Overview

Why This Role Matters

Expleo USA is seeking a technical leader to drive Over-the-Air (OTA) platform development for connected vehicle ecosystems.

 

You will lead the design and delivery of systems responsible for securely deploying software and firmware updates across vehicle fleets - ensuring reliability, traceability, and performance at scale.

This is a platform ownership role, not just application development. You’ll operate at the intersection of cloud engineering, vehicle systems, and large-scale distributed architecture.

What You’ll Do

  • Own the OTA platform architecture supporting connected vehicle environments
  • Design and deliver secure, scalable update distribution systems for vehicle software and firmware
  • Build and evolve event-driven, microservices-based platforms that manage update orchestration, validation, and deployment
  • Ensure end-to-end reliability including versioning, rollback strategies, auditability, and failure recovery
  • Integrate across vehicle systems, telematics platforms, and enterprise backend services
  • Lead a global engineering team while remaining hands-on in development
  • Drive engineering excellence across performance, security, observability, and system resilience
  • Translate complex requirements into scalable, production-ready solutions
  • Lead resolution of critical production issues impacting live environments

What You Bring

  • 8+ years building scalable, distributed systems or platforms
  • Strong expertise in C#, .NET Core, and backend architecture
  • Experience with microservices and event-driven systems
  • Solid understanding of API design, system integration, and data modeling
  • Experience with cloud platforms (Azure preferred) and containerization (Docker, Kubernetes)
  • Familiarity with CQRS, event sourcing, and message-driven architectures
  • Proven ability to lead technically while staying hands-on
  • Strong communication and stakeholder management skills

Preferred (Automotive / OTA Depth)

  • Experience with OTA platforms, telematics systems, or connected devices (IoT)
  • Exposure to automotive software ecosystems (ECUs, firmware updates, diagnostics)
  • Understanding of secure update delivery, encryption/signing, and validation workflows
  • Experience supporting large-scale, mission-critical deployments

What Sets This Role Apart

  • Direct impact on how software is deployed to vehicles and edge environments at scale
  • Work on systems where reliability, security, and precision are critical
  • Opportunity to shape next-generation OTA capabilities in a global environment
  • High-visibility role bridging cloud engineering and real-world systems
