Our Mission
ButterflyMX is on a mission to empower people to automate property access, operations, and security from a single platform. Our products are installed in more than 20,000+ multifamily, commercial, gated communities, and student-housing properties worldwide, including properties developed, owned, and managed by the most trusted names in real estate. Our features are designed for developers, owners, property managers, and tenants and our products lower operating costs and improve tenant satisfaction.
Our Solution
Developers and owners no longer need to run building wiring or install in-unit hardware. Property managers can grant building access, revoke permissions, and review entry logs from an online dashboard. Residents can open doors from their smartphones, issue visitor access, and see who is trying to enter the building.
Our Culture & Values
Fantastic people are the key to our success. As a distributed, primarily remote workforce, we’re looking for more intelligent, passionate, collaborative, ai-forward, and down-to-earth individuals to join our growing team. We’re driven by a shared commitment to excellence and innovation, grounded in our core values: We delight our customers, We take ownership, We are a community of collaborators, We speak up, We think big and do small, and We are tenacious.
Role Overview
At ButterflyMX, firmware sits at the critical intersection of electronics, embedded systems, product reliability, device security, and customer experience. We are seeking an exceptional Firmware Engineer to help design, build, debug, secure, and optimize the embedded software that powers our next generation of access control, intercom, IoT, wireless, and connected hardware products.
This role requires a rare combination of strong firmware development skill, deep hardware intuition, and practical embedded systems judgment. The successful candidate will be comfortable working close to the hardware — registers, buses, timing, interrupts, memory, power, analog behavior, digital interfaces, and real-world failure modes — while also understanding how embedded devices interact with secure cloud-connected systems.
Our products span multiple embedded environments, including bare-metal microcontroller firmware with main-loop architectures, RTOS-based systems including Zephyr, and embedded Linux platforms. This engineer must be able to write production-quality code independently, analyze and optimize firmware at a low level, troubleshoot hardware/firmware interactions, and use AI tools intelligently to accelerate development without outsourcing engineering judgment.
This is a hands-on, high-impact engineering role for someone with initiative, tenacity, curiosity, and the ability to solve ambiguous problems across hardware, firmware, manufacturing, and field reliability.
Compensation
The expected base salary range for this position is $150,000-$190,000. Actual compensation will depend on factors including budget, skills, experience, location, and internal equity. This position may also be eligible for bonuses, equity, or other forms of compensation, where applicable.
