Software Tech Lead

Role Summary

Lead a team building cross-platform system and desktop software (Python backend, Electron-based desktop UI using Angular) for real-time data collection, processing and visualization on Linux and Windows. Combine hands-on development with architecture, code reviews, mentoring, and cross-functional integration with hardware and firmware teams.

Experience Level

Senior — typically requires 7+ years of software development experience and 2+ years of technical or team leadership.

Responsibilities

Deliver and own technical design, implementation, and delivery of cross-platform system software while leading and developing the team.

• Lead development of cross-platform desktop/system software for Linux and Windows (Python backend, Electron/Angular UI).
• Design backend components, APIs, IPC/RPC flows and multi-process services for real-time data collection and processing.
• Guide frontend development in Angular and ensure robust integration between UI and backend.
• Contribute hands-on to implementation, debugging, and performance tuning.
• Drive software quality via automated testing, CI/CD, build and release processes.
• Coordinate priorities and execution with product, QA, hardware and firmware teams.
• Hire, onboard, mentor and manage engineers; improve engineering practices and delivery processes.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills, experience, and leadership for immediate contribution.

• 7+ years relevant software development experience (full-stack, backend or desktop application development).
• 2+ years technical or team leadership experience, including mentoring and driving technical decisions.
• Strong hands-on experience with Python and building backend services or APIs.
• Experience with IPC/RPC or multi-process architectures and cross-process data flows.
• Development experience on Linux and Windows, including desktop packaging/build flows.
• Working knowledge of frontend development and ability to lead Angular-based UI work (TypeScript, HTML, CSS).
• Proficient with Git, debugging, automated testing and standard development workflows.
• Strong communication, problem-solving and cross-functional collaboration skills.

Nice-to-have:

• Experience with Electron desktop apps and UI performance optimization.
• Integrating Python with C/C++ or hardware-facing libraries; embedded communication with devices/boards.
• Familiarity with Docker and CI/CD tools (e.g., GitHub Actions) and hardware-in-the-loop or instrumentation.
