About the Role

Design, build, and operate software connecting vehicle systems with infotainment, cloud, and mobile ecosystems. Bridge low-level communication paths and high-level vehicle interfaces, developing reusable platform capabilities while supporting brand-specific configurations. This role is well suited to a developer who enjoys working across system boundaries and taking software from design through production support.

Responsibilities

Design, develop, test, and maintain communication services, client libraries, gateway and routing components, and deployment configurations.
Implement message publication and subscription, request/reply interactions, service discovery, signal routing, gateway translation, and reliable failure handling.
Contribute to software components written in C++, Rust, Go, Kotlin, or other languages used across vehicle and cloud platform layers.
Evolve interface contracts, schemas, configuration models, and generated APIs while preserving compatibility for existing consumers.
Decide whether functionality belongs in a reusable platform abstraction, gateway mapping, vehicle service, application, or vehicle- or brand-specific integration.
Deploy and validate services across vehicle-oriented compute platforms, virtualized embedded environments, simulators, software-in-the-loop systems, benches, and prototype vehicles.
Investigate issues across vehicle interfaces, gateways, message-passing services, vehicle-model APIs, and consuming applications using logs, traces, packet captures, diagnostics, and test tools.
Improve reliability, performance, observability, security, deployment automation, and test coverage.
Support partner developers through integration guidance, examples, troubleshooting, documentation, and technical issue triage.
Collaborate with hardware, firmware, embedded, cloud, infotainment, security, validation, product, and external partner teams.
Participate in design reviews, code reviews, incident follow-up, and continuous improvement of engineering practices.

Requirements

Degree in Computer Science or related field (or equivalent experience) plus 3+ years developing software in distributed systems, embedded platforms, or middleware.
Experience with messaging, gRPC, event-driven architectures, distributed systems, and designing or using Protobuf contracts (or equivalent), APIs, and schemas.
Familiarity with CAN/DBC, vehicle gateways, signal integration, and connected devices.
Ability to deploy and debug on embedded/virtual platforms (Android Automotive, Linux, test benches, simulators) with experience in CI/CD, Docker, or Bazel.
Knowledge of mutual TLS, auth, telemetry (Prometheus, OpenTelemetry), and end-to-end troubleshooting using logs, traces, and packet captures.
Strong communication skills to support developer adoption via SDKs and docs.
Experience with platform abstractions, automotive partners, Clean Architecture, and TDD/DDD.
