About the Role
Ready to lead a talented team building cutting-edge technology? In this unique opportunity, you will shape the development of a multi-layered software stack, including real-time control, compiler layers, and application-level demonstrations. Work directly with world-class engineers and scientists to support the development of game-changing technologies while managing a growing team of software engineers and influencing processes across DevOps, release management, and technical support.
Responsibilities
- Lead a team of ten (and growing) software engineers;
- Define processes across DevOps, release management, and technical support;
- Take ownership of the technical roadmap and the people strategy;
- Influence architecture and systems spanning from FPGA-based real-time control to Python and Rust-based development environments.
