About Our Client Company

Our San Diego-based client is a thriving, publicly traded HealthTech company using AI, advanced imaging, cloud software, and data science to improve how complex medical procedures are planned and delivered.

Their mission is straightforward: improve patient outcomes and lower the cost of care.

The engineering challenges sit at the intersection of software, medical devices, data science, cloud, and manufacturing. Very few companies solve all of these at once.

Position Overview

We're looking for a Principal Software Architect to shape the technology foundation behind patented, AI-powered patient-specific surgical solutions and next-generation device manufacturing systems.

Why This Role Is Different

This role requires both technical depth and customer empathy. You'll work across multiple teams, partnering closely with data scientists and hardware R&D engineers. Success means understanding how surgeons and clinicians actually work and translating that into the architecture behind systems that connect the digital and physical worlds.

The Challenges You'll Own

  • Architect the software ecosystem powering AI-driven surgical planning and patient-specific healthcare solutions
  • Lead the evolution of a modern microservices platform serving clinicians, engineers, manufacturing teams, and external customers
  • Design systems that connect medical imaging, AI models, cloud infrastructure, manufacturing workflows, and regulated medical devices
  • Create architectural patterns that enable rapid product…
