Software Engineer - C C++ Linux

We are looking for a highly accountable and product-minded engineer who takes complete ownership of software products from concept to production. This is not a task-execution role; it is a product ownership role where engineering judgment, architectural thinking, and delivery accountability matter as much as coding capability. You will own one product end-to-end, including architecture, development, reliability, deployment quality, and technical decision-making. The role demands someone who understands not only how to build software but also why it should be built in a particular way. The ideal candidate is someone who can independently drive execution, challenge unclear requirements, collaborate effectively with hardware and embedded teams, and consistently ship production-grade software with high engineering standards.

The core responsibilities for the job include the following:

Product Ownership:

• Take full-stack ownership of a software product, including backend services, APIs, integrations, and frontend components where applicable.
• Maintain accountability for the product's reliability, scalability, maintainability, and production performance.
• Ensure technical decisions align with business goals and user outcomes.

Architecture and Engineering Excellence:

• Define and evolve the product's technical architecture.
• Make pragmatic architectural trade-offs under real-world constraints.
• Build clean, maintainable, and well-tested code.
• Ensure every feature includes appropriate test coverage and documentation before release.
• Proactively identify and reduce technical debt.

Requirement Analysis and Problem Solving:

• Translate business and product requirements into scalable technical solutions.
• Challenge unclear, unnecessary, or technically unsound requirements constructively.
• Estimate effort accurately and communicate risks, dependencies, and uncertainties transparently.

Cross-Functional Collaboration:

• Work closely with embedded systems and hardware engineering teams to define and validate interface specifications.
• Collaborate with stakeholders across product, engineering, QA, and operations functions.
• Drive alignment without requiring constant escalation or direction.

Reliability and Delivery:

• Own uptime, latency, error rates, and operational stability of the product.
• Participate actively in deployment, monitoring, debugging, and production issue resolution.
• Provide structured weekly updates covering current status, forward plans, risks, and dependencies.

Requirements:

• Strong experience in full-stack software development within product-based environments.
• Demonstrated ownership of production-grade software products or major feature sets.
• Proven track record of independently shipping and maintaining software used by real customers.
• Experience working in cross-functional engineering environments involving hardware or embedded systems is highly preferred.

Technical Strength:

• Strong software architecture and system design capabilities.
• Solid understanding of APIs, backend services, databases, cloud-native development, and modern frontend frameworks.
• Strong focus on code quality, automated testing, observability, and maintainability.
• Ability to make balanced engineering decisions without over-engineering solutions.

Professional Attributes:

• High accountability and execution ownership.
• Strong communication and documentation skills.
• Ability to work independently with minimal supervision.
• Comfortable operating in fast-moving product environments with evolving priorities.
• Strong analytical thinking and problem-solving mindset.

Evaluation Criteria:

• Candidates will be evaluated on:
• Demonstrated end-to-end product ownership.
• Quality and impact of production software delivered.
• Architectural decision-making and technical depth.
• Ability to meet commitments consistently.
• Cross-functional collaboration and communication capability.
• Practical problem-solving under constraints.
