Software Technical Leader

About us

We are a global technology company focused on developing innovative solutions for industrial and engineering applications. Our products combine advanced software, data, and technology platforms to help customers solve complex operational challenges. Driven by innovation and continuous improvement, we provide an environment where talented professionals can contribute to impactful products used by organizations around the world.

For our  Pisa- based office we are looking for a  Software Technical Leader  to drive the design and delivery of complex software products end to end. You’ll combine strong hands-on engineering expertise (modern C++, Qt, distributed messaging, secure communications, REST APIs, and relational databases) with leadership across product definition, roadmap execution, and team enablement. You’ll be a key decision-maker, setting technical direction, ensuring engineering excellence, and partnering closely with Product Management to deliver high-quality, scalable, and secure software on predictable timelines.

What we want you to do:

Technical Leadership & Execution

Own architecture  for core components and services, with an emphasis on modularity, performance, reliability, and security-by-design.
Lead development  using modern C++ (C++17/C++20), Qt (Widgets and/or QML), ZeroMQ, POCO, OpenSSL, and RESTful APIs defined with OpenAPI.
Implement secure communication  and cryptographic best practices using OpenSSL (TLS, certificate management, key handling).
Model and optimize data  flows using relational databases (schema design, indexing, transactions, migrations).
Mentor senior engineers  through pairing, design sessions, and structured feedback; elevate team standards and practices.
Drive incident prevention and resolution  via root-cause analysis and sustainable corrective actions.

Product Management Partnership

Requirements discovery & refinement:  collaborate with stakeholders to translate needs into clear, testable specifications and technical plans, aligning technical milestones with product goals.
Prioritization & Task assignment:  apply value/effort trade-offs, decompose epics into deliverable increments, and maintain a healthy backlog.
Allocate work across the project team:  using Agile techniques

What would we like to see:

Modern C++  (C++17/C++20)
Qt Framework (GUI) :
Qt Widgets and/or Qt Quick; signals/slots, models/views, resource management, threading.
POCO Libraries : networking, HTTP/REST, multithreading, file system, utilities.
REST APIs  with  OpenAPI : spec-first design, client/server generation, versioning, and documentation.
Relational Databases : schema design, SQL proficiency, transactions, performance tuning.
Git : branching strategies (e.g., Git Flow/Trunk), code review workflows, release tagging.
Bachelor’s/Master’s in Computer Science, Electrical/Computer Engineering, or equivalent experience.
6+ years in professional software development with 2+ years in a  lead/architect  capacity (or equivalent impact).

It will be considered a plus:

Conan 2 : C++ package management, reproducible builds, internal artifact repositories.
ZeroMQ : patterns (REQ/REP, PUB/SUB, PUSH/PULL), multipart messaging, reliability considerations.
OpenSSL : TLS configuration, certificates/PKI, key/cipher management, secure channel integration.
Cybersecurity knowledge : threat modeling, secure coding guidelines, SAST/DAST, CVE triage, dependency risk management (SBOM).
Qt OpenGL and QLM :  OpenGLWidgets  integration, rendering pipelines, performance considerations.

Experience with  CI/CD  (e.g., Git Hub Actions, Git Lab CI, Azure Pipelines), containerization, and artifact management.

Experience with  Agile  (and Scrum) methodology

Compensation:

We offer a permanent employment contract. The final compensation offered will depend on factors such as experience, qualifications, technical expertise, and overall fit for the role.
Annual gross salary range: €50.000 - 55.000
