Job description

The opportunity
Join a team building cloud-connected software platforms, where you’ll be the person who makes sure every feature is technically sound and clearly defined, and ready for engineers before a single line of code is written. You’ll work closely with product managers, developers, and project leads to take ideas from concept to a well-documented, testable plan, following an Automotive SPICE (ASPICE) development process.

Your day-to-day

  • Break down new product requests, confirm they’re technically achievable, and flag risks and gaps early.
  • Write technical requirement documents, design API contracts in OpenAPI/Swagger, and sketch the system flows and dependencies behind each feature.
  • Bridge two worlds: keep work moving in Agile sprints while meeting the documentation and traceability standards of the V-Model.
  • Dig into logs and traces when integration tests fail, find the root cause, and help engineering fix it fast.
  • Work with engineering leads and project managers on effort estimates and delivery timelines.
  • Own the paperwork that matters: test evidence and verification records that get the team through ASPICE assessments.

What we need from you

  • 5+ years in systems engineering, technical business analysis, or solution architecture for cloud software.
  • Real ASPICE experience: you’ve taken at least two long-running projects all the way through assessment, including evidence and audit prep.
  • Solid API design skills across REST, GraphQL, and gRPC.
  • Comfortable troubleshooting with tools like DataDog and AWS CloudWatch.
  • Day-to-day fluency with Jama, Jira, Confluence, Postman, and Swagger.
  • A degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or similar.
  • Strong written and spoken English.
