proteanTecs is looking for a Software Team Leader to join the ride as we spearhead the next revolution in electronics!

Responsibilities:

• Lead a team delivering multi-architecture, cross-platform C++ software for Linux and Windows, from design through deployment in advanced test equipment.
• Drive execution: planning, prioritization, milestones, and delivery commitments in collaboration with product and other engineering stakeholders.
• Provide technical leadership hands-on when needed (design reviews, critical coding/debugging, technical deep-dives), while keeping day-to-day development tasks delegated and scalable.
• Grow and develop the team: mentoring, coaching, onboarding, goal-setting, feedback, and performance management; support hiring and team composition.
• Establish and improve engineering practices: coding standards, code reviews, CI/CD, testing strategy, release processes, and quality gates.
• Promote effective methodologies and workflows (e.g., Agile/Scrum/Kanban), including estimation, retrospectives, and continuous improvement.
• Collaborate in a multidisciplinary environment across scientific and engineering disciplines; support customer-facing integration and complex debugging escalations when required.

Requirements:

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical, Computer, or Software Engineering, or Computer Science (or equivalent experience).
• 7+ years of software design and development experience, including strong proficiency in modern C++ (C++17) on Linux and Windows.
• 2+ years leading engineers (team lead / tech lead / manager), with demonstrated ability to mentor, align, and deliver through others.
• Solid understanding of software architecture, performance considerations, debugging, and reliability in production-like environments.
• Practical experience with modern build and delivery tooling (e.g., CMake, scripting, Docker, GitHub Actions/CI pipelines, Git workflows).
• Proven ability to define and enforce engineering processes: code review practices, testing strategy, documentation, and release management.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills; able to translate technical constraints into clear plans and decisions.

Preferred Qualifications

• Familiarity with additional languages used for tooling or interfaces (Python, Java, C#).
• Experience working directly with customers on integration, escalations, and field debugging.
• Background in post-silicon test or automated test equipment environments (e.g., Advantest, Teradyne).
