Staff Software Engineer

About the role

We are seeking a Staff Software Engineer to lead the development of clinician and patient-facing Android applications for our neural technology platform. These applications support the configuration, monitoring, and interaction with an implanted brain-computer interface and a powered hand exoskeleton, directly impacting treatment decisions and patient safety.

Responsibilities

• Own the architecture and implementation of the clinician application, including device configurations, patient progress monitoring, and real-time session management.
• Design and build real-time visualization of streaming data, handling high-frequency data and near-real-time device communication.
• Integrate both applications with our cloud platform and a device-management backend.
• Develop within a regulated software development lifecycle, adhering to IEC 62304 process requirements and FDA human-factors/usability expectations.
• Ensure the applications support regulatory audit trails and clinical-trial documentation.
• Partner with our medical teams to deeply understand clinician and patient needs, and translate this insight into application design decisions.
• Direct external contributors on non-core modules, ensuring compliance, accessibility, and integration quality.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or related field, or equivalent practical experience.
• 7+ years of software engineering experience, with substantial time in healthcare or FDA-regulated medical-device software.
• Production experience shipping Android applications in Kotlin (native) or React Native, delivering features end to end.
• Experience developing software under IEC 62304 (or an equivalent risk-based lifecycle) for Class B or higher software, including lifecycle documentation supporting regulatory submissions.
• Experience building responsive mobile interfaces over high-frequency or time-series data; comfortable with streaming and device connectivity.
• Experience designing app features against backend/cloud APIs; able to consume and document API contracts.
• Track record translating clinician or patient feedback into design; effective with non-technical stakeholders.
