Ask HN: What companies have jobs in low-level programming?
Hello all,
I am a current Java backend engineer, but I am taking an OS course and I am really enjoy it.
I am still very junior (YOE 1.25) but I am thinking of making a job jump to a systems programming SWE position.
I know Microsoft and Apple have positions obviously doing OS stuff, but any other companies I should consider? I think my preference would to be a bit higher than embedded engineering, but I wouldn't rule those out completely.
I should mention I have experience (in my free time, not work experience) in C/C++/Rust/Go. I don't do any objective-C or Swift so I don't know if Apple would be an option.
Thanks!

- handsome_latino 4y agoIf you are into learning about cryptography, then some companies in the Bitcoin space might have opportunities for you: https://coinkite.com/careers https://coinkite.com/careers Coinkite produces Coldcard, a hardware wallet. It's quite a masterpiece IMO. I've seen other postings on other jobs too. https://lightning.engineering/join-us/ https://lightning.engineering/join-us/ particularly: https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/lightning/359ec80e-5f02-4300-b750-168033193440 https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/lightning/359ec80e-5f02-4300-b750-1... https://blockstream.com/careers/ https://blockstream.com/careers/ NOTE: I don't work for any of them. I do it as a hobby and enjoy the technical part of Bitcoin's protocol and has me on this never-ending rabbit hole on cryptography and retaking low-level languages, which has been a real treat for me.
