About the role
At Sonatus, we’re driving the transformation to AI-enabled software-defined vehicles. Traditional automotive software methods can’t keep pace with consumer expectations shaped by the mobile industry—where features evolve rapidly, update seamlessly, and improve continuously. That’s why leading OEMs trust Sonatus to accelerate this shift. Our technology is already in production across more than 9 million vehicles on the road today and rapidly expanding. Headquartered in Sunnyvale, CA, with 250+ employees worldwide, Sonatus combines the agility of a fast-growing company with the scale and impact of an established partner. Backed by strong funding and proven by global deployment, we’re solving some of the most interesting and complex challenges in the industry. Join us and help redefine what’s possible as we shape the future of mobility. We are seeking a highly technical, execution-focused Cloud Backend Engineering Manager to serve as the technical lead for our core cloud engineering pod. In this role, you will drive technical excellence through active, hands-on implementation and maintain deep module-level ownership of core system components. You will participate in the technical roadmap definition, own the end-to-end execution of major platform components, and lead a talented team designing the server-side backend architectures that power next-generation software-defined vehicle platforms. You will be responsible for building the scalable, high-throughput cloud networks that interface directly with physical edge hardware, processing complex vehicle datasets from distributed fleets globally.
