Lead Software Engineer w/Swift/MERN Stack

Job Title: Lead SWIFT/MERN Stack Software Engineer
Job ID:  85663
Location: San Diego, California – Onsite/Some Hybrid


Overview:
We are partnering with our client to locate a Lead SWIFT/MERN Stack Software Engineer. In this full-time, direct hire, onsite (with some hybrid) permanent position for our extremely well-funded startup, this role will lead all software engineering.


What you will be doing:
This role is hands-on and high impact. You will define architecture, write production code, and take clear ownership of software decisions across the company. Initially this role will be a senior individual contributor role with technical leadership responsibilities, performing hands-on coding for native iOS in Swift with RESTful web services interfaces. The backend is GCP/MongoDB. Medical device experience is required. This is not a traditional “people management” role, but you will matrix lead and mentor a firmware engineer and act as the technical authority for software. You will manage the group as it grows. You will work with ambiguity. You will make decisions without a checklist. You will be expected to figure things out and bring structure and relevant experience with you. But most of all, you will have fun and be part of a team making a difference for human health.

• Own the architecture and technical direction for Siro’s web and mobile software
• Design, build, and maintain web interfaces (GCP) and supporting services
• Design, build, and maintain native iOS applications in Swift
• Act as the primary owner for cross-functional software decisions
• Lead integration between software, firmware, and hardware systems
• Mentor the firmware engineering function as it relates to integration (this is NOT a firmware development or hardware engineering position), but experience interfacing with firmware engineering is a huge plus.
• Establish and evolve software development standards and best practices and CI/CD pipelines
• Review code and ensure quality, security, and maintainability

• Solid experience developing web interfaces to a medical device
• Medical device, ISO 13485/62304 standards experience
• Significant hands-on native iOS development experience using Swift
• MERN stack (Mongo, Express/Nest, React. Node development experience)
• Experience owning software architecture end to end
• Experience working across web, mobile, and embedded or firmware-adjacent systems
• Huge pluses; GCP (AWS ok), Kubernetes, CI/CD pipeline

• The onsite office is very relaxed, shorts/flip flops, with culture fit being a huge factor in hiring. People assimilate and work well together. There will be some hybrid opportunity once acclimated.
