Senior Software Development Engineer, Data Center Builder Tools

As a Senior SDE, you will shape the architecture of a real-time middleware and controls platform that links industrial hardware with the cloud. You’ll drive long-term technical strategy, own end-to-end system design, and lead cross-team collaborations to ensure safety, security, and reliability at scale. This role blends low-level systems work with cloud integration, requiring precise timing, determinism, and robust data exchange across languages and hardware. You’ll mentor engineers, set standards, and tackle high-impact, ambiguous technical challenges. If you’re excited by building scalable, production-grade real-time platforms, this is your role.

• Architect end-to-end platform design across embedded/edge controllers and cloud, including type systems, serialization, memory layout, schema evolution, and communication patterns
• Define multi-year technical strategy and roadmap, including industrial protocol support and cloud integration
• Ensure real-time correctness at scale with latency budgets, throughput, determinism, and failure modes
• Lead cross-team/discipline efforts, aligning hardware, controls, security, and operations around common contracts
• Raise engineering standards for testing, performance benchmarking, and operational excellence, and enforce through reviews
• Mentor and grow junior and mid-level SDEs, supporting hiring and technical development
• Tackle high-ambiguity, high-impact challenges (new protocol integrations, performance-critical paths, cross-language data exchange) to a proven end state

• Experience in professional software development
• Contributed to architecture and design of complex systems (reliability and scaling)
• Mentor/technical leadership experience
• Embedded development in C/C++
• Proficiency in at least one modern language (Python, Ruby, Golang, Java, C++, C#, Rust)
• Proficiency in embedded Rust or strong C/C++ embedded experience with willingness to work in Rust

• Leadership and mentorship
• Decision-making under ambiguity
• Cross-team collaboration
• Real-time/embedded systems
• Industrial automation platforms and hardware protocols
• Distributed systems and middleware (pub/sub, RPC)
