In this role, you will own the software architecture that powers our device-from embedded Linux to the cloud. Your architectural decisions will keep the platform safe, maintainable, and extensible as our product evolves. You will be raising engineering standards and architecture quality, serving as the final technical authority for our regulated medical product., System Architecture & Technical Strategy * Own the Platform Architecture: Serve as the final technical authority for the end-to-end software stack, spanning embedded firmware, in-field Linux devices, cloud data pipelines (AWS/GCP), and the clinician-facing web application. * Product-Ready Foundation: Design clear and flexible interfaces such that our platform can evolve with our product roadmap without major refactors. * Data Path Integrity: Design and maintain a HIPAA-compliant, production-grade data platform that ensures data confidentiality, integrity, and availability from the sensor to the cloud. Execution & Quality Leadership * Hands-on Engineering: This is a player-coach role. You will write code, review complex PRs, debug hardware-software integration issues in the lab, and configure CI/CD pipelines. You lead by doing, setting the standard for code quality and testing. You know what "good" looks like. * Technical Mentorship: Mentor a growing team of senior and staff engineers, fostering a culture of technical excellence, rigorous review, and psychological safety. * Drive Quality & Compliance: Lead the engineering team's adherence to applicable medical device standards (e.g. IEC 62304, ISO 14971) and regulations. You are the gatekeeper ensuring that design outputs (code) meet design inputs (requirements) and that our "move fast" culture never compromises patient safety and critical product functions. Scale strong engineering practices across the team, including design reviews, code review quality, test strategy and technical documentation Cross-Functional Collaboration * Cross-functional execution: Partner with Product, Clinical and Regulatory stakeholders to translate product requirements, clinical performance goals and regulatory inputs into concrete, actionable technical plans, engineering specifications and development timelines. Ensure that our software architecture, implementation and documentation support our clinical study needs and regulatory plans (e.g. 510(k) and De Novo). ## Related Videos - [Docker network without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1418-docker-network-without-docker) - [From Bedside Beeps to Interoperable Bytes – Getting your medical devices ready to talk the IEEE 11073 language](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/771-from-bedside-beeps-to-interoperable-bytes-getting-your-medical-devices-ready-to-talk-the-ieee-11073-language) - [Docker Compose: Rediscovered](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1978-docker-compose-rediscovered) - [Docker exec without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1094-docker-exec-without-docker) - [Docker build without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100114-docker-build-without-docker) - [ZEISS & Microsoft - Building the Next Generation Medical Ecosystem in the Cloud](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/424-zeiss-microsoft-building-the-next-generation-medical-ecosystem-in-the-cloud) ## Related Articles - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [What’s the Difference between a Junior, Mid, and Senior Developer?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/238-what-s-the-difference-between-a-junior-mid-and-senior-developer) - [The Best Software Developer Blogs to Read](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/156-the-best-software-developer-blogs-to-read) - [Résumé-Driven Development: How IT trends affect the job market for software developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/59-resume-driven-development-how-it-trends-affect-the-job-market-for-software-developers) - [Why Upskilling And Reskilling is Important For Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/428-why-upskilling-and-reskilling-is-important-for-developers)
