Enterprise software for automotive, IoT, and secure communications
BlackBerry is a public software company pivoting toward cloud-native infrastructure. Active projects reveal a multi-year effort to migrate to next-generation cloud platforms and ingest high-volume telemetry, while pain points expose friction in release quality, testing, and billing processes. The hiring mix—heavily weighted toward senior engineers and principals—suggests depth in foundational systems work, with minimal new hiring velocity indicating a consolidation phase rather than growth expansion.
BlackBerry supplies software and services to enterprises and governments across automotive, industrial IoT, and critical communications. The company's core offering spans QNX-based embedded systems for connected vehicles and industrial equipment, a unified endpoint management platform, mission-critical communications infrastructure, and critical event management systems. With a 1,000+ person workforce based in Waterloo, Ontario, and hiring across Canada, the US, Germany, and Malaysia, BlackBerry serves major automakers and industrial manufacturers seeking safety-certified, high-reliability foundational software.
BlackBerry uses C/C++, QNX, Node.js, React, React Native, and Android/iOS for product engineering. Backend infrastructure includes MySQL, Elasticsearch, and Linux (Ubuntu). Operations rely on Salesforce, NetSuite, Workday, and Jira Service Management.
