This is an on‑site position in Oxford with flexibility.

Major Responsibilities

• Architect scalable, reliable and secure end‑to‑end digital solutions that work effortlessly with our perfusion devices, covering both front‑end and back‑end components.

• Line‑manage a team of internal development resources, working in alignment with an external development team.
• Collaborate with internal cross‑functional teams and work alongside external partners to translate requirements, enhance capabilities and achieve project objectives.
• Monitor and optimise the performance of services, guaranteeing optimal user experiences for our users. Support troubleshooting and resolution of issues that may arise.
• Ensure solutions are designed for scalability, resilience, and compliance with relevant standards (e.g., GDPR, HIPAA, IEC 62304).
• Maintain documentation and support the implementation of frameworks that enable efficient development and ongoing support.
• Adhere to the letter and spirit of OrganOx's Code of Conduct and all other company policies.

Skills & Experience

• Proven experience as an architect, preferably within a regulated healthcare/life‑science environment and with enterprise solutions.
• Hands‑on expertise in full‑stack development technologies (IoT, Azure cloud, mobile, web, APIs, microservices), including front‑end and back‑end components.
• Familiarity across a variety of relevant development languages/frameworks (.NET, C#, React, etc.).
• Expertise in contemporary development methodologies in a regulated industry, such as Agile, and experience implementing such practices within small development teams consisting of internal and external partners.
• Experience in providing technical leadership to team members and engaging directly with customers if necessary.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field.
• Strong understanding of medical device data security and compliance requirements (HIPAA, GDPR, IEC 62304, etc.).
• Excellent problem‑solving skills and the ability to troubleshoot complex issues.
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills.
