Priva started as a hardware company and transformed into an innovative software company that grew to become the global market leader in horticulture and building automation. Today we are a high‑tech company that develops hardware, software, and digital services in the field of climate control, energy‑saving and optimal reuse of water. We do this for horticulture, indoor and city farming, as well as utility buildings such as offices, retail, hotels and hospitals. We are proud to work with over 600 colleagues in 16 international branch offices across 12 countries, together with over 400 international installation partners to deliver our sustainable solutions and services in more than 100 countries.

One of our embedded teams for building automation consists of a Product Owner, a Scrum Master, a Tech Lead, three QAs and six Developers. You’ll be joining this team as an Embedded Software Developer. The team works on embedded software for the main process controller and smart end devices responsible for sensing and actuation in building automation.

We seek a highly skilled and experienced Senior C++ Embedded Developer with at least 5 years of C++ experience. The ideal candidate will have a strong foundation in modern C++ (C++17 or later) and extensive experience in embedded systems development. You will be critical in designing and implementing software for our service‑oriented, event‑driven architecture, contributing to around 15+ services running on our embedded platform.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, develop and maintain efficient, reusable, high‑performance C++17 services for our embedded Linux system.
• Work closely with other software developers, testers, field support engineers and product management to implement and maintain solutions.
• Communicate technical ideas, insights and data to a large (often non‑technical) audience clearly and accurately.
• Document and maintain technical design overviews and implementation details for other software developers.

Job Requirements

• At least 5 years of experience in embedded C++ (C++17 preferred) development on Linux.
• Good understanding of object‑oriented design and design patterns, following modern C++ best practices (RAII, SOLID principles, clean code, modular architecture, etc.).
• Experience developing for multithreaded embedded environments, with a focus on writing highly efficient, robust and maintainable code.
• Experience with serial communication protocols.
• Experience with MQTT and/or other networking protocols.
• Affinity for working with hardware.
• Agile / Scrum experience is an advantage.
• Experience with encryption and certificates (OpenSSL, PGP, certificate distribution).
• Experience with Yocto, GitHub and unit testing (for example, using GoogleTest) is an advantage.
• Experience using testing frameworks such as Robot Framework is a plus.

Benefits

• A competitive salary based on your experience.
• We find a healthy work‑life balance important: working flexible hours combined with 30 vacation days a year and the option to buy more.
• 8% holiday allowance.
• Travel allowance of €0.23/km with a daily maximum of 150 kilometers.
• Secure the pension plan.
• Participation plan engagement.
• Personal education possibilities and budget.
• Healthy cafeteria and free on‑premises fitness where you can participate in CrossFit, Pilates, spinning classes or play table tennis or table football.
