JOB DESCRIPTION
Roles and Responsibilities:
In this role, you will:
* Design, code, unit-test and deliver features hands-on as an individual contributor and maintain/improve existing features using the latest software development technologies and infrastructure. * Alongside individual contributions, provide module-level technical leadership; be a role model and mentor engineers on design best practices, coding, debugging and a customer-first mindset. * Perform and lead system-level software integration, debugging, crash-dump analysis and defect triage across application, OS and firmware layers to drive root-cause resolution. * Architect and develop mission-critical Modern C++ components and microservices applying SOLID principles and design patterns (e.g., Factory, Observer). * Own the end-to-end implementation of assigned components or modules, contributing a significant share of production code and actively participate in peer design / code reviews. * Identify the scope of work, provide initial estimates, and justify them with facts. * Work in an agile/scrum development model on cutting-edge technologies, delivering integrated software products in collaboration with different teams, with a high do/say ratio and uncompromised quality. * Collaborate with Principal Engineers, cross-functional architects, Product Mgmt, Clinical and product marketing teams to understand user needs, product vision and evolving requirements; translate them into software requirements, architectural runway features and proof-of-concept solutions. * Drive design reviews, seek and provide feedback on design and development, define interfaces between code modules, and apply existing technology to designs. * Write code that meets coding and quality standards, and maintain code quality through best practices, unit testing and code quality automation. * Collaborate with verification teams to ensure right testing of developed features. * Make informed technology choices after due diligence and impact assessment. * Understand the whole product, its modules and their interrelationships while being an expert in the assigned component or module. * Assess and optimize application performance and scalability through design and best coding practices.
Qualifications/Requirements:
* Bachelor’s Degree in a STEM major (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math). * Minimum of 10 years of experience in object-oriented design and programming in a production software environment using Agile development methodologies. * Hands-on experience in Linux-based products with Modern C++ (C++ 14/17), C and Embedded C/C++, including STL, POSIX threads and IPC. * Experience with the Linux kernel and distributions (e.g., Yocto, Ubuntu) and real-time operating systems (e.g., FreeRTOS). * Strong understanding of design patterns, algorithms and data structures. * Strong debugging and critical thinking skills working with existing, complex code bases. * Proficiency with debugging and quality tools such as GDB, Valgrind, kdump, Coverity and GTest, and build/version-control tools such as GCC/G++, CMake and Git. * Scripting and automation experience using Python, Perl and Shell, including Linux build and deployment automation. * Proven track record as a hands-on individual contributor delivering production-quality code, along with experience as a technical leader for end-to-end systems and experiences.
Desired Characteristics:
* Understanding of medical device/medical software development. * Knowledge of microcontrollers and microprocessors (e.g., ARM), bare-metal firmware and hardware interfaces (SPI, I2C, UART). * Exposure to healthcare and device communication protocols (e.g., HL7, REST / MQTT). * Experience with AI-enabled, spec-driven development – using AI coding assistants (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Kiro) to turn structured requirements and design specifications into code, unit tests and documentation, with human review and traceability appropriate for regulated software. * Self-starter, motivated and able to work with minimal supervision. * Ability to work with global cross-functional teams, flexible to accommodate time zones as required. * Proven ability to quickly ramp up on complex and unfamiliar code, and to pick up new languages/frameworks as needed. * Proven knowledge of the software development lifecycle, with experience contributing to and leading projects across it – concept creation, new product development, delivery, maintenance and iteration of existing products. * Proactive in identifying and removing project obstacles or barriers on behalf of the team.
