Team Lead - HAL Engineering
Dubai, United Arab Emirates
Full timeHybrid
Job description
About the Role
As Team Lead of the HAL Engineering group, you will guide a team of talented C engineers to deliver the software foundation of our NOS. You’ll combine technical leadership with team mentorship, ensuring that the HAL layer is robust, performant, and future-proof.
This is both a hands-on and people-focused role: you’ll still code, but also set direction, coach engineers, and drive execution.
What You’ll Do
-
Lead a team (10-15 engineers) delivering HAL components of the NOS.
-
Set priorities, review code, and enforce high-quality engineering practices.
-
Coordinate with hardware engineering, control plane, QA, and product teams.
-
Provide technical mentorship: help engineers grow in ASIC/driver-level expertise.
-
Define sprint goals and ensure timely delivery of features and bug fixes.
-
Act as the voice of the HAL team in architectural and planning discussions.
What We’re Looking For
-
Strong background in C/Linux systems programming and networking protocols.
-
Experience leading engineering teams (formal management or tech lead capacity).
-
Familiarity with vendor SDKs and low-level hardware/software integration.
-
Strong communication skills: ability to bridge hardware, control plane, and QA.
-
Passion for mentoring and building high-performing teams.
Career Opportunity
This is not a maintenance role — you’ll lead the creation of a brand-new HAL layer for a greenfield NOS. You will grow into a key leadership position as our engineering organization scales from dozens to hundreds of engineers.
