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 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 * * * Compensation: £93,681 – £131,482 • Offers Equity * • Salary £93,681 – £131,482 • Offers Equity Find more [English Speaking Jobs in United Kingdom](https://www.arbeitnow.co.uk/english-speaking-jobs) on Arbeitnow
