Software Engineer

At Globus Medical, we move with a sense of urgency to deliver innovations that improve the quality of life of patients with musculoskeletal disorders. Our team is inspired by the needs of these patients, and the surgeons and healthcare providers who treat them. We embrace a culture of exceptional response by partnering with researchers and educators to transform clinical insights into tangible solutions. Our solutions improve the techniques and outcomes of surgery so patients can resume their lives as quickly as possible. 

The responsibilities of the position include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Designing and developing software applications for robotic medical devices.
• Assess the existing C++/QML application, its workflows and dependencies; identify functionality and behavior that must be preserved during migration.
• Design, implement and maintain C++ services and API interfaces that support the web application, following established architecture and communication patterns, including gRPC where appropriate.
• Build accessible, responsive and maintainable user interfaces using Svelte and modern JavaScript or TypeScript.
• Package and configure the application as a containerized solution that can be installed and run on a dedicated server or a local PC.
• Work across the application stack to integrate the UI, API, services, configuration and deployment; diagnose and resolve issues from development through release.
• Write and maintain automated tests, participate in design reviews, and contribute to software verification and validation activities to ensure designs meet requirements
• Managing all aspects of assigned work packages to ensure timely completion of tasks while remaining in full compliance with Globus software development environment (version control, tool chains, documentation tools) and quality system.
• Periodically attend surgical cases to understand context, workflows with integrated capital equipment and end-user (i.e., surgeon) requirements.
• Adhering to the letter and spirit of the company Code of Conduct, the AdvaMed Code, MedTech Code, and all other company policies. Ensure Compliance with applicable governmental laws, rules, and regulations, both in the United States and internationally, by completing introductory and annual training and maintaining knowledge of compliance as it applies to your role.
• Representing the company in a professional manner and uphold the highest standards of ethical business practices and socially responsible conduct in all interactions with other employees, customers, suppliers, and other third parties of Globus.

In order to be qualified for this role, you must possess the following:

• Proactive and autonomous mindset supported by problem solving skills.
• Bachelor’s Degree with 5-7 years or a Master’s degree with 3-5 years of hands-on software development. Titles matter less to us than what you have personally designed and shipped.
• Professional experience building web user interfaces with a modern component framework (Angular, React, Vue or similar) and solid TypeScript, HTML and CSS. Svelte experience is a plus; we expect you to pick it up quickly.
• Substantial back-end experience in modern C++ (C++17 or later), with a working command of ownership and lifetime, concurrency, and modular design. Rust experience is a strong plus. Back-end experience limited to JavaScript/Node.js does not meet this requirement: this is not a pure web-development role.
• Experience designing or integrating APIs and working with client/server applications; familiarity with gRPC or Protocol Buffers is a plus.
• Experience with CMake-based C++ builds, containers (Docker) and running applications on Linux and Windows. Qt and Python experience are a plus.
• Demonstrated architectural judgment: you can explain why a service boundary sits where it does, and you have refactored or migrated a sizeable existing codebase without breaking what already worked.
• Disciplined engineering practice: you analyze the problem and write down the design before you code, you test as you go, and you document what you shipped. Comfortable with lightweight modeling (C4, a UML subset).
• A track record of owning features end to end rather than contributing to them. We will ask what you personally designed and built, and we expect you to say so when you do not know something.
• Medical devices or life sciences experience is an asset.
• Ability to travel up to 5% of the time and attend cadaver labs and surgeries.
