Senior Software Architect

Speedata is modernizing analytics infrastructure with the first purpose-built ASIC processor, the Analytics Processing Unit (APU), for analytics and AI data workloads. Delivering up to 100x faster Apache Spark performance while cutting infrastructure TCO by 90%, the APU executes analytics operations directly in silicon with seamless integration and no code changes.

We’re looking for a Hands-On Architect who loves solving complex system-level problems - and still wants to write code.

This is a cross-cutting role focused on making the entire engineering organization faster, more productive, and more reliable.

Requirements:

• Deep, hands-on C++ expertise - a must

• Strong understanding of memory management, object lifetime, concurrency, compiler/linker behavior, and process behavior

• Experience working with multiple languages and runtimes, ideally C++, Python, and JVM

• Hands-on experience with developer infrastructure such as build systems, CI/CD, artifact/binary caches, and release tooling

• Strong approach to system stability, testing, debugging, and observability

• Experience improving engineering workflows with AI coding tools/agents

• Ability to lead architectural decisions while remaining highly hands-on

Nice to have

• Experience with databases/query engines, Kubernetes, or distributed systems is a strong advantage.

Responsibilities:

• Design and implement solutions across C++, Python, and JVM environments

• Improve build systems, CI/CD, dependency management, caching, packaging, and release tooling

• Identify engineering bottlenecks and build solutions that improve developer productivity across the organization

• Improve system stability through testing, tracing, observability, regression testing, and performance gates

• Work across runtime and system boundaries, from applications down to drivers, DMA/IOMMU, and kernel interfaces

• Help define how engineering teams effectively use AI coding agents, including repository-level instructions, shared skills, and guardrails

• Drive cross-team technical initiatives and contribute to repositories owned by different teams
