Recognized as one of the fastest-growing companies in the Americas by the Financial Times for two consecutive years, we are at the epicenter of innovation and global expansion. Join our dynamic team as we extend our reach across four continents, blending pioneering welding technology with a profound global impact. It's a captivating time to be part of our journey – here, you'll do more than just work; you'll be an integral part of a movement shaping the tech-driven future.
Novarc Technologies is looking for a seasoned Principal Software Developer to lead the architecture and development of our core products.
Summary: As a Principal Software Developer you won't just be writing code; you will be designing robust, high-performance systems that are built to last. You understand that "done" doesn't just mean the code runs—it means the code is tested, documented, and ready for a professional release.
Duties and Responsibilities:
Architect & Build: Take ownership of complex system architectures, ensuring scalability, memory safety, and high performance using Rust and C++.
Ship Quality: Apply your experience in shipping "shrink-wrapped" or commercial-grade software to ensure our releases are stable, polished, and reliable.
Lead Agile Practices: Participate in and refine our Agile processes, helping the team balance rapid iteration with long-term architectural integrity.
Champion Testing: Integrate rigorous automated testing and CI/CD patterns into the development lifecycle. You believe that if it isn’t tested, it’s broken.
Mentor & Collaborate: Work across the stack, potentially touching our cloud services (Golang) or cross-platform UI (Flutter) when needed.
Minimum Qualifications and Experience:
12+ years of professional software development experience.
Systems Mastery: Expert-level proficiency in C++ (modern standards) and Rust. You understand memory management, concurrency, and performance optimization.
Architecture: Proven ability to design modular, maintainable systems from scratch.
The "Shrink-Wrap" Mindset: Experience delivering boxed or high-stakes installed software where quality and backward compatibility are paramount.
Agile Fluency: Deep understanding of Scrum or Kanban, with a focus on delivering incremental value without sacrificing quality.
Cloud/Backend: Experience with Golang for building high-concurrency microservices.
Frontend/Mobile: Experience with Flutter/Dart for building beautiful, high-performance user interfaces.
Security: Knowledge of memory-safe programming practices and security audits.
Robotics: Familiarity with ROS/ROS2 concepts, including nodes, topics, services, and message passing.
