- Implement and maintain security-by-design in line with ISO 27001, including IAM, encryption in transit and at rest, logging, monitoring, and access controls.
- Build and optimize data pipelines for near real-time and batch processing of vital signs and events.
- Own services end-to-end: architecture, implementation, testing, deployment, monitoring, and incident response.
- Contribute to and improve CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, and infrastructure-as-code setups.
- Collaborate closely with mobile, firmware, data science, and product teams to define technical requirements and interfaces.
- Work with our Quality & Regulatory teams to ensure proper documentation, change control, and compliance with medical device and security standards.
- Troubleshoot issues in production and continuously improve performance, resilience, and developer experience.

- Solid understanding of relational databases (e.g., PostgreSQL/MySQL) and familiarity with NoSQL datastores.
- Experience with containerization (Docker) and, ideally, orchestration (Kubernetes or ECS).
- Familiarity with information security, secure coding practices, and standards such as ISO 27001, GDPR and HIPAA.
- Comfortable with CI/CD tools and automated testing (unit, integration, and load testing).
- Strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and a proactive, ownership-driven mindset.
