What are the responsibilities and job description for the Senior Software engineer (Linux, Rust, Python, C) position at Veo?
Veo is a global leader in AI-based sports camera technology. Our innovative, fully automatic camera solution enables sports teams to record matches and training sessions without a camera operator. We’re democratizing the world of sports by granting video analysis for teams on all levels—a privilege that used to be only for the few. More than 40,000 clubs in 90 countries record their games every week.
But what truly sets us apart? Our people. We’re a diverse group of innovative thinkers, creators, and problem-solvers who believe in delivering an incredible product—and having fun while doing it.
The Opportunity
At the heart of our technology is an embedded Linux–based camera system that records sports matches using multiple sensors. Using our advanced video processing algorithms, these streams are stitched together to present one continuous playfield.
Our AI and cloud teams then process the video using proprietary models that lead the industry in our field, enabling players and coaches to access detailed statistics such as goals, ball possession, passes, and more.
While dedicated teams own most of the video processing and AI development, you will interface closely with both worlds and have the opportunity to gain exposure across these domains.
Most work in this role focuses on Rust- and Python-based user-space Linux applications, Linux platform engineering, and firmware architecture, rather than low-level hardware or driver development. Our firmware stack primarily uses Rust, Python, and C, and fluency in at least two of these languages is preferred.
\n- Develop and maintain Rust- and Python-based user-space applications running on Veo’s embedded Linux camera platform.
- Contribute to firmware architecture and Linux platform engineering for our camera system.
- Build and maintain integrations with cloud services, including REST APIs, OpenTelemetry, and AWS S3.
- Implement wireless communication features using BLE and Wi-Fi for connectivity with mobile devices.
- Develop and maintain application-layer protocols, including GATT services, Protobuf-based communication, and data serialization.
- Collaborate closely with AI, video processing, and cloud teams to support the broader camera platform.
- Improve system reliability and observability through diagnostics, state management, and monitoring.
- At least 5 years of experience and a background in electrical or software engineering.
- Strong foundation in modern software development practices, architecture, and design patterns.
- Experience building and evolving user-space applications in Rust or Python, with a focus on clean APIs, testability, and maintainability across an embedded device fleet.
- Experience developing software for embedded Linux systems (Yocto), including system services, D-Bus, device trees, state management, and diagnostics.
- Experience integrating embedded systems with cloud services such as REST APIs, OpenTelemetry, and AWS S3, including debugging and operational troubleshooting.
- Experience building applications that integrate BLE and Wi-Fi, including GATT services, connection management, Protobuf-based protocols, and communication with mobile devices.
- Familiarity with MCU development and RTOS environments are a nice to have. While most work happens in Linux user-space, exposure to low-level firmware or peripheral interfacing can be helpful when interacting with MCU firmware.
- Languages: Rust, Python, C
- Embedded Linux: Yocto / OpenEmbedded / meta-tegra
