Lead Software Engineer for semiconductor verification and tooling with responsibilities in core infrastructure, architecture, and technical leadership.
Requirements
- Senior software engineer with a track record of designing and maintaining complex systems
- Either you've led a small team and want to keep doing it, or you're a senior IC with the instincts to mentor and steer without formal reports
- Background or genuine interest in hardware, EDA , or embedded development
- Experience or interest in security . We build in a domain where it's not optional
- Comfortable thinking in terms of trade-offs and second-order effects, not just shipping the next feature
- At home in a Unix/Linux environment and in open-source workflows (public reviews, issue trackers, async collaboration)
Conditions
- A rare role where software architecture and hardware reality meet
- Direct, visible impact on an open-source project used in real semiconductor development
- Hybrid by default: work from the Prague office, remotely, or mix the two, whichever fits your life. We optimize for autonomy and deep focus
- In-person team meetups in Prague are held a few times a year for planning and architecture work
- 👋 Interested? We want to hear from you! Just submit your CV, a brief cover letter, and links to your work . After the initial screening, you'll be directly in touch with your future team.
Other
- We're Tropic Square , a Prague-based company designing open-source secure-element chips .
- We're looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our hybrid team and help drive a long-term, open-source project at the intersection of software and hardware in the semiconductor world. You'll own core infrastructure decisions, shape architecture, and grow into a technical leadership role.
- If you're excited by deep technical problems with real-world impact, this might be the role for you.
- Developing and expanding our automated flows and hardware modelling framework
- Building internal tooling and infrastructure that serves both the company and the wider open-source community
- Driving architectural decisions and the long-term technical direction of the codebase
- Exploring adjacent technical areas (verification, cybersecurity, EDA) as the work demands, with room to go deep where you're curious
- Collaborating with internal teams and external contributors in a public, technically demanding setting
- Mostly Python , Bash, C, and whatever else the job calls for
