Senior Embedded Software Developer

Witted Mavericks disrupts software consulting by providing the fairest and most transparent salary model on the market for senior consultants. If you are an experienced and independent developer looking for the compensation of a freelancer with the security of an employee, this is your next career step.

We are part of Witted, a NASDAQ First North Growth Market-listed IT consultancy with 400+ employees across Finland, Norway, Sweden, Croatia, North Macedonia, and the USA. In Oslo, you’ll find us at our modern premises in Hegdehaugsveien working with clients in demanding sectors such as defense, energy, medtech, automotive, and industry. 

Due to high demand from our clients with interesting and mission-critical projects, we are now looking for new Mavericks to join our team in 2026.

The Maverick Promise

• Fair compensation: We offer 51% of your billing as gross salary (typically NOK 90–100k/month).

• Security: Guaranteed NOK 50k/month for the first 6 months while finding your first project.

• Freedom: You choose your own projects from our extensive client base.

• Support: We handle all sales, administration, tools, and occupational healthcare so that you can focus 100% on your assignment.

About the role

We are looking for experienced developers with 5+ years of experience in embedded software or firmware to join our growing team in Norway.

We don't expect you to be an expert in everything below, but we are seeking deep professional experience in one or several of these areas:

• Programming: Professional-level C/C++, Embedded Linux, RTOS (e.g., FreeRTOS, Zephyr, ThreadX), or bare-metal development.

• Hardware interfacing: Development of low-level drivers and communication protocols (e.g., SPI, I2C, UART, CAN, RS485, Ethernet, USB).

• System architecture: Deep understanding of hardware-near concepts like memory management, timing, and resource optimization.

• Tooling and automation: Proficiency with build systems (CMake, Yocto, Buildroot), scripting (Python, Bash), and cross-compilation workflows.

• Debugging and quality: Expertise in hardware debugging (JTAG, GDB, Logic Analyzers) and modern CI/CD processes using Git.

It is a great advantage if you have experience with:

• IoT and integration: Sensor integration and wireless communication

• Testing and security: Unit testing and test automation, Secure Boot, and OTA update mechanisms

What we hope from you

• Eagerness to solve technical challenges and a passion for seeing your code run on physical hardware

• Strong communication and collaboration skills

• Fluency in both Norwegian and English

• Readiness to work in a hybrid model depending on the client’s needs (min. 4 days/month at our Oslo office or a client's office in Oslo, Asker, Horten or Kongsberg).

Many of our projects are mission-critical for Norway’s infrastructure and security. Therefore, it is a plus if you are eligible for a Norwegian security clearance.

The full Maverick package

• Flexibility: Work-life balance is default, flexible hours and hybrid setups.

• Well-being: Comprehensive healthcare, insurance, and modern office perks (snacks, social events, lunch benefits).

• Growth: Influence the direction of our fast-growing, consultant-first company.
