System Software Engineer

Would you like to help build next-generation chipsets that power ultra-secure data communication and computing?

Are you excited by the idea of designing low-level system software at the cutting edge of embedded and platform engineering?

Do you want to play a pivotal role in protecting society from emerging threats like quantum computing and AI misuse?

This client is in an exciting hypergrowth phase, backed by deep technical leadership and a long-term product roadmap. Their current focus is on delivering robust system software tightly integrated with innovative processor architectures – and the biggest challenge is building performant, secure, and reliable low-level components that scale with their unique hardware.

I’m looking for someone who:
· Has in-depth experience with Linux system initialization, bootloaders, and device drivers
· Understands OS, chip, and emulation bring-up from the ground up
· Brings strong skills in low-level programming and debugging (C/C++/Rust, assembly)
· Has worked closely with hardware engineers in integrated development environments
· Is fluent in Dutch (mandatory requirement)

Who is interested in:
· Developing system software for advanced chipsets
· Leading hardware-software integration efforts
· Optimizing embedded and real-time systems
· Working on secure and high-performance computing platforms
· Participating in architecture-level hardware/software co-design

For a company who:
· Operates at the intersection of security, quantum resilience, and AI readiness
· Has a revolutionary approach to semiconductor design for secure data use
· Partners with top-tier experts and institutions to accelerate innovation
· Is deeply mission-driven, focusing on long-term impact and strategic product execution

We know we ask a lot but encourage you to apply even if you fit 80% of the role.
