The Role

We're hiring a Senior Software Architect & Technical Lead to own the architecture of PathWave Test Sync Executive — our platform for real-time synchronization and interoperability across Keysight instruments, used in domains such as quantum computing, electronic warfare, and O-RAN test .

We're looking for someone who thinks at the system level but isn't afraid to get hands-on — an architect who can quickly grasp a complex technical vision, make it their own, and implement it with autonomy and sound engineering judgment — whether that means evolving an existing system or shaping a new one. Based in Barcelona, hybrid (minimum 2 days/week on-site).

What We're Looking For
Required

-

- 10+ years of software development, including 5+ years in software architecture

- Strong expertise in modern C++

- Experience with low-level or performance-critical systems (real-time, synchronization, hardware drivers, or embedded systems)

- Deep experience working on large-scale, complex software systems — owning significant parts of the design, not just individual features

- Cross-platform xhfqzwm development (Windows and Linux)

- Experience with CI/CD and modern development workflows and toolchainsStrong communication skills — able to influence across teams and levels

Preferred

-

- Electronics engineering or hardware-adjacent academic background
