KYRC Principal Software Architect

We are hiring a principal-level engineer to diagnose structural flaws in existing software architecture, design systems that guarantee long-term stability and quality, and lead the engineering organization. 1. Principal Software Architect [Key Responsibilities] 1. Software Design Defect Analysis & Resolution • Identify architectural anti-patterns in existing codebases and perform root-cause analysis • Trace root causes of hard-to-reproduce defects such as performance degradation, memory leaks, and concurrency bugs (race conditions, deadlocks) • Quantify technical debt in legacy systems and build a risk-prioritized improvement roadmap • Propose actionable redesign solutions — including backward-compatibility and migration strategy — rather than purely theoretical proposals 2. Design & Management of Software Stability Assurance Systems • Develop in-house static-analysis diagnostic rules and integrate them into the CI pipeline • Design tiered severity quality gates and enforce them in the build process • Design suppression/waiver governance policy — format validation, deadline management, and automatic severity escalation upon deadline expiration • Establish system-level quality standards for memory safety, exception-handling consistency, and resource-disposal patterns • Establish post-mortem processes based on log/dump analysis following incidents 3. Technical Problem Analysis, Design & Management • Break down cross-team technical challenges, define design direction, and manage assigned engineers' progress • Operate code/design review processes and give final approval on technical decisions • Maintain technical documentation systems such as Architecture Decision Records (ADRs) • Report technical risks and progress status to executives and other departments [Required Qualification] Education Bachelor's degree (BS) or higher in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field - required Master's degree (MS), Ph.D. — preferred Experience 15+ years of hands-on software development experience, including 5+ years in an architecture/technical-lead role 3+ years managing an engineering team (team size of 5 or more) Experience leading technical evaluation Programming Languages & Technology Stack • C#: Expert-level with .NET (Framework/Core/5+), asynchronous programming (async/await, Task), LINQ, and memory management (including GC tuning) • C++: Hands-on experience with modern C++ (11 and later), RAII, smart pointers, and template metaprogramming • Interoperability experience between the two languages (P/Invoke, C++/CLI, etc.) — preferred System-Level Understanding • File I/O: File-system structure, buffering/caching strategies, performance characteristics of large-file processing, file locking and concurrent-access control • Database (covering RDB / NoSQL / File-based DB): Understanding of internal behavior, consistency models, and integration with query engines • OS: Process/thread models, memory management, kernel/user-mode transitions, and platform differences between Windows and Linux Quality & Design Competency • Experience developing or customizing static-analysis tools • Deep understanding and practical application of design and architecture patterns (Layered, Hexagonal, Event-Driven, etc.) • Experience designing CI/CD pipelines and building quality gates • Experience automating test design/structuring — distinct from test-execution automation — including identifying test targets, generating test scaffolding, and managing coverage • Experience identifying technical debt through code review and formulating refactoring strategy Communication • Business-level English (capable of documentation, video conference, and technical discussion) • Ability to explain technical content to non-technical stakeholders [Preferred Qualification] Domain experience in industrial automation, Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES), semiconductor/electronics equipment, or robotics Experience leading gradual migration/modernization projects for large-scale legacy system Experience using and driving team adoption of AI coding assitants (Claude Code, GitHub, Gopiolt, etc) Contributions to open-source static-analystis tools, or experience distributing internally developed tooling Experience working with multinational teams Expeirence designing large-scale data pipelines (ETL/ELT, hybrid batch + streaming)

Diagnose structural flaws in existing software architecture and design systems to ensure long-term stability and quality. Lead the engineering organization by managing technical challenges, overseeing code reviews, and reporting risks to executives.

Requires a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or related field with over 15 years of software development experience, including 5+ years in architecture and 3+ years of team management. Expert-level proficiency in C#/.NET and hands-on experience with modern C++ is essential.
