The Role

Do you envision a world with zero crashes, zero emissions, and zero congestion? We do too and we're building the foundational software to achieve it. At the heart of this mission is a modern, scalable Vehicle Computing Platform that integrates advanced features such as active safety, driver assistance, infotainment, and connectivity.

Job Description

As a Staff Software Engineer on the Vehicle Connectivity Infrastructure team, you will play a key leadership role in architecting and delivering software solutions that bridge in-vehicle compute with cloud and edge platforms. You'll tackle complex technical challenges, set direction for critical system components, and influence cross-functional teams to drive excellence in connected vehicle technologies.

What Youll Do

  • Architect, design, and develop high-performance cloud-native applications and services using Go, Java, Spring Boot, and cloud platforms such as AWS and Azure.
  • Lead the design and deployment of microservices in Kubernetes-based environments, ensuring scalability, observability, and maintainability.
  • Serve as a technical authority, mentoring engineers and guiding the team through design reviews, code reviews, and system-level decision-making.
  • Design and implement data-driven solutions using PostgreSQL, DynamoDB, and Cosmos DB, optimizing for performance and resilience.
  • Drive integration and system verification efforts across cloud, edge, and in-vehicle platforms with minimal supervision.
  • Develop robust telemetry and service health metrics using Spring Boot Actuator, AOP, and industry-standard monitoring practices.
  • Leverage UML modeling, design patterns, and Object-Oriented principles to deliver clean, extensible, and maintainable software.
  • Troubleshoot complex system-level issues, performing root cause analysis and leading resolution efforts across multi-functional teams.
  • Define and document requirements, ensuring strong traceability from design through validation and production deployment.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with IT, System & Safety Engineering, and in-vehicle development teams to ensure aligned execution.

    • Additional Job Description

    • Bachelors degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field.
    • 5+ years of hands-on experience in Java, Go, and modern software development environments.
    • 2+ years of experience building scalable services in Go.
    • Strong understanding of microservices, event-driven architecture, and cloud-based design patterns.
    • Experience deploying applications in AWS and/or Azure, with strong Linux fundamentals.
    • Proficiency with REST/gRPC APIs, cloud infrastructure-as-code, and container orchestration.

    Preferred Qualifications

    • Masters degree in a related technical discipline.
    • Experience in edge computing, cloud-to-vehicle interoperability, and large-scale distributed systems.
    • Background in C++ development for embedded or performance-critical components.
    • Familiarity with big data platforms (Cosmos DB, DynamoDB) and object storage (e.g., Amazon S3).
    • Experience with modern development practices: CI/CD pipelines, Git, and open-source collaboration.
