Matic is a tight-knit and collaborative team, singularly focused on building products our customers will cherish. We’re ultra-hardworking people committed to solving tough problems thoroughly and quickly.

At Matic we are eager to take risks and test convention. We love diving headfirst into hard problems — even if it means some failures along the way. We work smart, hard, and long (and in that order), chasing innovation and human impact. We highly value individual ownership and take meticulous pride in the work we do, knowing our efforts affect both one another and our customers.

Individuals who value curiosity and learning and who don’t shy away from hard problems thrive at Matic. If you, like us, are genuinely committed to innovation and improving the lives of others, we’d love to hear from you.

All roles are fully onsite in our Mountain View office.

• Work with both EE and software teams to ensure feature feasibility & functionality

• Perform root cause analysis of system crashes and hardware failures

• Identify bugs & bottlenecks to improve system performance

• Develop and debug pipelines for data from cameras and other sensors

• Be an integral member of our small software team

What we look for

• Strong familiarity with userspace Linux programming and conventions & working knowledge of Linux kernel internals

• Deep experience in multi-threaded C

• Familiarity with a systems scripting language, such as Shell or Python

• Knowledge of common communication protocols (e.g. USB, RS232, TCP/IP/HTTP)

• Experience with working on C, or C++ microcontroller firmware is a big plus

• Comfort with a fast-paced, startup atmosphere -- you don’t shy away from the hard work

• High level of maturity, ownership, and pride in your work

We'd love to hear from you if...
