Software Engineering Manager

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.This is the leadership role for the product software stack.

You will manage and develop a team of software engineers working across embedded C++, GUI, and firmware, set priorities and development plans, drive delivery from prototype to production release, and own the software architecture and technical direction. It is a people-first role with sustained hands-on technical involvement: you will lead design and code reviews and hold the bar for engineering quality across the team's output.At CoMind, all team members work at least 4 days per week in the office, plus a flexible work-from-home day. This role is based in our London (Kings Cross) office.Responsibilities: Manage and mentor a team of software engineers working across embedded C++/CUDA, GUI, and embedded linux, setting priorities, individual development plans, conducting performance reviews, and maintaining a high standard of engineering practiceOwn the technical roadmap for the product software stack, from the C++/CUDA host application and real-time processing pipeline, aligning with product and system
