About the role

Leadership role for the Software Core Connectivity team, owning roadmaps, staffing, and release commitments for in-vehicle messaging, in-vehicle network, and cloud connectivity, while coordinating with cross-functional partners and setting technical bar across the team.

Responsibilities

  • Own the roadmap, staffing, and release commitments across the team's messaging, in-vehicle network, and cloud connectivity work.
  • Lead and grow a team of software engineers, run their performance and promotion cycles, and hire into the gaps.
  • Represent the team in cross-functional programs across firmware, product security, simulation, fleet operations, and infrastructure, and build the relationships that keep shared work moving.
  • Set the technical bar. Make the architecture calls stick, and make sure the abstractions the team ships are ones other teams want to build on.

  • 9+ years of experience in software development, with 4+ years in a leadership role managing software engineers.
  • Strong grounding in at least one of: networked distributed systems, pub/sub and RPC middleware, vehicle or embedded networking, or transport protocols. Enough depth to hold your own in a design review without needing to run it.
  • Strong C++ programming experience with large code bases and technical dependencies.
  • A track record of driving work that spans organizational boundaries, where you did not control the people doing the work.
