Job Description

Stellantis is in the process of transformation from a legacy automotive to a tech mobility company. This transformation requires top talent in software development to create the platforms that the new Stellantis vehicles will be built on. The Connected Services organization in Stellantis is working to build these platforms, enabling remote operations and features that will allow any device to communicate with vehicles remotely. Connected Services will enable new experiences that will convert automobiles into mobile digital hubs and enrich the driving experience.

As a Principal Engineer / Senior Software Development Engineer, you will be part of a small group of developers owning a sub‑system or set of components that forms part of our vehicle software delivery platforms. You will coordinate the design and implementation of features in a platform that will be used to build connected services for millions of vehicles. You will code, but also drive the technical direction, architecture and best development practices for your team. You will guide code reviews, mentor other engineers and advise management on technical direction.

Together with the engineers in your team, you will be responsible for delivering production‑ready code and follow best practices in its design, deployment and operations. We follow the DevOps motto: “You build it, you run it”, which means you are not only responsible for building great software, but also making sure that it runs as expected and, when there are issues, that you fix them as early as possible to avoid end‑customer impact. You exemplify this ownership behaviour for other team members.

Key job responsibilities

• Solve technical problems using simplification as the main strategy to scale our systems.
• Own the architecture of the software your team owns and its technical designs.
• Write code that exemplifies high‑quality, robustness and maintainability and ensure the same quality for your team’s code via code reviews.
• Provide technical leadership and expertise.
• Partner with other development teams in joint projects and to troubleshoot issues.
• Mentor new team members.

Basic qualifications

• Experience as a mentor, tech lead or leading an engineering team.
• Experience leading the architecture and design (architecture, design patterns, reliability, scalability) of cloud systems.
• 12+ years of professional software development experience.
• Experience with at least one modern programming language such as Java, C++ or C#, including object‑oriented design.
• Experience building complex systems that have been delivered to customers.

Preferred qualifications

• 8+ years of full software development life cycle, including coding standards, code reviews, source control management, build processes, testing and software operations.
• Solid experience in offboard automotive cloud and IoT system development.
• Familiarity with onboard systems and protocols such as MQTT is a plus.
• Proven ability to design scalable, secure cloud architectures for connected vehicle ecosystems.
• Strong expertise in integrating data pipelines and real‑time messaging frameworks.
• Capable of leading cross‑functional technical discussions and driving system‑level decisions.
• Bachelor’s degree in computer science or equivalent.

At Stellantis, we assess candidates based on qualifications, merit and business needs. We welcome applications from people of all gender identities, age, ethnicity, nationality, religion, sexual orientation and disability.
