Responsibilities
- Lead a prioritized cross-module workstream and architecture pilot from problem definition through implementation, rollout, and measurement.
- Design application behavior for dependency failures, stale data, lifecycle transitions, restart, fault containment, and safe degradation.
- Evaluate module decomposition, interfaces, dependencies, and C++ implementations while accounting for compute, memory, data-flow, and scheduling constraints.
- Design components for meaningful tests, deterministic replay, simulation, input capture, configuration, timing, state initialization, and regression testing.
- Write architecture proposals, drive cross-team reviews, review module boundaries and interfaces, conduct code reviews, and drive adoption of engineering patterns.
- Use AI-assisted development tools appropriately while remaining accountable for design quality, correctness, testing, and production readiness.
Requirements
- Strong modern C++ and Linux systems fundamentals, including concurrency, memory management, inter-process communication, performance, and failure handling.
- Significant experience developing and maintaining production C++ software in a large codebase.
- Experience independently leading ambiguous systems-software projects from design through cross-team adoption and measurable production impact.
- Sound judgment regarding module decomposition, interface contracts, failure boundaries, testability, resource partitioning, and process boundaries.
- Strong production debugging, testing, observability, and verification discipline, plus effective written and verbal communication.
- At least 5 years of relevant production software-engineering experience or equivalent demonstrated scope and impact.
- Demonstrated ownership of substantial component architecture, modernization, or cross-team software projects through implementation and adoption.
- Experience diagnosing and resolving complex reliability or performance issues in Linux-based systems.
- Bachelor’s degree in computer science, engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
- Preferred experience includes autonomous vehicles, robotics, embedded systems, real-time or safety-critical domains, deterministic simulation or replay, fault injection, fuzzing, profiling, static analysis, Bazel, and C++ library or toolchain development.
Benefits
- Base pay is listed as part of a total compensation package, with eligibility for an annual performance bonus, equity, and a competitive benefits package.
- The role is associated with a stated pay range of $193,930 to $291,150 per year, depending on experience, qualifications, education, location, and skills.
