About the Role
As Team Lead of the HAL Engineering group, you will guide a team of talented C engineers to deliver the software foundation of our NOS. You’ll combine technical leadership with team mentorship, ensuring that the HAL layer is robust, performant, and future-proof.
This is both a hands-on and people-focused role: you’ll still code, but also set direction, coach engineers, and drive execution.
What You’ll Do
Lead a team (10-15 engineers) delivering HAL components of the NOS.
Set priorities, review code, and enforce high-quality engineering practices.
Coordinate with hardware engineering, control plane, QA, and product teams.
Provide technical mentorship: help engineers grow in ASIC/driver-level expertise.
Define sprint goals and ensure timely delivery of features and bug fixes.
Act as the voice of the HAL team in architectural and planning discussions.
What We’re Looking For
Strong background in C/Linux systems programming and networking protocols.
Experience leading engineering teams (formal management or tech lead capacity).
Familiarity with vendor SDKs and low-level hardware/software integration.
Strong communication skills: ability to bridge hardware, control plane, and QA.
Passion for mentoring and building high-performing teams.
Career Opportunity
This is not a maintenance role — you’ll lead the creation of a brand-new HAL layer for a greenfield NOS. You will grow into a key leadership position as our engineering organization scales from dozens to hundreds of engineers.
