About The Position

iota Biosciences, a wholly owned subsidiary of Astellas Pharma US, is advancing a new class of bioelectronic medicines through the development of fully implantable Class III medical devices. Our proprietary technologies open therapeutic and diagnostic possibilities not previously accessible to clinicians.

Together with Astellas, we are committed to patient-centric design, scientific and engineering excellence, and cross-functional teamwork. These principles guide us in bringing transformative, first-of-its-kind technologies into the clinic and closer to patients.
Build software that helps people living with paralysis regain movement.
We’re a fast-growing startup bringing brain-computer interface (BCI) technology from research into real clinical use, and we’re looking for a Senior Product Engineer to help lead that shift.
You’ll own the development of clinician- and patient-facing applications, turning complex BCI workflows into safe, intuitive software experiences. As the technical anchor for these products, you’ll drive architecture and hands-on execution across user interfaces, real-time data visualization, and internal R&D tools.
You’ll work closely with clinical users, design, and engineering in a high-ownership, fast-moving environment where your decisions directly impact patient safety, therapy effectiveness, and clinical trial success.

Requirements

• Full-stack development: Strong experience with React, TypeScript, Node.js, and Python; able to implement end-to-end features from database to UI.
• Real-time data visualization: Experience building interactive dashboards or visualization systems for time-series or complex data (D3.js, Chart.js, or equivalent); comfortable with high-frequency data streams.
• Clinical or healthcare domain knowledge: Familiarity with clinical workflows, regulatory constraints on UX, EHR integration (HL7 FHIR), and healthcare compliance standards (HIPAA, accessibility requirements).
• API integration & backend collaboration: Able to design frontend features that integrate cleanly with backend APIs; experience consuming and documenting API contracts.
• User-centered design thinking: Track record of translating user/clinician feedback into software design; comfort working directly with non-technical stakeholders to understand needs.

Nice To Haves

• FDA-regulated medical device software experience; understanding of IEC 62304, regulatory documentation, and clinical trial data management systems.
• BioT platform experience or familiarity with medical-grade device management platforms.
• Mobile development (React Native) for patient-facing applications.
• Human factors or usability engineering awareness; experience with FDA guidance on medical device UX.
• Accessibility compliance expertise (WCAG 2.1, medical device accessibility standards).

Responsibilities

• Design and implement clinician portals for BCI model configuration, patient progress monitoring, and real-time training session management; build patient-facing applications for therapy feedback, device monitoring, home rehabilitation guidance, and safety alerts.
• Define and own the architecture for real-time visualization systems streaming neural data and machine-learning predictions during clinical sessions; build internal R&D tools for clinicians and scientists to review datasets, analyze model performance, and generate reports supporting regulatory documentation.
• Ensure clinical applications comply with FDA guidance on human factors and usability engineering; document user needs analysis, interface design decisions, and validation testing for audit readiness.
• Integrate clinical applications with cloud platform and similar medical-grade systems (e.g. BioT); work with HL7 FHIR medical integrations and ensure applications support regulatory audit trails and clinical trial documentation.
• Lead contractors working on non-core modules through clear scoping, technical direction, and review, while staying hands-on as the primary developer building and owning core clinical application experiences.
