Vacatures in Mander

Do you get thrilled by designing and evolving software platforms? Do you have a background in software architecture and development? Are you interested in working for a growing and innovative high-tech company, where passion and innovation are part of our core values? We'd love to have you!

Movella is transforming how people move through intelligent sensor and motion capture technologies. Whether it’s helping athletes train smarter, enabling lifelike virtual characters, or tracking motion for rehabilitation and ergonomics, we empower innovation through precision motion data — across entertainment, sports, health, and automation.
Movella is a portfolio company of Francisco Partners, visit www.movella.com and https://www.franciscopartners.com/investments/movella to learn more.

We are seeking a visionary yet hands-on Senior Software Architect / System Architect to design and evolve the software platform at the core of Movella’s next-generation products.

You will be responsible for defining system architecture across mobile, desktop, embedded, and cloud, while actively contributing code and owning key components. This role bridges hardware, firmware, and software, and will shape how we stream real-time sensor data, integrate AI, and deliver intuitive, robust applications.

Strong hands-on experience with modern C++ is essential, as much of our core platform is built in C++ with critical performance and system-level requirements.

This is not a management role — you will lead by technical example, working shoulder-to-shoulder with other engineers.

Key challenges:

• Define and evolve the architecture for complex, multi-platform systems (desktop, mobile, embedded, cloud).

• Design and implement real-time data streaming from sensors to cloud/desktop/mobile endpoints.

• Apply Domain-Driven Design (DDD) and Clean Architecture principles to build robust, maintainable systems.

• Contribute directly to codebases, building core modules, prototypes, and proofs-of-concept.

• Lead efforts to modernize and refactor legacy systems with minimal disruption.

• Work closely with hardware and firmware teams to ensure seamless system integration.

• Introduce and evaluate new technologies, including AI, edge computing, and scalable cloud services.

• Mentor teams in system design, software quality, and platform thinking.

• Champion best practices in CI/CD, testing, DevOps, and code quality.

Movella is looking for a strong system-level thinker. Someone who thrives at the intersection of hardware, firmware, and software. You have:

• 8+ years of software architecture and development experience, with a focus on real-time, multi-platform systems.

• Extensive hands-on experience with modern C++ (C++ 17/20), including multithreading, performance tuning, and low-level systems development.

• Strong grasp of modern software engineering practices and patterns, including DDD and Clean Architecture.

• Proven experience with real-time data streaming and interfacing with sensors or embedded systems.

• Solid experience with multi-platform development (Windows, Linux, iOS, Android).

• Comfortable designing or collaborating closely with embedded systems, firmware, and hardware interfaces.

• Familiarity with modern cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP) and microservices architecture.

• Excellent communication and collaboration skills across disciplines.

• Degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field — or equivalent experience.

Nice to have

• Experience in motion capture, robotics, sensor fusion, or IoT products.

• Experience with AI/ML integration in embedded or real-time systems.

• Experience with Agile, CI/CD pipelines, and DevOps workflows.

Not sure if you tick every box? That’s okay. If you are an experienced engineer who enjoys designing systems and writing code and wants to work on cutting-edge sensor-based platforms, we’d love to hear from you.

Movella is made up of people who are inquisitive and entrepreneurial by nature. You’ll find support at every level, an open door to every level, and cooperation across teams, disciplines, and departments.
