Intellias is launching and scaling a strategic automotive software project in cooperation with Major OEM. We are looking for a Lead Developer who will take over technical ownership during the handover phase and drive the project forward.

This role is ideal for a technically strong leader who enjoys building stable, safety‑critical embedded systems, shaping architecture, and guiding teams in an international, high‑impact automotive environment.

What project we have for you

Please provide detailed Client/Project description:
The project consists of software systems that are part of autonomous and automated driving ecosystem:

1) In‑vehicle software platform that processes large volumes of vehicle and driving‑stack data. It enables system debugging, analytics, AI/ML pipelines, and continuous improvement of autonomous driving functions. System components are based on software‑defined data‑collection approach.

2) In-vehicle automated driving events logging. It continuously records and preserves critical vehicle and AD data to allow reliable reconstruction of crashes and near‑crash situations. DSSx is a regulatory and forensic foundation for Level 2–4 automated driving and is already undergoing homologation, with further regulatory deliveries planned.

Both systems are already largely implemented. The upcoming phase focuses on stability, robustness, regulatory extensions, and selected new features, providing an excellent setup for technical leadership, knowledge transfer, and shaping long‑term quality.
