Are you ready to be part of a Platform Engineering team serving 900 developers with an Internal Developer Platform (IDP) which automates what is required to build, test and release AXIS OS, the embedded Linux distribution that powers our products? If you are passionate about large scale build systems and are looking for the possibility to work with like-minded professionals, then this can be the perfect opportunity for you!

Your future team
You will be part of a Platform Engineering team with 31 software engineers, divided into small, highly collaborative, and autonomous sub-teams. Together with your future colleagues you provide an Internal Developer Platform that is used by Axis developers to create daily releases of AXIS OS, used in over 200 different Axis products. The IDP is built with a mix of open-source software, internally developed tools, and vendor licensed software. We're active in several open-source communities and you're encouraged to contribute to and engage with them.

You and your teammates own the sub-team backlog, and you are responsible for the evolution of your area of responsibility. You are encouraged to explore new ideas and technologies, and your teammates will be available for feedback and support. We are great at what we do, and we are sure you will be inspired by our drive to always improve and learn more. The products you will work on are used by AXIS OS developers every day and you will be challenged and learn much from working close with them to improve their quality of life.

Our culture is characterized by openness, trust, and collaboration. Work/life balance and hanging out with your teammates at common fikas, lunches, and other social activities are important to us and our success. Like the rest of Axis, we don't let ourselves get stuck in rigid processes. Rather, we rely on the Axis Act As One spirit and work closely to achieve our shared goals.

What will you do as a Yocto build system engineer?
You will join a small team of senior developers focusing on developing and maintaining our Yocto based build system. A key selling point for Axis devices is that we run the same operating system, AXIS OS, in all our devices, easing integration in customer and partner systems. You will work in close collaboration with AXIS OS developers to understand their needs and pain points and how the build system can support them in their daily work-life.
This will give you an idea of what you'll be working on:

* Introduce and establish the use of new features that are introduced by the Yocto project
* Keeping AXIS OS updated with Poky releases from Yocto
* Improve cyber and supply chain security
* Work in close cooperation with AXIS OS developers to understand their needs and how we can help them by improving our tools and services
* Identify and resolve technical challenges such as reproducibility, caching, structure of recipes and packages in a build system that is used by 900 developers that triggers around 50k builds any given day
* Contribute to Yocto and other open-source projects.

Who are we looking for/Who are you?
We are looking for an open, creative, and pragmatic problem solver that likes to combine long-term thinking and structure with the here and now that naturally follows from working closely with users. You are motivated by new challenges and are eager to learn, but you also get energy from helping others grow by sharing your knowledge. Like us, you value teamwork and want to contribute to our great team spirit. Finally, you prefer Linux over Windows

We would love to hear that you have:

* University degree in Computer Science or a comparable qualification.
* Professional experience from working with Linux build systems
* Solid understanding of software development process and life cycle with focus on Continuous Integration (CI)
* A few years' experience with scripting languages such as Python, Bash and Perl

The following qualifications are a plus:

* Hands-on experience from working with Yocto/BitBake/OpenEmbedded
* Knowledge of Linux kernel, device drivers and bootloader configuration
* Experience of open-source contribution
* An understanding of embedded development
* Experience with git and code review tools, e.g. Gerrit

What Axis has to offer!
At Axis you will be able to grow as a developer and use your creativity to experiment and from time to time make mistakes that can be a valuable source of new knowledge. Working with the Internal Developer Platform you will get immediate user feedback. You will work closely with experienced experts, developers and testers that love to overcome technical challenges together. Our culture is characterized by openness, trust, and collaboration. Finally, check out Engineering at Axis to get an insight into who we are.
