Embedded C / Python Developer (Contract role)

We are looking for an experienced Embedded C / Python Developer to join our team 🎮. This role is focused on code generation, compilation pipelines, and hardware interaction for a configurable game platform. If you enjoy working close to hardware and building flexible systems driven by user-defined logic - we’d love to talk.

🌍 ABOUT THE PROJECT

The project is a customizable game platform where end users define game scenarios through a web interface.

User input is stored as JSON configurations, which are then used to:

• generate C code using Jinja templates
• compile the generated code
• run the resulting program directly on a physical device (provided)

The device reacts to programmed scenarios with different effects such as:

• LED control
• position handling on a map
• sounds and other interactive behaviors

A partial generation and compilation mechanism already exists. Your task will be to finalize and extend it, covering all client requirements and ensuring stable execution on the device.

 TECH STACK

• C
• Python
• Jinja
• CMake
• JSON-based configuration

• Embedded / hardware-oriented development

   

 RESPONSIBILITIES

✅ Complete and extend the existing code generation pipeline (JSON → C code via Jinja templates).
✅ Work with generated C code and ensure successful compilation using CMake.
✅ Adapt and implement game logic, effects, and triggers according to customer requirements.
✅ Test and refine existing examples of effects and triggers on the real device.
✅ Debug issues related to compilation, runtime behavior, and hardware interaction.
✅ Collaborate with the team to clarify requirements and improve system stability.

 REQUIREMENTS

🔹 Strong experience with C (embedded or system-level development).
🔹 Practical experience with Python (automation, code generation, tooling).
🔹 Experience with code generation or template-based systems (Jinja or similar).
🔹 Familiarity with CMake and build pipelines.
🔹 Experience working with hardware or embedded devices.
🔹 Ability to debug and test behavior on real devices.
🔹 Good analytical thinking and problem-solving skills.
🔹 Self-driven, responsible, and comfortable working with partially implemented systems.
🔹 Upper-intermediate English (written and spoken).

 WHAT WE OFFER

✨ Work on a technically interesting project combining code generation, embedded systems, and real hardware.
✨ Opportunity to influence architecture and implementation decisions.
✨ Flexible working hours and remote-friendly collaboration.
✨ Long-term cooperation and professional growth.
