

Make firmware releases

boring​. The best release is the one nobody has to think about: a predictable cadence, an automated quality bar, and

shipping to the whole fleet as routine. A year from now, cutting a release should be a low-drama process the team trusts, and that

should let you ship improvements more often. Judge it by release frequency, and by the confidence behind each one.

Turn the next board into a shipping Airtame​. New silicon has to boot, hold a network, manage its heat, and run

conferencing well enough to sell. By year-end there's a repeatable path from a board landing on a desk to a build QA can test, and

you own it. Judge it by how long that path takes, and whether the thermal and acoustic targets hold.

Lead the

team​. You'll run the 1:1s, set the technical bar, and support team members' growth. The measure is simple: a year in, the

team runs on your leadership day to day.

Push AI-assisted development further.​ The team already builds

with AI daily. You'll lead the next step: sharper workflows, better tooling choices, new patterns that make the whole group

faster. By year-end, the team's AI practices should be visibly ahead of where they started.

Who you are​

• The player-coach​. You've set a team's technical direction: the architecture calls, the reviews where the hard

problems get caught. And you want the people side too. Growing engineers, running 1:1s, hiring. You're not looking to trade one

for the other. Maybe you've been a staff engineer or tech lead ready to own a team, or a manager who never stopped writing code.

Either way, 60/40 sounds about right to you.

• At home where software meets hardware​. Embedded

Linux is your familiar ground: the kernel, the BSP, userspace, C and C++ running on the device itself. You've spent time close to

the metal: wireless stacks, streaming protocols, drivers. You can reason about a bug whether it lives in the firmware, the

network, or the silicon.

• You ship to hardware you can't reach​. When it's firmware on a device

mounted in someone's meeting room, a bad release doesn't just roll back with a hotfix. You've owned software that ships to the

field, so staged rollouts, over-the-air updates, and testing on the devices themselves come naturally. "Works on my bench" isn't

the finish line for you.

• You've turned new hardware into a product​. Bare silicon arrives, and

someone has to make it boot, talk to the network, manage its heat, and eventually stream. You've done that kind of bringup, or

worked close enough to it to lead the people who do.

• You use AI as a daily tool.​ You write code

with it, debug with it, prototype with it. You've formed your own view on where it speeds things up and where it gets in the way,

and you help the people around you do the same.

Logistics​

Location: Remote in Europe, or hybrid

from our Copenhagen office.

Employment type: Full-time preferred. We're also open to a project-based contract scoped to

delivering the native protocol implementations.

• A shift worth

architecting. Airtame's software is moving onto a widening range of devices, including hardware from partners. Leading Platform

now means designing for that spread, a bigger and more open problem than keeping one hardware line running.

• A span you

can hold. From the bootloader to the release that reaches the field, the whole layer is one person's to shape here, at a size

where you can still keep it in your head.

• A healthy work-life balance.
• Significant responsibility and ownership

over projects and your field of expertise.

• Five weeks paid vacation and 5 days of extra paid AirtameFlex days.

• Flexible work environment, with a hybrid mindset.
• Pension and private health insurance (on FTE Copenhagen

contract).

Airtame is an equal opportunity employer. We have colleagues across the globe, with both in-office and

full-time remote workers. This feeds into our international hybrid mindset, with people from 25+ nationalities that make up the

Airtame team.

Our work-life cultural balance is key to our success. Our team encompasses our values of trust and open

communication to support each other and to collaborate in a fun and collective way.
