Tech Stack

About the role

  • Lead, mentor, and inspire a growing team of world-class software and performance engineers.
  • Own the end-to-end architecture of simulation execution systems, ensuring seamless execution across both local developer workstations and distributed cloud environments.
  • Direct comprehensive performance engineering initiatives, including rigorous benchmarking, systems profiling, and deep-dive root cause analysis of complex bottlenecks.
  • Drive systematic improvements to the simulator's runtime performance, optimizing CPU/memory utilization and dramatically reducing execution latency.
  • Drive the architectural decoupling of the core simulation engine from infrastructure orchestration, creating a highly modular and scalable execution pipeline.
  • Design and build robust APIs and SDKs (Python, C++, REST) that allow autonomy workflows to easily configure, execute, and interact with the simulator.
  • Create telemetry and dashboards to continuously track and improve execution speed.
  • Drive cross-functional collaboration with autonomy, QA, and infrastructure teams to deliver a frictionless, high-speed developer experience.

Requirements

  • Proven track record of developing top engineering talent and managing high-performing teams (3+ years of engineering management experience)
  • Bachelor's or advanced degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field
  • Expert-level programming skills in C++, with strong proficiency in Python
  • Hands-on experience with systems-level performance profiling, bottleneck analysis, and C++ optimization techniques
  • Deep understanding of system design, developer tooling, API/SDK design, and distributed computing
