Role Summary

Oxit is looking for a visionary and pragmatic Head of Software to lead the evolution of its software consulting and delivery practice. This person will guide the end-to-end development of scalable, secure, cloud-native IoT platforms focused on device-to-cloud connectivity, especially using LoRaWAN, AWS, and adjacent ecosystems.

This role blends technical leadership, strategic architectural decision-making, and client-facing execution, with a mandate to grow an elite engineering team and build reusable solutions that accelerate time to value for Oxit and its customers.

Key Objectives

· • Deliver consistently high-quality software consulting services aligned with Oxit's broader IoT and device connectivity offerings.

· • Lead cross-functional teams to design and build software solutions spanning from edge devices to scalable cloud infrastructures.

· • Establish best practices for coding, deployment, and architecture across all project teams.

· • Drive reuse, standardization, and technical excellence across client-facing and internal platforms.

· • Build long-term client partnerships through impactful software architecture and delivery leadership.

Technical & Strategic Leadership

* Own Oxit's cloud-native software architecture strategy across AWS (primary), Azure, and GCP.

* Guide engineering teams in developing scalable, reusable platforms - especially in LoRaWAN-connected and IoT-centric environments.

* Design reference architecture and reusable components that support multiple customer projects while meeting security, performance, and cost objectives.

* Contribute to the company's R&D direction and roadmap, collaborating across product and delivery teams.

Project Delivery & Client Engagement

* Oversee full lifecycle software project execution: planning, architecture, development, testing, deployment, and support.

* Engage with clients to understand their needs, communicate architectural strategies, and align solutions with technical and business goals.

* Ensure quality delivery on time and within budget, incorporating DevOps, CI/CD, and agile project methodologies.

Cloud Optimization & Infrastructure

* Optimize the use of AWS services, especially around serverless design, scalable data pipelines, and secure integrations.

* Maintain hands-on involvement or oversight of the software stack: front-end (React, Vue), back-end (Node.js, Python, Java), and cloud services (IoT Core, Lambda, API Gateway, DynamoDB).

* Build and maintain cost-aware, high-performance environments using Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, CDK, etc.).

Team Development & Technical Culture

* Lead and mentor engineers, instilling a strong engineering culture based on quality, ownership, and continuous improvement.

* Support career development and professional certification (especially AWS-related).

* Encourage collaboration and knowledge sharing across remote, global teams.

What Success Looks Like

* Repeatable, cloud-optimized architectures deployed across multiple projects.

* A high-functioning, technically proficient, and engaged engineering team.

* Satisfied clients with scalable, maintainable software solutions.

* Efficient R&D investment aligned to customer needs and internal product reuse.

* Tangible contributions to platform growth, e.g., Oxit Portal under MRD/TRD guidance.

Qualifications & Competencies - Required

* 10+ years of professional experience in full-stack software development with deep architecture responsibilities.

* Proven leadership of software teams building IoT and cloud-connected products, ideally with device-level to cloud-level exposure.

* Expert-level knowledge of at least one major cloud platform (preferably AWS) with certification(s) such as: - AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Professional - Google Cloud Professional Cloud Architect - Microsoft Azure Solutions Architect Expert

* Familiarity with key protocols and technologies: LoRaWAN, MQTT, HTTP/REST, WebSockets, Node.js, Python, and React/Next.js.

* Experience in building and scaling multi-region, event-driven systems with secure API layers and infrastructure-as-code (Terraform/CDK).

Nice to Have

* Exposure to regulated industries (e.g. medtech, utilities) with strong security/compliance requirements.

* Familiarity with C/C++ development for edge devices in connected environments.

* Experience with digital twin design, OTA firmware management, or AI/ML inference at the edge.

* Implementation of AI/ML solutions in cloud environments (e.g., AWS SageMaker, Vertex AI).

* Experience guiding teams in mobile app development and deployment on iOS and Android platforms.

* Experience with microservices, Kubernetes, and GraphQL APIs.

Core Competencies

* Visionary leadership with a bias toward scalable, modern technology solutions.

* Strong communication and stakeholder engagement skills - internally and externally.

* Empathy and team-building acumen in a remote and fast-moving work environment.

* Ability to align technological depth with business practicality.
