Principal Software Engineer - Edge Computing

Resideo develops smart home and building solutions that create more comfortable, secure, and connected experiences. The Principal Software Engineer will architect and build edge computing, spatial intelligence, and integration platforms for connected-home devices. The role involves hands-on software systems development, technical leadership, prototyping, architectural guidance, and collaboration across engineering disciplines.

Responsibilities:

• Architect, design, and build core components of Resideo’s next-generation edge computing and spatial intelligence platforms
• Develop an edge runtime and integration platform capable of bringing together data and capabilities from connected devices across the home
• Help build software models and knowledge structures that make device and home information usable by other systems, including edge applications, mobile experiences, and intelligent agents
• Take complex technical problems from concept through prototype and implementation, helping the team quickly test, learn, and iterate
• Evaluate technologies and architectural approaches based on scalability, reliability, performance, portability, and long-term maintainability
• Serve as a technical leader within the team, providing architectural guidance, reviewing code and designs, and establishing strong software engineering practices
• Work closely with engineers across Innovation, IoT systems, mobile, embedded firmware, and other technical disciplines
• Contribute to R&D planning by identifying opportunities, shaping technical concepts, communicating recommendations, and helping turn promising ideas into new projects
• Mentor engineers and contribute to a collaborative engineering culture focused on thoughtful experimentation and high-quality execution

Requirements:

• 10+ years of experience in technology environments, with hands-on software development experience in compiled programming languages (such as Rust, C/C++, or Go).
• Software systems engineering experience (in areas such as databases, operating systems, compilers, networking, cybersecurity, virtualization) focused on building foundational technology
• Experience working in a R&D, advanced development, prototyping, or similarly exploratory technical environment
• Strong communication skills and the ability to clearly explain technical needs, architectural decisions, tradeoffs, and recommendations
• Experience taking ideas from prototype to product
• Experience with Rust, or a strong interest in becoming highly proficient with Rust
• Experience designing or building foundational software systems such as databases, operating systems, compilers, runtimes, network stacks, protocols, or similar infrastructure
• Networking and network protocol development experience
• Cybersecurity or secure systems development experience
• Experience with edge computing, distributed systems, or resource-constrained computing environments
• Experience with knowledge graphs, ontologies, semantic technologies, or other approaches to representing relationships between systems and data
• Experience developing or integrating intelligent agents or agent-based systems
• Experience with Internet of Things (IoT) technologies and connected-device ecosystems
• Experience with embedded Linux, including technologies such as Yocto, or experience with embedded RTOS environments
• Experience with asynchronous programming
• Experience with containers, WebAssembly, virtualization, or application portability technologies
• End-to-end platform development experience
• Experience with robust software quality, testing, version control, and continuous integration practices
• Experience with a major cloud platform; Resideo uses Azure
• A track record of learning from previous architectural or technical approaches and applying those lessons to future system design
• Comfortably moving between exploration and execution, with the ability to pivot quickly as new information emerges, and are willing to challenge or adapt processes when doing so helps the team move forward
• Self-direction while still actively participating in team planning and technical discussions
