Principal SW Engineer
Y Soft, Prague
About the job
At Y Soft, we’re shaping the next generation of RFID/NFC card readers for printers - redefining them as connected, remotely managed solutions. Our products are truly unique, seamlessly blending hardware and software, and are fully designed, developed, and manufactured in the Czech Republic.
We're looking for a Principal Software Developer to own the technical direction of software across our hardware products - someone who thrives on the hardest, most ambiguous problems and can take them all the way from a blank whiteboard to production.
What you´ll do
- Own the software architecture and technical direction for a broad product area - not just a single feature or component.
- Lead design and delivery of the most complex, high-risk features and system integrations, including problems with no established precedent.
- Define and evolve the team's engineering standards, coding guidelines, and Definition of Done.
- Drive resolution of the team's hardest technical debt and cross-component quality issues.
- Guide troubleshooting and root-cause analysis on the toughest HW/SW integration issues — hands-on, and by mentoring others through them.
- Evaluate and introduce new technologies, tools, and practices, weighing long-term maintainability against short-term gains.
