    Description

    At Shift5, we're transforming the future of onboard operational technology (OT). As a rapidly growing company, we focus on advanced cybersecurity, predictive maintenance, and compliance solutions for OT systems in defense, aerospace, and rail industries. We pride ourselves on our innovative team that thrives in a collaborative setting. If you're ready to help us revolutionize the way fleets operate and maximize the potential of onboard OT data, we invite you to join our mission.

    We are currently looking for a skilled Lead Software Engineer with expertise in Rust to develop the core software for our hardware platforms. In this role, you'll be instrumental in crafting and optimizing high-performance code that processes intricate data streams directly from vehicle systems. This position requires low-level systems programming in resource-constrained Linux environments, where your extensive technical knowledge will be utilized to enhance hardware efficiencies and ensure peak performance and dependability.

    Your contributions will be vital in processing real-time data from communication buses such as MIL-STD-1553, ARINC-429, and CAN. You'll transform raw protocol information into structured data to drive cybersecurity and operational insights, ensuring reliable data contracts for downstream products and analysis systems.

    Key Responsibilities:

    • Create and enhance high-performance Rust software for real-time data processing on custom, resource-constrained Linux platforms.
    • Design type-safe hardware abstractions while managing complex build dependencies and ensuring memory safety.
    • Develop and maintain code generation pipelines for protocol specifications and translation tables into strongly-typed Rust structures.
    • Implement efficient parsers for complex wire protocols, working at the bit level for precise data models.
    • Optimize software to leverage specific hardware capabilities using in-depth Linux systems knowledge.
    • Design and build concurrent data pipelines using message-passing architectures and lock-free data structures.
    • Debug intricate issues spanning hardware, protocol specifications, and concurrently timed processes.
    • Write thorough unit, functional, and integration tests for protocol parsing, data handling, and hardware integration.
    • Document designs, data flows, architectural choices, and safety-critical code patterns diligently.
    • Integrate with existing C-based APIs and libraries utilizing Rust's FFI, including CMake, autotools, and bindgen.
    • Maintain and enhance core processing software to ensure long-term stability, performance, and adaptability.
    • Collaborate seamlessly with cross-functional teams including hardware engineers, security researchers, and product managers.

    Required Qualifications:

    • U.S. Citizenship.
    • Ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. Government Security Clearance.
    • BS or MS in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent experience.
    • Experience with a shipped, commercial Rust project in production.
    • In-depth understanding of Linux systems programming, including kernel interaction and system-level debugging.
    • Proven proficiency with Git and modern CI/CD practices.
    • Strong communication skills for documenting technical details and engaging with stakeholders.
    • Ability to advocate for architectural improvements and influence technical directions.
    • Demonstrated independence and ownership of complex technical problems.
    • Solid knowledge of data structures and algorithms for high-performance, real-time systems.

    Preferred Qualifications:

    • Active U.S. Government Security Clearance (Secret or higher).
    • Experience with military clients or classified data environments.
    • Experience with software certified under regulatory standards (DO-178, IEC 62304, etc.).
    • A forward and reverse engineering approach for complex data protocols.
    • Familiarity with vehicle, aerospace, or industrial data protocols (e.g., CAN, J1939, MIL-STD-1553, ARINC-429).
    • Experience with lock-free data structures and real-time systems programming.
    • Knowledge of code generation or build-time code processes, with awareness of their complexities.
    • Experience in designing data processing pipelines that accommodate streaming and batching.
    • Experience with containerization tools (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes) for consistent development environments.
    • Experience working in sensitive environments.

    Compensation & Benefits:

    • Base Salary: $182,000 - $232,000.
    • Bonus program and equity in a fast-paced startup.
    • Competitive medical, dental, and vision benefits for you and your family.
    • Health Savings Account with employer contributions.
    • Employer-paid Life and Disability Insurance.
    • Uncapped paid time off.
    • Flexible work and remote work options.
    • Tax-deferred public transit benefits (if applicable).

    Shift5 is dedicated to fostering an inclusive culture that values diversity and representation within our teams. We believe that the most effective and satisfied teams thrive on diverse perspectives and problem-solving approaches. Our goal is to attract and retain talent from all backgrounds, creating a workplace where everyone can be their authentic self.

    Shift5 is an Equal Opportunity Employer. All qualified candidates will be considered for employment regardless of race, color, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability, age, marital status, ancestry, projected veteran status, or other protected classifications.
