Jens R.
Last position:
Platform Architect & Senior Developer at Direct client, industrial measurement technology, medium-sized company
- Technical leadership across hardware, firmware, and software teams; scope: hardware/firmware team (4 people) and leadership group (5 people)
- Consolidated and documented a product family that had grown over more than 15 years and aligned it with CRA compliance — from the bare-metal I/O module to the cloud interface.
- Provided the most important customer product with the essential requirements and architecture documentation within two months — for a firmware landscape that had grown over more than 15 years. It now supports the customer’s modernization strategy.
- Established a monthly reporting line to the supervisory board and executive board within three months: nine meetings since 12/2025. The report itself is versioned and built from the CI pipeline; it is based on automatically collected activity and release data instead of assessments.
- Built a container-based CI/CD infrastructure from scratch: cross-compilation, host tests, and documentation builds in one continuous pipeline.
- Introduced declarative QA gates for DevOps and development artifacts — from the start using lefthook instead of pre-commit, executed in a dedicated container image.
Technologies used: arc42, req42, tpo42, docToolchain, PlantUML, ArchiMate, C4 model, ADR, C, C++ (GTest), CMake, Bare Metal (ARM Cortex-M3/M7), OCI containers, Jenkins, lefthook, Prometheus, Grafana, SBOM, CRA, OPC, SCADA, PLC integration, IPv6 migration, Zero Trust, Sociocracy 3.0, Cynefin

About the technology
POSIX basics
POSIX is a standards family for portable operating system interfaces. It defines how programs, shells, files, processes, signals, and utilities should behave across Unix-like systems. Companies use it when software must run cleanly on Linux, macOS, BSD, and many embedded platforms.
What experts deliver
- Shell scripts that run reliably in mixed Unix environments
- C and C++ code that follows portable system calls and file handling
- Build, test, and deployment scripts that avoid platform-specific traps
- Migration work from older Unix code to modern Linux systems
Ecosystem and tools
Strong professionals know the POSIX shell, common utilities, and command-line tools such as awk, sed, grep, make, and tar. They also understand file permissions, process control, job handling, pipes, and signal behavior. That skill set matters when teams need predictable behavior across distributions and vendor systems.
When companies bring help
Teams usually look for POSIX specialists when a codebase behaves differently on different Unix-like systems, when scripts break in production, or when software needs to stay portable for years. In Germany, this often comes up in industrial software, telecom, infrastructure, and embedded systems where stability matters more than rapid rewrites.
What strong specialists do
A good professional reads system behavior carefully and tests it on the target environment. They avoid non-portable shell features unless the project allows them, and they can explain the trade-offs between strict POSIX style and system-specific extensions. They also leave code and scripts that other experts can maintain without surprises.
Where it fits best
POSIX is a fit for software that lives close to the operating system: automation, deployment, low-level services, command-line tooling, and cross-platform runtime components. It is less about flashy frameworks and more about clean contracts between programs, the shell, and the system. That is why many teams bring in freelancers only for the parts where portability is critical.
Frequently asked questions
Everything clients usually want to know about POSIX, in one place.
POSIX is used to define portable behavior for operating systems, shells, utilities, and system interfaces. Teams rely on it for scripts, command-line tools, and low-level code that must work across Unix-like systems without surprises.
POSIX is stricter and more portable than writing for one Linux distribution only. Linux-specific shell features can be useful, but they tie your code to one environment, while POSIX keeps it more likely to run on macOS, BSD, and other Unix-like systems too.
Bring in POSIX expertise when portability, shell behavior, or system-level reliability becomes risky. A specialist helps when scripts break outside one environment, when older Unix code needs care, or when a product must support several Unix-like systems.
A strong POSIX professional usually also knows shell scripting, C, build tools, and debugging on the command line. Experience with Linux, macOS, BSD, and packaging or deployment workflows is often valuable too.
POSIX work can look simple, but edge cases around quoting, signals, file paths, and portability are easy to miss. For production systems, you usually want someone who has shipped scripts or system code that survived more than one operating environment.
Yes, POSIX work is often remote because most tasks are code review, scripting, testing, and troubleshooting. For Germany-based teams, remote collaboration works well if the expert can test on the same target systems and communicate clearly in the agreed working language.
Good POSIX work is readable, portable, and explicit about assumptions. Look for clean quoting, careful error handling, limited use of non-portable features, and tests that prove the code behaves the same across target systems.
No, POSIX is a standard, while Unix and Linux are operating systems or families of systems. A project can target POSIX behavior on Linux, macOS, or other Unix-like systems without depending on one vendor’s exact implementation.
The average hourly rate of freelancers in Germany who have used POSIX in their recent projects is 96 €, which corresponds to a daily rate of about 768 € based on an 8-hour working day.
