Summary
✨ AI‑Generated
Design and maintain a Rust-based edge runtime and orchestration platform for AI workloads across heterogeneous devices. You will solve challenging systems problems involving constrained compute, cross-architecture builds, OTA lifecycle management, reproducible CI/CD, and production observability, while optimizing inference across CPU, GPU, and NPU hardware.
Highlights
Highly technical expert-level role with substantial influence over architecture and technical direction, focused on edge AI infrastructure, heterogeneous hardware, secure builds, and production observability.
Description
You will build and sustain the platform alongside Windriver team that runs AI Systems on the device— a Rust-based system that manages AI application lifecycles across a heterogeneous fleet of edgehardware.
This is hands-on work on hard systems problems: constrained compute, cross-architecture builds,OTA updates, and production-grade observability.
You will have real infl uence over architecture andtechnical direction, and you are expected to make AI tooling a core part of how you work.
YOUR ROLE
Design and implement the edge packaging and runtime system — a containerless / OCI-basedapproach to shipping AI Systems to heterogeneous devicesMaintain the on-device orchestration platform (daemon, CLI, IPC, libraries), including OTA updateand lifecycle management for fielded devicesOptimize inference and resource usage on constrained CPU/GPU/NPU hardwareHarden cross-compilation and CI/CD pipelines for reproducible, secure multi-architecture buildsIntegrate the device fl eet with the cloud control plane and backend services (REST/gRPC,OpenAPI, MQTT)Guide technical direction for core platform componentsUse agentic AI coding tools daily for implementation, refactoring, review, and debugging, withreal judgment about where they help and where they don'tRaise the team's AI-assisted engineering practice: working patterns, guardrails, and what stayshuman-ownedBuilding AI culture inside and outside of teamKeep the codebase and its documentation in a state that people can work in effectively
YOUR BACKGROUND
Degree in Computer Science, Machine Learning, or a related fi eld, with 3+ years of software engineering experience including 2+ years in embedded Linux or systems programmingProduction proficiency in Rust or Python (C/C++ for native libraries and low-level device code is a plus)Hands-on experience using agentic AI tools in the software development workflow— AI coding assistants and agents for implementation, refactoring, and review — and a clear point of view on their limitsLow-level fundamentals: memory, concurrency, the build/link toolchain, and how software actually runs on constrained hardwareExperience with PyTorch, TensorFlow Lite, ONNX, or TensorRT.Strong debugging and problem-solving on complex, distributed systemsEffective in a team distributed across the US, Europe, and IndiaBroad range across the stack, including cloud, edge and web/backend developmentUnderstanding of networking stack
Nice to have:
an ML inference runtime (ONNX, TensorRT, TFLite, OpenVINO) and the practicalrealities of running models on-device; hardware-accelerated inference on NPUs/GPUs (Jetson,Qualcomm, Hailo, Ambarella); GenAI/LLM tooling, RAG pipelines, or ML infrastructure; multi-arch andembedded Linux builds (Yocto); a major cloud provider (AWS, GCP, Azure); GitLab CI
