Overview

Job Description

In Q4 2023, Intel announced Altera will be reported as a separate business unit beginning on January 1, 2024, with ongoing support from Intel. This position is associated to that standalone business strategy and is expected to fully transition to a standalone company at some time in the future.

Responsibilities

• Lead the charge in the conceptualization and implementation of a cutting-edge modular code architecture, setting the stage for a more robust, scalable, and maintainable codebase.
• Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to analyze existing coding frameworks, identifying areas for enhancement and integration of best practices in modularity.
• Design and develop sophisticated APIs that appropriately work with both API users and the existing backend technology.
• Employ an inventive approach to refactor and restructure existing code, ensuring that code is optimized for performance, reusability, and coherence.
• Be prepared to move quickly and take on risk.
• Experience working in a modern large scale modular code base.
• Proficiency in data structures and algorithms, with a particular focus on graph theory and its application in electronic design automation (EDA) tools.
• Experience in creating long lived APIs, network protocols or file formats.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in computer science, electrical engineering, or a related field.
• Minimum of 8 years of professional experience in software development.
