Sr. Embedded Developer

Project Overview:

We’re leading a high-stakes, greenfield software rebuild for a confidential client’s Innovation Division. The product is designed to be the flagship platform, unveiled by the CEO live on stage later this year.

You’ll join a nimble team of engineers and security experts under our Director of Engineering (Matt) and partner closely with a UX designer and a seasoned Software Architect. This is zero-to-one work — fast-moving, full of autonomy, and the chance to build something the right way after 18 months of legacy missteps.

What You’ll Do:

• Own the frontend build of an internal IT management portal for edge devices (think: high-security, air-gapped environments)
• Translate mockups and user stories into polished, performant React components
• Build secure interfaces to manage users, devices, and biometric authentication (locally hosted Keycloak)
• Collaborate with backend and embedded teams across the full lifecycle
• Work independently and contribute clean, scalable code without handholding

Required Skills:

• 6+ years of experience with React and TypeScript
• Strong understanding of REST APIs and state management
• Experience with authentication systems (Keycloak preferred)
• Understanding of identity and access control concepts (IAM portals, OAuth2/OIDC)
• Familiarity with device management or IoT environments
• Ability to write clean, modular, reusable components (no spaghetti code)

Nice to Have:

• Experience working in air-gapped or high-security environments
• Background in biometrics, RFID/NFC, or device provisioning
• Exposure to WiFi security protocols
• Previous experience with secure, local-first admin portals

Soft Skills:

• Strong execution mindset – get in and ship real product
• Comfortable in ambiguity — can work without all the pieces in place
• Low-ego, high-output – we don’t need heroes, just doers
• Willing to help “pull a team out of a hole” and turn around a project

Interview Process:

• 90-minute technical interview with Fuel Talent’s Principal Engineer
• NDA
• 45-minute video with Fuel Talent’s Director of Engineering
