Why Us?

We’re the Embedded Linux team at CloudWorks, a close-knit group of six passionate people who develop and maintain our secure embedded access gateway and its supporting infrastructure, including build, CI, validation, monitoring, and deployment. We enjoy tackling new subsystems and hardware, quickly learning by diving into documentation, source code, and prototyping, and we lean on each other’s expertise when needed.

Our work revolves around secure, resource-constrained embedded Linux systems, covering everything from boot loaders and Buildroot to kernel configuration, networking, and cloud connectivity. We also handle CI/CD, testing, and APIs, and we design and maintain our automated regression rigs.

We work mainly in C++, Python 3, and bash, and value clean, modular code, TDD, and security. When support requests arise, we draw on our deep understanding of the systems and how they interact with backend services and networks to find solutions.

We’re driven to constantly improve our product and contribute to making the SALTO KS experience better for everyone.
