About the Role
R-Zero is a smart, agile company at an exciting inflection point. We are utilizing our IoT experience, and the sensors we have deployed in buildings around the world to slash energy waste and to save our customers millions of dollars. Our sensors and gateways connect our customers’ buildings to the power of modern software infrastructure.
We're looking for an experienced embedded software developer who's ready to do more than write great code: someone who wants to shape technical strategy, solve unique and complex problems, and help drive our business forward.
This role offers exceptional breadth and ownership for the right person. You'll work across our full embedded software stack—from close-to-the-metal firmware to edge-ML implementations to embedded Linux systems. You'll make critical architectural decisions, manage augmented teams, influence product direction, and build the cross-functional processes that will scale with us. If you've been waiting for a chance to move beyond narrow specialization and own something meaningful, this is it.

Why This Role Is Different
Most senior positions ask you to specialize. This one asks you to integrate.

For someone energized by variety, ownership, and the chance to build something significant, this is a rare opportunity.
