Senior Embedded Software Engineer, Orb at World

World is a network of real humans, built on privacy-preserving proof-of-human technology, and powered by a globally inclusive financial network that enables the free flow of digital assets for all. It is built to connect, empower, and be owned by everyone.

The Device Software team owns all software running on the Orb. This includes the biometric imaging system, on-device fraud detection, and a security‑hardened operating system. The team is also responsible for supporting manufacturing, test automation, and hardware bring‑up. All core software is written in Rust and runs in a custom GNU/Linux OS on the NVIDIA Jetson platform.

In this role, you will play a key role in advancing the Orb’s software to reach new levels of scale, decentralization, and performance. Projects include porting software to Android‑based systems, optimizing image capture/processing code, and supporting software verifiability. Your work will be regularly deployed to our global fleet of Orbs used by millions of people worldwide, critical to scaling the World network to billions.

We strongly encourage you to apply if you are motivated by World’s mission, have exceptional software engineering abilities, and thrive in a fast‑paced environment.
