We develop and deploy critical safety technology, including our wearable duress system and Real-Time Location System (RTLS) portfolio, delivered as a comprehensive service to enterprise healthcare systems across the United States. Join our tight-knit group of passionate builders, designers, and product thinkers who value curiosity, ownership, and a commitment to quality. We believe that the best products are built when talented individuals are given the autonomy to do their best while working in a supportive and collaborative environment.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the design, architecture, and implementation of critical, user-facing features and backend services.
• Take end-to-end ownership of projects, from initial ideation and technical design through to deployment and post-launch maintenance.
• Partner closely with Product Managers, Designers, and business stakeholders to shape the product roadmap and translate business requirements into robust, scalable technical solutions.
• Mentor and guide other engineers, fostering a culture of technical excellence, knowledge sharing, and constructive feedback through code reviews and design discussions.
• Drive technical strategy and architectural decisions, making pragmatic tradeoffs between long-term scalability and immediate business needs.
• Write clean, maintainable, and well-tested code, and set the standard for code quality across the team.
• Deconstruct ambiguous, complex problems into clear, actionable steps for the team.
• Identify and address performance bottlenecks, production issues, and sources of technical debt.
• Improve engineering standards, tooling, and processes to enhance team productivity and system reliability.
• Identify ways to leverage AI to increase software development velocity.

Required Qualifications

• 6+ years of professional software development experience, with a proven track record of shipping high-impact products on schedule.

• Can architect and deliver performant and resilient mobile applications from scratch.
• Understands source code in any modern language at a glance.
• Deep expertise in either iOS or Android, with experience developing for the other.
• A strong product mindset and the ability to think from a user's perspective. You care about the why as much as the how.
• Proven ability to work independently and drive projects forward with minimal supervision in a fast-paced environment.
• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to articulate complex technical concepts to diverse audiences.
• Experience mentoring engineers and leading technical projects.
• Experience working in a cross-functional environment and a proven ability to collaborate effectively with non-technical stakeholders.
• A pragmatic approach to problem-solving, with a knack for balancing technical purity with business velocity.
