The Role

As an Embedded Software Engineer, you’ll design and develop low-level software for real-time systems. You’ll collaborate closely with hardware and systems teams and play a key role in delivering high-performance, reliable solutions.

Write efficient, scalable C++ code with a focus on performance and memory optimisation
Collaborate with hardware and firmware engineers to integrate software with physical systems
Debug issues at the hardware/software interface using specialist tools

Knowledge of real-time systems, multithreading, and interrupts
Familiarity with version control (Git)
Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail

Desirable:

Experience writing device drivers
Knowledge of embedded security or cryptography
Experience with Linux, RTOS (e.g. FreeRTOS, Zephyr), or bare-metal programming
Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and automated testing
Python or scripting experience for tooling
Exposure to distributed or networked embedded systems

What You’ll Bring

Strong ownership and accountability
Excellent communication and collaboration skills
A proactive approach to problem-solving
Accuracy, attention to detail, and commitment to quality
Professionalism when working with colleagues and stakeholders

Why Join Kraken?

Work on cutting-edge technology and real-world systems
Collaborate with highly skilled engineers
Opportunity to shape system architecture and innovation
Supportive, high-performance team environment

What we provide:

25 days holiday per year, plus paid bank holiday
After two years’ consecutive service, one additional day’s annual leave up to a maximum of five additional days annual leave
Holiday buy/sell, up to five days per calendar year
Flexi working, core hours 10:00 to 15:00, subject to departmental requirements
