About the Position
Tech Lead, Embedded Platform
Copenhagen OR Remote
At a big company, the platform layer is a hundred engineers, and you own a slice of it. A driver. A subsystem. A corner of the release pipeline. You go deep, but you rarely get to hold the whole thing. With us you will. One team owns the entire layer: the operating system and firmware on every Airtame, the streaming stack underneath it, the releases that reach devices in the field, and the work of turning new hardware into a shipping product.
The role is roughly 60% hands-on the hardest problems and 40% growing the engineers who work on them.
Responsibilities
- Take AirPlay and Miracast from beta to default
- Make firmware releases boring
- Turn the next board into a shipping Airtame
- Lead the team
- Push AI-assisted development further
Requirements
- The player-coach: You've set a team's technical direction and you want the people side too.
- At home where software meets hardware: Embedded Linux is your familiar ground.
- You ship to hardware you can't reach: You've owned software that ships to the field.
- You've turned new hardware into a product: Bare silicon arrives, and you make it boot, talk to the network, manage its heat, and eventually stream.
- You use AI as a daily tool: You write code with it, debug with it, prototype with it.
We Offer
- A shift worth architecting: Airtame's software is moving onto a widening range of devices.
- A span you can hold: From the bootloader to the release that reaches the field, the whole layer is one person's to shape.
- A healthy work-life balance.
- Significant responsibility and ownership over projects and your field of expertise.
- Five weeks paid vacation and 5 days of extra paid AirtameFlex days.
- Flexible work environment, with a hybrid mindset.
- Pension and private health insurance (on FTE Copenhagen contract).
About the Company
About Airtame
We're around 55 people, headquartered in Copenhagen, and you'd work from there or remotely from within the EU.

The team is cross-functional and spread across Europe, and it reaches a global market from a small base.
Why Airtame:
- A healthy work-life cultural balance is key to our success.
- Our team encompasses our values of trust and open communication to support each other and to collaborate in a fun and collective way.
