Join a pioneering start-up that's transforming how the world experiences sound. Their AI-driven audio technology is already used across global communications, media, and mission-critical environments and they're now looking for a Software Engineering Manager to lead a talented team of C++ and Embedded Software Engineers.

In this role, you'll oversee the design and delivery of a cutting-edge, cross-platform SDK that brings real-time AI audio processing to developers worldwide. You'll set the technical direction, mentor engineers, and ensure high engineering standards across the full development lifecycle.

What you'll be doing:

  • Leading, mentoring, and growing a team of C++ and Embedded Software Engineers
  • Defining SDK architecture and delivery strategy for high-performance, cross-platform systems
  • Driving excellence in code quality, testing, and CI/CD practices
  • Partnering with AI researchers and product teams
  • Engaging with external developers and partners to support SDK adoption and integration

Requirements

  • Proven experience as a line manager
  • Strong technical background in modern C++ and embedded software development
  • Experience with SDKs, firmware, or real-time systems (audio/media ideal)
  • Familiarity with AI model integration is advantageous
  • Exposure to GPU acceleration is advantageous

Nice to have:

  • Experience with audio DSP, plugin, or media SDK development (JUCE, VST, AU, AAX)

If you're an engineering leader who thrives on building exceptional teams and world-class software at the intersection of AI and embedded systems, this is your chance to make a real impact.
