About the Role

We are looking for a skilled Staff Embedded Software Engineer with a deep understanding of distributed systems and fleet-scale device management to develop, optimize, and maintain our embedded control and data plane infrastructure. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in software development (C/C++), a passion for open-source technologies, and experience designing and operating data-intensive pipelines together with the configuration systems that manage them across a distributed device fleet.

Responsibilities

Design, implement, and maintain the on-vehicle control plane that retrieves configuration from the cloud and applies it across the vehicle's ECUs.
Design, implement, and maintain the on-vehicle data plane that collects, processes, and forwards data from vehicle systems to cloud storage.
Optimize our control and data plane for reliable data egress and configuration delivery over intermittent connectivity, rapid convergence to new configuration, and a minimal CPU and memory footprint on the target ECU.
Integrate with cloud services such as Azure, AWS S3, and Firestore for configuration delivery, device state reporting, and data egress.
Collaborate with DevOps and Cloud teams to roll out new on-vehicle software and configuration safely.
Instrument our software with the observability needed to monitor the fleet, diagnose issues in production, and resolve them at the source.
Contribute to the open-source community by reporting issues, contributing to documentation, and submitting patches.
Drive the technical direction of how we manage thousands of vehicles from a single control plane, including configuration distribution, version management, device identity, and remote diagnostics.
Mentor junior and senior peers, and support team growth.
Promote best practices within the software community.
Be an integral part of a dynamic, growing team, contributing positively to team culture and success.
