Medtronic

At Medtronic, we value what makes you unique. Be part of a company that thinks differently to solve problems, make progress, and deliver meaningful innovations.

Our Purpose 

At Medtronic Patient Care Systems (PCS), we power the digital heartbeat behind life-saving cardiac therapies. We build the connected ecosystem that enables clinicians to monitor, manage, and protect millions of patients living with implantable cardiac devices around the world.

From secure device connectivity and real-time data platforms to intelligent clinical tools and patient-facing experiences, PCS transforms complex cardiac data into clarity — helping physicians make faster decisions, improving outcomes, and giving patients greater confidence in their care.

Every line of code we write supports someone’s parent, spouse, child, or friend. Our work ensures that life-saving therapies are not only delivered safely and reliably, but continuously improved through innovation, insight, and global scale.

If you want to build technology that truly matters — where uptime means peace of mind and innovation means more birthdays — join us. Together, we are shaping the future of connected cardiac care and changing lives every single day

Come for a job, stay for a career!

A Day in The Life Of:

You will build a native application that lives at the intersection of hardware, health data, and the human experience. The app communicates directly with an implanted cardiac device over a proprietary BLE protocol, ingests raw physiological data from that device, runs AI-powered analytics on-device, and keeps every byte of sensitive health data encrypted at rest and in transit. This is not a typical app — it has to work when connectivity is degraded, when the user is asleep, and when the stakes are genuinely high. Typical activities include:

• Lead the design and development of advanced mobile features for iOS and Android
• Make technical decisions that shape mobile architecture, scalability, and performance
• Review code and mentor junior engineers to raise engineering quality
• Partner with product, design, backend, Verification Engineering, and leadership to align on solutions
• Troubleshoot complex issues and guide root-cause analysis
• Improve engineering processes, testing practices, and release reliability
• Drive delivery of impactful features that support business and user outcomes
• Help shape technical direction for the mobile platform

What makes this role interesting:

The device you are talking to is inside a person. That constraint makes every engineering decision — from reconnection backoff logic to storage encryption strategy — carry a weight that you don't find on most teams. You will ship code that actually matters to real people, and you will do it while working across two mature native platforms with a shared purpose.

What you will work on:

• BLE & device session management: discovery, pairing, reconnection logic, and the BluSync command-response pipeline that talks to the implant
• Encrypted local storage: SQLCipher-backed persistence for raw sensor data, certificates, and derived metrics; key material guarded by Keychain (iOS) or Keystore (Android)
• On-device analytics: a CoreML (iOS) / TFLite (Android) inference runtime for health metrics such as sleep quality, HRV, and activity; bridging model outputs into a user-facing experience
• Native UI: SwiftUI (iOS) and Jetpack Compose (Android) across a shared design system; building health-grade UI components that surface complex physiological data accessibly
• Security posture: jailbreak / root detection, silent push challenge-response, OIDC token lifecycle management, and audit event emission
• Platform integrations: HealthKit / Health Connect export, iCloud / Google Backup adapters, StoreKit 2 / Play Billing entitlement flows
• Connectivity health monitoring: instrumentation of BLE session quality metrics, reconnection rates, sync success/failure rates, and end-to-end device-app communication health; surfaces degraded connectivity signals before they affect the member experience, with particular importance given the cardiac-implant context
• Firmware team interface: coordinating directly with the firmware engineering team to define and validate the BluSync command-response protocol, manage firmware-app compatibility across paired releases, and reproduce defects that span the device-mobile boundary
• AI algorithm team interface: partnering with the AI/algorithm research team to integrate updated inference models (CoreML / TFLite) into the on-device runtime, validating model input/output contracts, and translating research prototypes into production inference pipelines
• Release pipeline ownership: owning the mobile release chain end to end: build configuration, code signing, Firebase distribution for QA validation, and App Store / Play Store submission; shipment is part of the feature lifecycle, not a handoff
• AI-assisted development: actively using AI tools to accelerate implementation, code review, and debugging; holding AI-generated contributions to the same quality and safety bar as hand-authored code

Key Skills & Experience

• Deep experience building and maintaining production mobile applications
• Strong technical leadership and mentoring capability
• Ability to own complex problems from design through delivery
• Experience working across teams in fast-paced, collaborative environments
• Strong judgment in architecture, code quality, testing, and performance optimization
• Track record of shipping impactful features and driving results

Must Have: Minimum Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree (Level 8 NFQ) in Computer Engineering, Software Engineering, Computer Science or related technical discipline with a minimum of 4 years of relevant experience. 
• Hands-on engineering experience delivering production-ready code and contributing to application architecture and design
• Strong proficiency in one or more modern programming languages/technologies such as Swift, Swift UI, Jetpack Compose, Kotlin, Java, C#, .NET, Github, Github copilot, Visual Studio Code, Android Studio, Xcode.
• Expertise in iOS or Android Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE)
• Demonstrated experience leading code reviews and technical discussions
• Strong ability to collaborate with cross-functional teams and communicate technical concepts clearly
• Proven track record of ownership and delivering high-impact features
• Strong problem-solving skills and ability to work independently
• Mobile architecture patterns and design best practices
• CI/CD pipelines for mobile applications
• Automated testing frameworks
• Excitement, passion, and curiosity about the mission of connecting health data and improving patient outcomes

While not required, familiarity with the following tools and domains will give you a strong edge:

• SQL and relational or non-relational databases
• API design and integration patterns
• Observability, crash analytics, and performance monitoring tools
• Cross-platform frameworks such as Flutter or React Native
• Experience in regulated or healthcare environments
• SonarQube, JFrog, Figma, Pendo, Dynatrace
• Objective-C, .NET, JavaScript, TypeScript, Python
