Head of Software
The role
Adder Technology is looking for a Head of Software who wants to shape the trajectory of a business whose products are trusted in mission-critical environments across the globe. This is a role for a senior software leader with the technical depth to challenge architecture and the leadership presence to unite teams, raise standards and improve delivery predictability, but never compromising the reliability our customers depend on.
You’ll lead the full software function: embedded Linux on Xilinx/Intel SoCs, x86 Linux applications, low-level C/C++ with an increasing use of modern languages where it makes sense, and the tooling that turns engineering excellence into repeatable delivery - CI/CD, automated testing, disciplined release control.
Skills & experience
We’re an employee-owned company, which means your impact lands directly with the people building the future. You’ll bring coherence across distributed teams, drive a platform-based approach and create an environment where high-caliber and high potential engineers do the best work of their careers.
If you’re motivated by a tough challenge, set high standards for yourself and others, and take real ownership, come and build what’s next at Adder.
