We help organizations turn complex challenges into meaningful outcomes by connecting strategy and execution across AI, cloud, data, product development, and emerging technology. Our culture is built by people who care deeply about doing exceptional work. We set high standards, take ownership, and continually challenge ourselves and one another to be better. We work hard, support each other, and take genuine pride in what we deliver for our clients, partners, and teams. At Blueprint, you’ll work alongside talented people with different experiences, expertise, and perspectives. You’ll have opportunities to take on meaningful challenges, expand your skills, and see the impact of what you build. Bring your perspective. Raise the standard. Build what matters. About the Role We’re looking for an Embedded Software Engineer to help build and evolve an advanced platform that automates firmware security analysis using modern compiler technologies, fuzzing frameworks, and AI-assisted workflows. In this role, you’ll develop scalable tools that transform firmware into analyzable intermediate representations, automate vulnerability discovery, and improve the accuracy and efficiency of security-analysis pipelines. You’ll combine systems programming, compiler engineering, firmware security, and machine-learning techniques to solve complex security challenges. You’ll collaborate with engineers and security researchers to prototype new capabilities, prepare them for production, and support the development of a platform designed for future open-source release. What You'll Do Design, develop, and maintain automated firmware security-analysis pipelines for vulnerability discovery. Build low-level tooling with C++, Python, and LLVM to analyze firmware at scale. Develop compiler passes and transformations that convert firmware into analyzable LLVM Intermediate Representation. Create, improve, and maintain fuzzing harnesses that maximize code coverage and uncover security vulnerabilities. Investigate crashes identified during fuzzing campaigns and perform root-cause analysis. Improve vulnerability-detection accuracy by reducing false positives and strengthening automated analysis workflows. Develop and enhance AI-assisted systems that classify firmware functionality and generate security-analysis artifacts. Debug firmware-rehosting environments and resolve issues affecting automated analysis. Collaborate with compiler engineers, software engineers, and security researchers to review architectures and validate security findings. Design scalable automation, testing, and continuous-integration workflows that improve development efficiency and platform reliability. Improve code quality through testing, documentation, dependency management, and engineering best practices. Contribute to release readiness, developer onboarding, and preparation for open-source release. Evaluate and integrate compiler, security, and AI technologies that strengthen platform capabilities. What You'll Bring Bachelor’s degree in computer science, computer engineering, electrical engineering, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience. Seven or more years of professional experience developing systems software with C or C++. Five or more years of experience with LLVM, compiler infrastructure, compiler development, or program analysis. Three or more years of experience with fuzzing, vulnerability research, or application security. Experience developing compiler passes, static-analysis tools, or code-transformation frameworks. Strong understanding of LLVM Intermediate Representation and compiler-optimization concepts. Experience debugging low-level software, memory-corruption issues, and complex system behavior. Proficiency with Python for automation, tooling, or pipeline development. Experience working within Linux development en…
