9elements is the leading open-source firmware vendor in the world. Our engineers deliver production-grade open-source firmware for millions of servers everyday - and we are dedicated to open-source! We love being part of the community and we understand our responsibility to shape and drive the whole ecosystem forward!
We are actively involved in multiple open-source firmware projects like Caliptra (https://github.com/chipsalliance/caliptra) or OpenPRoT (https://github.com/OpenPRoT). Your job is it to work with our customers to push these projects forward and implement new features. Our customers are our heroes - and we dedicate our work time to craft the best possible solutions which aligns with upstream.
You will be working with the Rust Firmware team on various customer projects. The team sizes ranges from 1 to 3 engineers on one project. You will work with the team designing the architecture and implementing features into rust-based firmware stacks like Caliptra or OpenPRoT.
You are open-source at the heart. Your mission is to shape this ecosystem with us and break the ties to the proprietary world. 9elements and you have one mission: Change how we develop firmware and make open-source the standard.
You profile:
- Being able to deep dive into technical issue - You love code and love debugging issues down to the core (which can be hardware - sometimes)
- You're fluent in English - English is our business language, internal and external and you should be able to communicate with it.
- You like working with Open-Source - sounds obvious but working with the open-source communities can be challenging sometimes. You have to be able to find the best possible solutions for our customer and the community.
- Be engaged - At 9elements we help each other. Our mission is big: We transform the firmware industry - it takes dedication and team effort to tear down this ecosystem and build it up from scratch again.
We love open-source and we want you! We think our employee's are our biggest benefit that we have compared to the rest of the industry. We will try to make everything possible so that we can to craft the job that you need to be happy.
As part of this role you will be working with some top-notch industry experts in the openBMC field. We know how important open-source work is and we reserve time within your work time to interact with the community, review patches and be part of working groups. Every employee at 9elements also get the chance to:
- Regular visit industry conferences like OCP EMEA/Global Summit
- Be part of our own conference - the Open-Source Firmware Conference (https://www.osfc.io)
- Currently Rust has a relative small footprint in firmware - You will be part of the team that changes this forever!
- Choose your platform: Lenovo or Framework? We got you! You want to run Arch? sure thing. Choose your platform where you can work best.
- Full Remote: We are headquartered in Germany and all the hardware is in our labs here. You can be around the world - we enable you to fully develop remotely.
- Your schedule: We need your work time to overlap a couple of hours with the German work time. Other than that - shape your work time as you need it to be as long as you get the job done.
9elements is a home for coders and designers, a place for the makers and shakers, a playground for the crazy ones. It could be yours as well.
