This role ishands-on and architecture-driven: you will be responsible for building a scalable system thatprocesses real-time visual data, integrates with external devices, manages complex workflows, anddelivers a high-reliability experience.The Tech Lead will define architectures, write high-quality code, integrate with AI/ML modules, andguide engineering execution end-to-end. This role sits at the intersection of systems engineering,full-stack development, and intelligent automation.Key Responsibilities• Architect and build a production-grade platform involving real-time data processing,workflow automation, and visual state tracking.• Design and develop backend services, API layers, and front-end dashboards that interactwith external devices and system logic.• Write clean, maintainable, scalable code across the stack, and lead by example as ahands-on senior engineer.• Integrate with AI/ML output pipelines (vision models, inference logic, decision algorithms)in collaboration with AI teams.• Build robust logging, annotation, monitoring, and workflow interpretation systems.• Optimise performance, reliability, and fault tolerance for real-world deployment.• Manage sprint execution, code reviews, architectural decisions, and technicalprioritisation.• Work closely with product, AI, and operations teams to deliver a cohesive experience.• Drive rapid prototyping where required, and then harden prototypes into stable productionsystems.• Mentor engineers and help level up the engineering culture through standards and bestpractices.Qualifications• 10+ years of hands-on coding experience with a track record of shipping high-quality,scalable software systems.• Deep expertise in full-stack development, including backend architectures, distributedsystems, and cloud-native design.• Strong working knowledge of APIs, microservices, message queues, event-drivensystems, and modern frameworks.• Experience integrating or operationalising AI/ML outputs (vision or inference systems) isstrongly preferred.• Comfort working with real-time data, system state monitoring, and hardware–softwareinteraction layers.• Proven ability to break down complex problems into modular, testable, maintainablecomponents.• Strong project execution, architectural decision-making, and cross-functional collaborationskills.• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, orequivalent industry experience.• Experience in healthcare, diagnostics, or device-integrated systems is a plus but notrequired.Why This Role MattersThis role is for a seasoned builder who can take an idea from concept to reliable productiondeployment. You will shape the engineering foundation of an intelligent system used in real clinical workflows—software that must perform with precision and stability in the real world.
