About The Position

We are seeking a Senior Android Software Engineer to design, build, and maintain high-quality Android applications that are an integral part of our medical device ecosystem. In this role, you will work at the intersection of mobile software, connected medical devices, and patient care. You will collaborate closely with embedded software, cloud, systems engineering, cybersecurity, quality, regulatory, product, and clinical teams to develop reliable software that meets both user needs and the rigorous quality expectations of a regulated medical device environment. The ideal candidate is an experienced Android engineer who combines strong software engineering fundamentals with a disciplined approach to architecture, testing, reliability, and documentation. You should be comfortable owning technically complex features from requirements and design through implementation, verification, release, and post-market support.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical discipline, or equivalent professional experience.
7+ years of professional software development experience, including significant experience developing production Android applications.
Advanced proficiency with Kotlin and the Android SDK.
Strong understanding of modern Android architecture and development practices, including Android Jetpack libraries, Jetpack Compose, Kotlin Coroutines and Flow, dependency injection, and lifecycle-aware application design.
Strong knowledge of software architecture, object-oriented design, concurrency, asynchronous programming, and API design.
Experience designing applications that communicate with external hardware, peripherals, or connected devices.
Experience developing automated unit and integration tests and designing software for testability.
Experience diagnosing complex software issues using logs, debugging tools, telemetry, and systematic root-cause analysis.
Strong understanding of Git-based development workflows, code review, CI/CD, and modern software engineering practices.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills and the ability to collaborate effectively across engineering and non-engineering disciplines.
