Job Description

The Intel Programmable Solutions Group (PSG) is now Altera, an Intel Company. Altera prioritizes customers with end-to-end FPGAs, accessible AI, software, and supply resilience.

In Q4 2023, Intel announced PSG will be reported as a separate business unit beginning on January 1, 2024, with ongoing support from Intel. This position is associated to that standalone business strategy and is expected to fully transition to a standalone company at some time in the future.

Specifically, you will be part of Altera Programmable Software and Solutions (PSaS) DevOps Team (also known as SPES).

If you aspire to grow into a strong software architect candidate within the next 3-5 years, this is your opportunity.

Software development leads are technical leaders primarliy focusing on the technical aspects of software development, often with hands-on coding and debugging involvement. They guide the team on technology matters, including code reviews and design. Their primary objective is to ensure the successful delivery of a software product that meets the specified acceptance criteria.
This is an essential role because the team is planning a convergence of existing monolithic web and analytics applications under a single unified UX (user-experience) framework and a major architecture overhaul into microservices based (MACH) architecture.

The lead expected to collaborate closely with stakeholders, developers, and other team members to translate business requirements into scalable and efficient software solutions. Again, these are individuals aspiring to grow as software architects within the next 3-5 years.
