Software Engineer (Generalist)

Cardiovascular disease is the #1 cause of morbidity and mortality in the world. Much of this could be prevented with better access to specialist care. Take stroke as an example: any delay in treatment can lead to permanent disability or death. However, due to a lack of specialist surgeons, the most effective intervention can only be performed in 2% of US hospitals. For patients who present to one of the 98% of hospitals that do not offer the surgery, treatment is either significantly delayed or not offered at all because timely transfer is not feasible.

Our mission is to bring state-of-the-art vascular intervention to anyone, anytime, regardless of their location. Our team of medical clinicians, roboticists, and machine learning experts are working to bridge this gap by building the world’s first remotely-operated, semi-autonomous endovascular surgical robot.

We’ve already done what nobody else could—using our system, doctors from around the world were able to remotely perform this procedure from as far as 8000 miles away. We now need your help to bring this technology out of the laboratory and into hospitals everywhere.

We're looking for a strong generalist software engineer to help us ship the next version of our surgical robot. You'll work across our software stack — robot control, system-level orchestration, user-facing tools — and pick up whatever needs picking up. This role suits someone who has more interest in building a working product than in specializing in one layer of the stack.

Build and improve core robot control software in C++

Own system-level orchestration code in Python that ties our subsystems together

Improve our simulation and test infrastructure

Move across the stack as needed — whatever is currently the bottleneck
