The opportunity timeline

• Overview

  Volkswagen is hiring a Lead Software Engineer in Roswell, NM.

• Role description

  At Volkswagen, the best Lead Software Engineer isn't the one who writes the most code but the one whose Kotlin decisions age the gracefully. Here $109,000 - $150,000 buys not just your time but a stake in the technology work, the kind Volkswagen trusts lead people to steer.

  Key Responsibilities

  • Own the Interpersonal Skills release that Roswell leadership has circled on the calendar
  • Resurrect flaky Kotlin tests until the Roswell, NM suite is trustworthy again
  • Pull Volkswagen's PostgreSQL stack out of the NM region before the migration deadline
  • Architect fault-tolerant distributed systems leveraging Jest and Kotlin
  • Set the Coaching coding standards the rest of Volkswagen engineering follows
  • Ship the data-honest Jest features that move Volkswagen's technology roadmap forward

  What You'll Bring

  • Experience supporting cross-functional teams in a lead capacity
  • Ansible fundamentals plus the Jest polish clients notice
  • Comfort being measured against a clear lead bar
  • A team player who lifts up colleagues and shares credit
  • Sound instincts for reading a room you've never been in before

  The founders of Volkswagen left bigger companies to build something people-first in Roswell, and technology has been better for it. A full-time role with us means real responsibility, real trust, and real support behind you.

  For this Lead Software Engineer role we offer $109,000 - $150,000, a mentor who has walked the path, and benefits designed for life outside Volkswagen.

  We are filling this Lead Software Engineer seat now, with onboarding planned for the near term.

  Your Coaching deserves a stage bigger than your current one, and Volkswagen has it.
