## Job description

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 a people-first leadership role. You will manage and develop a team of test and DevOps engineers, set priorities and development plans, and drive performance, while staying hands-on in the technical direction.

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 DevOps and test engineers, setting priorities, individual development plans, conducting performance reviews, and maintaining a high standard of engineering practice

- Own the CI/CD strategy and build and release infrastructure across the software stack, including the multi-device test fleet, pipeline reliability, and artifact management

- Own the Yocto-based embedded Linux platform build and deployment, including the signed software update mechanism with rollback, hardware compatibility checks, and image integrity and authenticity

- Lead architecture reviews, perform proofs-of-concept for new infrastructure tools, and contribute directly to codebases where high-level technical hurdles require expert intervention.

- Define and drive the software V&V and test automation strategy, building infrastructure for continuous validation and championing design for testability across the engineering stack

- Establish compliance-as-code workflows that map verification evidence to IEC 62304 (Class C) and ISO 14971 risk controls, maintain the high-bar for engineering excellence in a regulated safety-critical environment and automate regulatory evidence generation to reduce time to submission

- Own cloud-side data pipelines and infrastructure-as-code, supporting data ingest, analysis, and MLOps workflows where required

- Coordinate cybersecurity workstreams, working closely with IT and QARA teams

- Partner with the Software Engineering Manager on release processes, branching strategy, and automated quality gates

- AI is fundamental to our culture — it's not just a tool, but a core part of how we work, collaborate, and innovate. We expect all team members to embrace AI in their daily work and continuously find new ways to use it effectively.

### SKILLS & EXPERIENCE:

- 10+ years of progressive experience in software, DevOps, or test engineering, with at least 3 years in an engineering management or team lead role

- Proven experience leading and growing DevOps, test, platform, or infrastructure teams

- Strong hands-on background in CI/CD, build systems, and test automation for embedded and/or cloud systems

- Experience with embedded Linux build and deployment, ideally Yocto-based BSPs, or a strong equivalent

- Experience architecting scalable test infrastructure spanning embedded hardware and cloud-side data pipelines

- Experience delivering in a regulated industry (medical devices, aerospace, automotive, or similar), with working knowledge of IEC 62304 and ISO 14971

- Advanced Python and C/C++, with experience of infrastructure-as-code and at least one major cloud provider (AWS, GCP, or Azure)

### NICE TO HAVE:

- Experience with hardware-in-the-loop or software-in-the-loop test environments

- Exposure to MLOps, including model drift validation, dataset governance, and automated performance evaluation and deployment of organisational AI strategy

- Experience with cybersecurity requirements (e.g. IEC 81001-5-1, FDA cybersecurity guidance) and SOUP management

- Experience managing complex build environments (CMake, Conan, Ceedling) or cloud-native infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, CDK)

- Familiarity with observability tooling such as Grafana and Prometheus

### BENEFITS:

- Company equity plan so all employees share in the success of the company

- Salary-sacrifice pension scheme

- Private medical, dental and vision insurance (medical history disregarded)

- Group life assurance at 4x annual income

- Comprehensive mental health support, including unlimited access to 1:1 sessions with trained professionals

- Unlimited holiday allowance (+ bank holidays) and one week of remote working per quarter

- Lunch voucher (£10) every day for JustEat and free dinner on those days where you need to work later

- Twice weekly deliveries of fresh fruit and an extensive selection of snacks and drinks

- YuLife subscription, allowing you to turn your daily steps and meditation into discounts at a range of stores

**Live in Comind’s hiring system.** Read from the company's own applicant tracking system, not reposted from a job board — so it's a real, open requisition rather than an ad that outlived the role.

We remove it as soon as it disappears at source.
