Principal Software Engineer, Medical Devices

This is a fully remote position, open to applicants in United States.

📋 Description

• Oversee the Platform Architecture: Act as the ultimate technical authority for the complete software stack, which includes embedded firmware, in-field Linux devices, cloud data pipelines (AWS/GCP), and the clinician-facing web application.

• Foundation for Product Readiness: Create clear and adaptable interfaces to ensure our platform can grow alongside our product roadmap without necessitating significant refactoring.

• Ensure Data Path Integrity: Design and manage a HIPAA-compliant, production-ready data platform that guarantees data confidentiality, integrity, and availability from the sensor to the cloud.

• Engaged Engineering Role: This position involves both leadership and hands-on contributions. You will write code, review complex pull requests, troubleshoot hardware-software integration challenges in the lab, and set up CI/CD pipelines. You exemplify excellence in code quality and testing, clearly understanding what constitutes "good" work.

• Provide Technical Mentorship: Guide a developing team of senior and staff engineers, promoting a culture of technical excellence, thorough review processes, and psychological safety.

• Ensure Quality & Compliance: Oversee the engineering team’s compliance with relevant medical device standards (e.g., IEC 62304, ISO 14971) and regulations. You will act as the gatekeeper to ensure that design outputs (code) align with design inputs (requirements), maintaining a “move fast” culture while safeguarding patient safety and critical product functionalities. Promote robust engineering practices across the team, including design reviews, code review quality, testing strategy, and technical documentation.

• Facilitate Cross-functional Execution: Collaborate with Product, Clinical, and Regulatory stakeholders to convert product requirements, clinical performance objectives, and regulatory inputs into concrete, actionable technical plans, engineering specifications, and development timelines. Ensure that our software architecture, implementation, and documentation align with our clinical study needs and regulatory strategies (e.g., 510(k) and De Novo).

⛳️ Requirements

• Over 10 years of software engineering experience, including at least 4 years as a Technical Lead or Architect for intricate, distributed, and cloud-centric systems.

• Experience in Medical Devices: Demonstrated success in delivering regulated software (IEC 62304 Class B/C) throughout the entire product lifecycle.

• Mastery of Full-Stack Technologies: Expertise in contemporary systems languages (Rust, C++, or Go) and Python. Profound knowledge of cloud infrastructure (AWS/GCP), Infrastructure as Code (Terraform), containerization (Docker/Kubernetes), and observability (Cloudwatch/Datadog).

🏝️ Benefits

• Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage for employees and their dependents, with significant employer premium contributions.

• Retirement savings plan with company matching.

• Paid parental leave.

• Inclusive family-building benefits.
