Software Tools Developer (DevEx)

Are you interested in creating top-notch Developer Experiences (DevEx) and have what it takes to become part of an ambitious team?

Are you curious and eager to learn? And are you looking for a career where you make a real difference for millions of hearing aid users worldwide?

Then we have a unique opportunity for you! 

Welcome to Connectivity & Embedded Software

In the Connectivity & Embedded Software (CESW) Tools department, we have 25 colleagues who work together in developing some of the best hearing care solutions in the world.

In your new position you will be part of our DevEx team, currently counting 5 colleagues. The working environment is informal and humorous, yet also highly ambitious. 

“The DevEx team shapes the future of developer experience within Device Software. We want to provide the best possible development environment for our users, who primarily are software engineers working with embedded software development for hearing instruments under Linux.” Says your new manager Per Sandholm and continues “This in short means providing great tooling, top-notch automation, and removing any kind of friction within the development process.” 

The CESW Tools department is a part of Device Software in R&D. One of the things that makes working in Demant R&D so interesting, is that we have everything under one roof. We do everything including our own chipset, firmware and hardware. We have our own production facilities, and our own sales organization. In other words, if you have a question, the answer is literally only a few steps away.

Improving developer experience

The goal of our users is to deliver the most advanced low-power audio-enabled device, living up to medical device standards. This means you should ideally understand embedded C code running in a resource constrained environment.

You will be working on improving developer experience within:

• Optimization of build flows, 
• Development environment (editors, debuggers, command lines, tools, packaging, IaC, reproducibility).
• Build, test, documentation debug tooling. 

You probably have a degree in Computer Science or Computer Engineering. Furthermore, you have at least 3 years of experience within software development, DevOps or DevEx.

You may have practical experience with profiling and optimizing workflows, but most importantly you’re eager to build sustainable software development culture.

We expect that you come from a similar domain, have experience with DevOps and are interested in working with DevEx. You likely have experience with developing tools however this is not a requirement.

Some of the skills we are looking for you can see below. However, we do not expect you to have experience in all of them, but it would be great if you are curious to learn more about them.

• Python, C or Java programming. 
• build systems (make, SCons, gcc toolchains).
• Git, Gerrit (submodules and plumbing commands).
• Docker.
• Nix (package manager, NixOS).
• Unix/POSIX programming and scripting.
• ARM microprocessor architectures.
• Linux and its subsystems.

Our mission

Our mission is clear; We want hearing impaired to be able to experience the sounds of life. This is the foundation for everything we do. This is what encourages us and keeps us focused on innovation and efficiency.

We believe that the best results come from a fruitful team effort. We support each other and constantly provide feedback and knowledge to improve our results. We have an informal and creative atmosphere where respect is pivotal, and we strive for a common goal.
