# Staff Software Engineer for telemedicine platform

- **Company:** ocumeda AG
- **Location:** München, Germany
- **Experience:** Expert
- **Contract:** Permanent contract
- **Skills:** Amazon Web Services, Software Engineering, TypeScript, Backend, Web Technologies, Front End Software Development
- **Published:** August 16, 2026
- **Apply:** https://www.adzuna.de/details/5842520958

## About the Role

* Several years of professional software engineering experience (roughly 7+), most of it on systems that reached real users
 * Deeply hands-on across the stack: strong in the frontend, at home in the backend, comfortable in the infrastructure and web technologies around it
 * A strong background in TypeScript, and well-formed opinions you can defend and revise
 * A clear product focus: you care about what ships, what runs, and what users experience
 * You speak fluent English (C1); German is a plus

... and as a nice to have:

 * Experience in a start-up or scale-up where speed and quality both mattered
 * Comfort taking ownership and shaping processes nobody has defined yet
 * A degree in a STEM field - equivalent practical experience counts more
 * Exposure to regulated software, medical devices or health data

## Description

This is an individual contributor role. No direct reports, real technical authority: you set direction on architecture and engineering practice, and you build in the same codebase as everyone else in the team. Staff/Senior here means deeper, not further from the code. Your job is to keep our systems fast to iterate, reliable in production, and ready for international expansion and scaling.

 * Own the architecture of our full-stack platform - frontend, backend, data, AWS - and evolve it under real product pressure instead of rewriting it
 * Own our testing strategy: where we invest in unit, integration and end-to-end coverage, what we deliberately do not test, and how tests stay fast enough that nobody skips them
 * Push our agentic coding practice forward: tooling, guardrails and testing discipline that make us faster without putting unverified code into a live product
 * Shape scope together with product: surface the cheap 80 % solution, and say clearly when something is not worth building
 * Build so that what ships is operable and auditable by design (e.g. ISO 27001, ISO 13485), without turning engineering into paperwork
 * Go wherever the problem is - a scaling bottleneck one week, a broken integration the next - you fix it properly
