About the role
Key responsibilities & impact- Set architectural direction for cross-platform API components including threading, file I/O, hashing, work queues, and memory management
- Lead architecture and delivery of the centralized on-sensor ML inference runtime
- Design the stable C API, out-of-process execution and sandboxing model, and backend selection/versioning policy
- Decide what is implemented once versus per platform and what runs in-process versus out-of-process
- Drive adoption of platform APIs through linting, automated code review, and usage guidance
- Participate in design and code reviews
- Hire, coach, and grow engineers through feedback and career investment
- Lead recruitment from initial contact through onboarding
- Build team cohesion and resolve interpersonal friction
- Support resourcing decisions, career development, and difficult conversations
- Own project resourcing, workload, quality, support escalations, and delivery priorities
- Improve end-to-end testing and validation for correctness- and compatibility-critical components
- Build tooling to validate against the platform without building the full sensor
- Create a data-driven roadmap using performance telemetry and defect trends
- Communicate investment needs and progress to senior leadership
- Collaborate with Windows, Linux, and macOS engineering teams, platform infrastructure, product, and program management
- Represent the team in cross-functional discussions and provide technical recommendations
Requirements
What you’ll need- Proven experience managing software engineering teams, built on a strong foundation as a software developer
- Deep expertise in C and/or C++ in both user-mode and kernel-mode environments
- Strong grounding in API and interface design, including interface clarity, ABI stability, backward compatibility, and managing downstream impact of breaking changes
- Cross-platform experience across Windows, Linux, and macOS
- Familiarity with out-of-process architecture patterns, sandboxed service isolation, IPC, and process-boundary performance tradeoffs
- Experience owning production software at scale
- Strong design and problem-solving skills
- Demonstrated success mentoring, coaching, and developing engineers
- Experience leading distributed teams
- Strong cross-functional collaboration skills
- Clear, direct communication from individual contributors to executive leadership
- Intellectual curiosity and commitment to deeply understanding systems
- Ability and willingness to travel occasionally for team offsites and in-person meetings
- Proven experience utilizing AI technologies to enhance decision-making, streamline workflows and processes, improve efficiency and drive business outcomes
- Bonus: endpoint security, EDR, kernel-level software, or sensor platform engineering experience
- Bonus: cross-platform API layers in large C/C++ codebases
- Bonus: on-device ML inference infrastructure, including ML models and SLMs on resource-constrained endpoints
- Bonus: hardware-accelerated inference across GPU, NPU, and Apple Neural Engine
- Bonus: ONNX Runtime, OpenVINO, or Core ML
- Bonus: out-of-process inference pipelines and low-latency IPC
- Bonus: fleet-scale model lifecycle management
- Bonus: cross-language integration surfaces such as C APIs consumed from Rust, Swift, and C++
- Bonus: API governance tooling, lint rules, automated policy checks, and feedback loops
- Bonus: leading teams through significant growth or expanding scope
- Bonus: reliability at massive fleet scale
