Intellias is launching and scaling a strategic automotive software project in cooperation with Major OEM. We are looking for aLead Developerwho will take over technical ownership during the handover phase and drive the project forward. This role is ideal for a technically strong leader who enjoys building stable, safety‐critical embedded systems, shaping architecture, and guiding teams in an international, high‐impact automotive environment.Project Overview: The project consists of software systems that are part of autonomous and automated driving ecosystem: 1)In‐vehicle software platform that processes large volumes of vehicle and driving‐stack data. It enables system debugging, analytics, AI/ML pipelines, and continuous improvement of autonomous driving functions. System components are based on software‐defined data‐collection approach. 2)In-vehicle automated driving events logging. It continuously records and preserves critical vehicle and AD data to allow reliable reconstruction of crashes and near‐crash situations. DSSx is a regulatory and forensic foundation for Level 2–4 automated driving and is already undergoing homologation, with further regulatory deliveries planned.Both systems are already largely implemented. The upcoming phase focuses on stability, robustness, regulatory extensions, and selected new features, providing an excellent setup for technical leadership, knowledge transfer, and shaping long‐term quality.Requirements: C++; Bazel; Zuul; Github; Codebeamer; GDB; DLT; Jira; - Will be a plus: Embedded SW Development for Automotive; Adaptive AutoSAR.Responsibilities: As a Lead Developer, you will act as the technical cornerstone of the project at Intellias: Take over technical leadership during the transition to Intellias; Own and evolve component architecture, design decisions, and technical roadmap; Ensure code quality, robustness, and long‐term maintainability; Lead and support the development team through mentoring and technical guidance; Drive implementation, refactoring, and stabilization activities; Ensure proper documentation, traceability, unit and integration testing; Act as the main technical counterpart towards OEM stakeholders; Support SCRUM execution and ensure alignment with defined project KPIs; Prepare the system for upcoming regulatory and homologation milestones;What we offer: 22 days of annual leave per year + 3 paid sick leaves; Flexible working hours & hybrid work model; Permanent contract; Health Insurance (employee); Modern, well-equipped office in the centre of Porto; Intellias Communities (Tech, Language Clubs, Sports, Books, Parents); Coverflex benefits; Snacks and drinks at the office; Access to discount platform.Why this position: Start and shape a project : You will not just join a running team—you will help establish Intellias as the technical owner of a critical data platform. High technical impact : The systems you build directly support development of automated driving technology. Growth and leadership : This role combines deep hands‐on engineering with architectural and team leadership responsibilities.
