About the Sr. Software Engineer Role at Robert Half

Join Robert Half's innovative team in Thorofare, New Jersey, as a Sr. Software Engineer specializing in embedded Linux-based devices. This full-time position offers a unique opportunity to work on cutting-edge RFID readers and edge computing platforms that bridge hardware, software, and cloud solutions. Ideal for seasoned engineers passionate about IoT, embedded systems, and cross-functional collaboration, you'll take full ownership of your technical domain while driving robust, scalable device software. With a competitive salary around $130,000-$150,000, this role combines technical depth with real-world impact in a dynamic environment. Robert Half, a leader in technology staffing and solutions, provides the perfect platform to advance your career in embedded software engineering.

Why This Role Stands Out

In this position, you'll thrive in a collaborative setting where your expertise in Python, Linux services, and REST APIs directly influences product reliability and performance. Whether enhancing telemetry for field diagnostics or integrating with Azure cloud services, your contributions will support manufacturing, QA, and operations teams. This is more than coding—it's about architecting resilient systems that power next-generation RFID and edge devices. Remote-friendly options and professional growth opportunities make it an excellent fit for top talent in New Jersey's tech scene.

Key Responsibilities

As a Sr. Software Engineer, your day-to-day will focus on delivering high-quality, maintainable code for embedded Linux environments. Expect to:

• Develop and maintain Linux-based services, microservices, and system components using primarily Python and Bash scripting.
• Design robust REST APIs for seamless integration between device UIs, microservices, and Azure cloud platforms.
• Partner closely with firmware engineers to define and implement hardware interfaces like RFID readers, GPIO pins, and custom drivers.
• Build advanced telemetry, logging, and diagnostics tools to empower QA, Field Service, and support teams with proactive observability.
• Author comprehensive unit, integration, and system-level tests tailored for resource-constrained embedded systems.
• Lead peer code reviews, enforcing best practices in code quality, security, maintainability, and architectural consistency.
• Create detailed documentation covering APIs, service behaviors, package flows, upgrade processes, and troubleshooting protocols.
• Participate in design reviews, assess technology stacks, and advocate for enhancements in performance, reliability, and scalability.
• Stay ahead of trends in Linux, networking, RFID standards, packaging, and cloud integration methodologies.
• Collaborate with QA on test plan reviews, regression validation, and swift resolution of field or production issues.
• Ensure smooth operations for device provisioning, configuration, and upgrades in manufacturing workflows.
• Mentor junior engineers, fostering skill development and knowledge sharing across the team.

Required Qualifications

To excel in this Sr. Software Engineer role, bring:

• 5+ years of hands-on experience in software engineering, with a focus on embedded Linux systems.
• Expertise in Python, Bash, and scripting for Linux services and microservices.
• Proven track record designing REST APIs and integrating with cloud services like Azure.
• Familiarity with hardware interfaces including RFID, GPIO, drivers, and embedded protocols.
• Strong testing skills for unit, integration, and system levels in constrained environments.
• Experience with telemetry, logging, observability tools, and diagnostic systems.
• Ability to conduct code reviews and champion security/architectural standards.
• Cross-functional collaboration skills, including with firmware, QA, operations, and manufacturing teams.
• Mentoring experience and eagerness to learn emerging frameworks, languages, and platforms.
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or equivalent; advanced certifications in Linux or cloud a plus.
