A Day in the Life
The Connectivity Platform Software Development team maintains the eeroOS across all hardware, builds features in Golang and Python, and upholds the operating system and build infrastructure used by multiple product teams. You will contribute to sustaining and evolving the platform that powers all eero devices, working across hardware, firmware, and software domains to deliver reliable, scalable solutions.
About the Team
The Platform Software Development team owns eeroOS, the embedded Linux based operating system powering all eero devices, along with the software build infrastructure, Smart Home Hub integration, and automation tooling used by feature teams across the organization. The team operates at the intersection of embedded systems and modern software engineering, delivering reliable, high-performance services on resource constrained networking hardware deployed in millions of homes. They also triage and resolve customer issues across production, beta, and dogfood deployments, collaborating with Cloud, Data, and Mobile app teams.
