Job Description

Leading the future in luxury electric and mobility
At Lucid, we set out to introduce the most captivating, luxury electric vehicles that elevate the human experience and transcend the perceived limitations of space, performance, and intelligence. Vehicles that are intuitive, liberating, and designed for the future of mobility.
 
We plan to lead in this new era of luxury electric by returning to the fundamentals of great design – where every decision we make is in service of the individual and environment. Because when you are no longer bound by convention, you are free to define your own experience.
 
Come work alongside some of the most accomplished minds in the industry. Beyond providing competitive salaries, we’re providing a community for innovators who want to make an immediate and significant impact. If you are driven to create a better, more sustainable future, then this is the right place for you.

As the Manager of the Cloud Backend Platform, you will lead a team responsible for building the cloud services that power Lucid’s next-generation electric vehicles. Lucid vehicles generate massive volumes of onboard data every day. Your team will design the distributed systems and software platforms that securely process, analyze, and utilize this data to enhance vehicle safety, support collision avoidance, improve connectivity with external devices and cloud services, and optimize overall vehicle performance.

In this leadership role, you will leverage your expertise in computer science fundamentals, distributed systems, microservices architecture, and cloud technologies. You will guide the design, development, deployment, and evolution of backend services and platforms using technologies such as Golang, C/C++, Python, DockerKubernetes, TCP/UDP, Kafka/MQTT, and REST APIs.

· Apply deep knowledge of data structures, algorithms, and system design to drive technical excellence.

· Conduct and lead design reviews and code reviews to maintain high engineering standards.

· Plan, manage, and deliver complex cloud software projects from inception to deployment.
