Visby Medical is looking to solve the business and technical problem of ensuring their single-use PCR platform for infectious disease diagnosis is reliable, scalable, and performs effectively across devices and healthcare systems. The Lead Software Engineer will be crucial in diagnosing and resolving complex technical issues, ensuring system cohesion, and guiding the software team to meet these goals.
Requirements
- Flutter/Dart for mobile development (iOS/Android).
- Kotlin or Java backend development.
- Cloud platforms (GCP preferred).
- Infrastructure-as-code (Terraform/Terragrunt).
- Kubernetes and containerized deployments.
- CI/CD pipelines and release engineering.
- Proven experience ensuring mobile application performance and compatibility across diverse iOS and Android devices, including expertise in handling camera hardware/software differences, caching strategies, and OS-level changes.
Responsibilities
- Serve as the go-to engineer for diagnosing and solving cross-cutting technical issues (e.g., Terraform/Terragrunt deployment failures, concurrency bugs, device/app compatibility, caching, CI/CD bottlenecks).
- Ensure backend and infrastructure meet reliability, scalability, and security needs, working in partnership with the backend/infra engineer. Step in when deep debugging or architectural decisions are required.
- Ensure frontend meets performance and compatibility requirements across a wide range of iOS and Android devices, working in partnership with the frontend engineer. Step in when issues arise with device hardware differences (e.g., cameras), caching, or OS-level changes.
- Guide the integration of on-device ML algorithms (e.g., TensorFlow Lite, CoreML, PyTorch) developed by our data science team, ensuring they are efficiently packaged, deployed, and monitored in production apps.
- Collaborate with QA to build robust testing strategies that capture integration issues across frontend, backend, and device ecosystems.
- Collaborate with the Director of Software on system design and technical strategy, ensuring that frontend, backend, and infra components fit together cleanly.
- Provide guidance and oversight so features are implemented in a way that is scalable, testable, and maintainable.
Other
- 7+ years of experience in software engineering, with significant full-stack exposure.
- Proven track record of diagnosing and fixing complex system issues across frontend, backend, and infrastructure.
- Exposure to ML/AI integration, with an understanding of how to package, deploy, and monitor models as part of a production software system.
- Experience working in or adjacent to regulated industries (healthcare, medical devices, fintech) a plus.
- Full COVID Vaccination Required - Reasonable accommodations for medical or religious reasons considered.
