Director Level - AI Inference Software Development Leader - Vancouver ***Completed***
Our client develops industry-leading AI inference engines and they are the #1 provider of eFPGA solutions. Their product is the industry’s fastest and most-efficient AI edge inference accelerator that brings AI to high-volume applications. Their architecture is covered by dozens of patents and is highly differentiated giving us a sustainable competitive advantage.
They recently completed a large funding round, and the growth is led by a seasoned CEO with significant past successes. They are now seeking a Software Leader to build a team of Inference Software Developers in Vancouver developing state-of-the-art inference software for their product. Your exact role and title will depend on your technical strengths and management experience: they are growing the team >2x and have multiple leadership roles. They have already begun development of our next generation accelerator.
This is an exceptional opportunity to develop the technology that breathes life into AI inferencing solutions targeting systems in medical, industrial, automotive and other Enterprise edge applications.
RESPONSIBILITIES
Your exact role and reporting relationship will depend on your skill set, experience and proven management capability. The software team is growing fast and in 2022/23 need to more than double in size including software leadership. At a minimum we want a Leader who can manage the Applications and/or Pre-compiler which are teams that need to be built from scratch to work with the existing teams - for this you must have proven capability in managing similar teams of 25+ people. Ideally you have proven experience in managing teams of 100+ people and could have a broader role.
EXPERIENCE AND SKILL REQUIRED
Extensive relevant industry experience and proven ability to build, manage and drive of teams of 25+ to >100 software developers. AI/NN expertise is not required but desired.
Experience of leading a team in development of system-level software or embedded systems in Windows or Linux in C++ is required. You are not an implementer but you need to be technically strong. Our software is hardware-centric so strength in computer engineering/architecture is important.
Excellent understanding of software development engineering practices, workflow, schedule dependencies.
Must be passionate about being part of an aggressive, venture-backed startup team that is changing the way chips are architected, designed, and programmed.
Must be entrepreneurial, innovative problem solver and willing to work hard.
Must live in Greater Vancouver and be a Canadian citizen or have Permanent Residency.
