As Lead Software Engineer, you own the design and delivery of a core area of that platform: such as the data pipelines, cloud infrastructure, or a major internal or customer-facing tool and act as the technical lead for a small group of engineers. You report into the VP of Software and are based at our San Francisco engineering office., * Own the technical design and delivery plan for a defined area of the platform (e.g., data systems, cloud infrastructure, or a specific tooling surface), turning org-level roadmap priorities into concrete engineering work. * Lead day-to-day technical direction for a small group of engineers, reviewing designs and code and mentoring less experienced engineers. * Set architecture within your area that keeps systems secure, reliable, and built to scale as the campus fleet grows. * Drive the development lifecycle for your area end to end: roadmap input, prioritization, release, monitoring, and iteration. * Help maintain the data pipelines or interfaces your area shares with the autonomy/robotics team, without owning onboard autonomy software. * Help uphold engineering standards, security practices, and reliability processes for the systems you own. * Partner with the VP of Software on hiring and roadmap input, without owning org-wide strategy or leadership-team responsibilities. ## Related Videos - [From Messy Queries to Scalable Systems - How Data Engineering actually works](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100203-from-messy-queries-to-scalable-systems-how-data-engineering-actually-works) - [The Sustainability Race: AI's Promises, Pitfalls and Potential](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100155-the-sustainability-race-ai-s-promises-pitfalls-and-potential) - [Why and when should we consider Stream Processing frameworks in our solutions](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1085-why-and-when-should-we-consider-stream-processing-frameworks-in-our-solutions) - [Data Science, ML & AI in the Oil and Gas Industry at NDT Global - Dr. Katja Träumner](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1308-data-science-ml-ai-in-the-oil-and-gas-industry-at-ndt-global-dr-katja-traumner) - [Modern Data Architectures need Software Engineering](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1030-modern-data-architectures-need-software-engineering) - [The Data Mesh as the end of the Datalake as we know it](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/156-the-data-mesh-as-the-end-of-the-datalake-as-we-know-it) ## Related Articles - [What is Software Engineering?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/289-what-is-software-engineering) - [How to Become an AI Engineer](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/331-how-to-become-an-ai-engineer) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [What’s the Difference between a Junior, Mid, and Senior Developer?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/238-what-s-the-difference-between-a-junior-mid-and-senior-developer) - [How to Answer the Interview Question: “Why Do You Want to Be a Software Engineer?”](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/392-how-to-answer-the-interview-question-why-do-you-want-to-be-a-software-engineer) - [Where To Find Software Engineering Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/396-where-to-find-software-engineering-jobs)
