About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Design, implement, and manage core components of the sensor infrastructure: network communication stack, connection lifecycle and traffic management, cryptographic integration, content distribution, and secure on-device storage.
Own your project end-to-end, from design through production validation on Windows, Linux, and macOS, including testing and rollback.
Ensure technical integration with sensor, cloud communications, and policy teams; proactively manage interface contracts and quickly identify critical changes.
Write technical proposals and design documents.
Lead design reviews in your domain and provide constructive feedback that contributes to the team's continuous improvement.
Represent the team's technical position in cross-organizational planning and architecture discussions; clearly communicate trade-offs and risks to engineering, product, and program teams.
Participate in planning; help define project scope, identify dependencies, and report technical risks promptly.
Mentor and coach junior engineers through direct feedback, pair programming, and collaborative code and design reviews.
Analyze and resolve production incidents and complex escalations; develop shared knowledge of failure modes across the system fleet.
Drive improvements in end-to-end testing and validation for components subject to strict correctness and reliability requirements.
