The tech stack (C/C++, Embedded Linux, Docker, Kubernetes, IFS Cloud, Salesforce) reveals a company managing both hardware firmware and cloud-connected operations, while active projects in cyber-security hardening, WLAN systems, and a Linux-based embedded platform signal a shift toward connected and secured networks. Hiring is concentrated in sales (Denmark, Benelux expansion) alongside engineering focused on test automation and platform maturity.
