Director of Software

BioTalent Ltd

Director of Software (San Diego, CA - On-site)

An innovative medical device company at a growth inflection point - with a product already in clinical studies - is seeking a Director of Software to lead and scale their software organization. This is a builder's leadership role reporting to the VP of R&D, combining hands-on technical depth with people leadership as the team grows from lean and high-performing into full commercial scale.

What you'll own:

  • Build and scale the software team - hiring, mentoring, and establishing a culture where engineers do their best work
  • Drive engineering effectiveness - coding standards, workflows, and AI-enabled acceleration
  • Translate executive vision into actionable technical strategy and roadmaps
  • Stay technically hands-on - prototype, review, and build alongside the team
  • Represent software cross-functionally with hardware, data science, regulatory, and executive stakeholders
  • Own team budget, resource allocation, and delivery timelines

What we're looking for:

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or related field
  • 10-15+ years in software development, including 5+ years managing technical teams
  • Experience shipping mobile apps and cloud backends end-to- end, ideally for a connected-device fleet
  • Regulated industry experience - medical device or other safety-critical software strongly preferred
  • Fluency in modern DevOps, CI/CD, and automation testing
  • Comfort applying AI tools safely and effectively within a regulated environment

Must be local to or willing to relocate immediately to San Diego, CA - this is an on-site role.
