Developing software is great, but developing software with a purpose is even better! As a Senior Software Engineer, you’ll work on a product that helps people with the most precious thing they have — their health. In collaborative teams of developers, designers, product owners, and QA experts, you’ll experience best-in-class software development practices daily and contribute to software that meets the highest expectations — we do not put our users' lives at risk!

Here’s what we’re looking for:

We’re looking for a Senior Mobile Engineer  who will have a significant impact on the software development process and moving the entire team forward. Your main contribution will be writing code while acting as a role model for the entire development team. You apply your experience in architectural and technical decision-making, ensuring  high code quality and contributing your technical knowledge as a foundation for strategic product decisions, identifying and driving improvements of the product development process and its infrastructure. You may act as an internal technical consultant for pre-sales, sales, and marketing activities, including hiring decisions.

You will primarily be working in a global set-up with teams in India, Austria, and Spain.

Your upcoming mission:

• Support our vision and push even further in the mobile sector to develop at scale and guide the development of our entire efforts on the Android platform

• Participate in developing universal link handling and associated backend services, using Node.js and modern industry standards.

• Work autonomously in an interdisciplinary team, collaborating with developers, designers, QA, and product owners

• Bring a fresh perspective and creative approach to the development of our Android products

Essential skills for this mission:

• 7+ years of experience building and maintaining mobile applications (iOS, Android, or both), with deep expertise in at least one platform and strong familiarity with the other

• Knowledge of Node.js, with experience building backend services for universal/deep link handling in mobile applications

• Proficient in app store management (Apple App Store and/or Google Play Console), including release processes, app configurations, and compliance

• Hands-on experience with CI/CD tools and pipelines for mobile app delivery

• Solid background in iterative development and maintaining live digital products

• Proven ability to design, implement, and maintain reliable, performant, and scalable solutions

• Degree in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent professional experience

• Passion for clean code, robust architectures, and (automated) testing as an integral part of development

• Strong focus on accessibility, performance, and systemic solutions

• Excellent communication skills in English, with the ability to give and receive feedback constructively and mentor others

Bonus Skills:

• Experience with medical, security, or privacy regulations.

• Knowledge of the diabetes industry or similar regulated health environments.

Here's what you can expect from us:

• We are always trying to stay on top of the game and use modern tools and approaches standardized across the industry. 

• Unit tests and continuous integration are an important and integral part of our development process. We know there is no excuse not to write tests and the only way to go fast is to go well

• Ambitious and passionate colleagues building meaningful products.

• An innovative, agile working environment that encourages collaboration, learning, and knowledge sharing across cross-functional teams.

• We welcome technical evangelists, so if you are interested in any thought leadership contributions (blogs, conferences) within the realm of the organization, we are happy to support you.

• Modern tech stacks: Our codebases are Kotlin- and Swift-first, using best-in-class patterns and tools (e.g., Dagger, Coroutines, SwiftUI, Combine), and always evolving.

• A strong commitment to code quality: unit testing, CI/CD, and continuous improvement are fundamental to how we work.

You will learn about the wide range of technologies we employ, from native mobile development to infrastructure-as-code in our cloud environment, gaining a rich understanding of the specific requirements of medical software, be it security, medical risk management, safe and resilient programming, or certifications and audits. 

You will have direct contact with our users, learning about their daily struggles living with diabetes, as well as customers and partners, understanding the unique needs and mechanics of healthcare systems worldwide.
