Senior Linux Engineer

Zeno is seeking a Senior Linux Platform Engineer (7–10 years of experience) with deep expertise in Linux system engineering, microservices architecture, and cloud infrastructure. Location: Bengaluru – Work from Office (5 days a week) Start Date: Immediate About Zeno An unprecedented energy transition has begun. To meet 2040 net zero goals, over 2 billion electric two-wheelers must be sold and $11 trillion in fuel consumption replaced. Zeno is building a tech platform to electrify this two-wheeler market, which is currently responsible for more than 4% of the world’s GHG emissions. Our mission is to accelerate the energy transition and democratize its benefits across Africa, India, and Latin America. The Role Zeno is seeking a Senior Linux Platform Engineer (7–10 years) with deep expertise in: Python asyncio microservices (MANDATORY) Linux systems engineering (Debian-based) Embedded ARM platforms Cloud infrastructure + Kubernetes This is a critical technical role responsible for architecting, building, and operating the software platform that powers Zeno’s connected energy devices and cloud stack. You will work across the full spectrum from embedded device services to cloud microservices , ensuring secure, reliable, and scalable performance in challenging real-world environments. What You’ll Do Platform Development Design, build, and maintain a Debian-based Linux platform for ARM-based connected hardware. Build containerized microservices using Docker. Application & Microservice Development (Python asyncio is a mandatory requirement for this role ) Develop production-grade Python 3.12 services using: asyncio, async/await aio FastAPI async concurrency frameworks (uvloop, etc.) Build additional services using GoLang . Build on-device UIs using Kivy (bonus). System Integration & Networking Integrate hardware and microservices using: nanomsg / ZeroMQ WebSockets CAN bus RS485 Build robust low-latency communication layers for edge → cloud. Cloud & DevOps Deploy and manage services on AWS (required). Operate containerized environments using Docker and Kubernetes . Configure and maintain Debian-based servers . Database & Edge Persistence Use SQLite for on-device storage and synchronization. Manage cloud-based storage and data flows. Performance & Reliability Optimize edge + cloud systems for: low latency high reliability resource constraints on ARM devices Debugging & Diagnostics Debug issues across the entire stack: Python async logic microservice communication container orchestration hardware-software interaction networking & protocols What You Bring Mandatory Experience 7–10 years in Linux systems engineering / platform development. Production-grade Python asyncio microservices experience (async/await, concurrency, async frameworks). Strong hands-on GoLang (or equivalent system-level languages). Deep expertise with Debian-based Linux on embedded and server environments. Strong Technical Skills Microservices architecture, Docker, Kubernetes. ARM/embedded Linux platforms (Raspberry Pi, Jetson, NXP, Qualcomm, etc.). Networking protocols: CAN RS485 WebSockets nanomsg / ZeroMQ AWS cloud ecosystem. Experience using LLM agents to accelerate development workflows. Bonus Skills Kivy or Qt for UI interfaces. Zephyr RTOS (STM32 or similar). SQLite on constrained edge devices. Benefits Competitive salary based on experience. Company-sponsored healthcare plan. Opportunity to build the core technology behind the two-wheeler EV revolution. Work with global engineers and operators building a trillion-dollar industry transformation.
