About the role
At CoMind, we are developing a non-invasive neuromonitoring technology that will result in a new era of clinical brain monitoring. In joining us, you will be helping to create cutting-edge technologies that will improve how we diagnose and treat brain disorders, ultimately improving and saving the lives of patients across the world.
The Role: The Software team at CoMind spans the full stack of a regulated medical device company — from embedded and real-time systems through application software, ML inference, GUI, DevOps, and test engineering. It is a team that builds across every layer, working to medical device software standards and shipping software that has to perform reliably in clinical environments. As a Staff Software Engineer, you will be a technical authority within the Software team, owning complex technical problems in embedded and real-time C++ development. You will work across hardware abstraction, real-time data acquisition, and system integration, bringing the depth of experience needed to architect and deliver software that performs reliably in a regulated, safety-critical context. At CoMind, all team members work at least 4 days per week from our new Kings Cross office, plus a flexible work-from-home day.
Responsibilities: Design, implement, and maintain high-performance embedded and real-time software components in C++, including hardware abstraction layers, device drivers, and data acquisition pipelines. Define and drive technical strategy, proactively identifying and mitigating cross-team dependencies and technical debt while setting the long-term vision for embedded architecture. Act as a technical bridge, synthesising and communicating complex architectural decisions to non-technical stakeholders (including Product, Clinical, and Regulatory teams) to ensure alignment on project goals. Mentor and grow engineers, fostering a culture of technical excellence, code quality, and professional development within the broader software team. Ensure software quality through code review, unit and integration testing, and strict adherence to CoMind’s software development lifecycle under IEC 62304. Collaborate with electronics and FPGA teams on hardware-software interfaces, supporting hardware bring-up, system integration, and complex debug. Contribute to risk management and design documentation activities, including software hazard analysis and traceability in line with ISO 14971 and CoMind’s QMS. Participate in design reviews, sprint planning, and cross-functional technical forums, contributing to a high-performance engineering culture. AI is fundamental to our culture — it's not just a tool, but a core part of
