What To Expect
As an expert Software Architect you will have to lead the design and development of the core “Code-to-Artifact” toolchain. You will be responsible for the architectural
vision for all the foundational tools that build, package, test, and secure our software. Your focus will be on the “factory floor”—ensuring our build systems,
dependency management, and quality analysis tools are robust, efficient, and provide a world-class foundation for our CI/CD platform.
* Architectural Vision & Design: Design and document the architecture for our embedded build systems (CMake), dependency management & packaging solutions (Conan) keeping incremental design principles in mind.
* Technical Strategy & Roadmap: Partner with the Program Manager and Product Owner to define the long-term technical roadmap. Identify, prioritize, and create remediation plans for significant architectural and technical debt within the toolchain domain.
* System Integration: Facilitate architectural discussions and decisions with Technical Leads and development teams, fostering shared understanding and collective ownership of architectural solutions. Act as a technical coach and guide, empowering teams to solve complex architectural challenges. Review the technical design to assure a consistent & coherent development that meets the architectural vision.
* Technology Governance: Establish and govern standards for tool development. Evaluate and select core technologies for build, analysis, and dependency management.
* Collaboration: Work closely with the SW Architect (CI/CD) to ensure all tools have clear, stable interfaces for easy integration into the end-to-end workflows
* Continuously assess the architecture’s impact on quality attributes such as speed and reliability of value delivery to end-users (developers), identifying bottlenecks and proposing architectural solutions to optimize flow efficiency.
What You Bring Along
* Build System Mastery: World-class expertise in CMake and embedded compiler toolchains (GCC/Clang), including cross-compilation.
* Dependency Management Expertise: Deep, hands-on knowledge of Conan for C++ and Python packaging, including creating and managing complex dependency graphs.
* Software Design: Mastery of software design principles (SOLID) and patterns (GoF) for creating high-quality, reusable software tools.
* Security & Quality Tooling: Experience designing and integrating systems for SAST, SCA, and FOSS license compliance management.
* Embedded SW Development Expertise: Some background in (Linux-based) embedded software development (ideally C++) is required.
* Microcontroller/RTOS experience is a major plus.
* Scripting & Automation: Expert-level proficiency in Python for complex tool development and automation.
