Job Type: Full Time
Job Location: Austin TX Remote

ALCON DTS has partnered with one of the leading medical device manufacturers in LATAM to build the next generation of cutting-edge healthcare technology. This innovation will fundamentally transform how care is delivered across clinics and practices worldwide—making life-saving diagnostics faster, more accessible, and more affordable.

We’re assembling an elite engineering team to bring this vision to life. You’ll be joining at the ground floor of an ambitious program with strong executive sponsorship, financial backing, and the opportunity to shape a product that will define a new category in healthcare technology.

What we are looking for:

  • Engineers who thrive at the intersection of scalable software systems, AI/ML integration, and regulated medical technology.

  • Leaders who can design, build, and deliver enterprise-ready platforms that integrate hardware, cloud, and data analytics into seamless customer solutions.

  • Innovators who bring pragmatism, architectural rigor, and a bias for action to a greenfield product that must scale globally.

  • Collaborators who can partner across product, clinical, and hardware teams in a highly visible, mission-driven initiative.

Qualifications Include:

  • 12+ years of engineering experience with 5+ years in architecture or technical leadership roles.

  • Recognized expertise in designing and scaling mission-critical, enterprise systems across hybrid cloud + edge environments.

  • Experience integrating AI/ML models into production workflows, ideally with experience in MLOps pipelines(SageMaker, Vertex AI, MLFlow).

  • Deep knowledge of security, compliance, and privacy frameworks relevant to healthcare.

  • Ability to influence product direction, drive architectural decisions, and mentor senior/staff engineers.

  • Previous contributions to regulatory submissions or clinical-grade software are a plus.

Who You Are:

  • A builder at heart: excited to solve complex problems, but disciplined enough to design for scale, resilience, and compliance.

  • Comfortable moving between architecture design and hands-on coding.

  • Experienced working in regulated environments (HIPAA, GDPR, FDA 21 CFR Part 11) or adjacent industries like fintech, healthtech, or aerospace.

  • Adept at working in global, distributed teams and can mentor others while influencing stakeholders.

  • Motivated by impact—your work will directly improve access to critical healthcare.

Requirements For The Position Are:

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field (PhD a plus for Principal).

  • Ability to travel occasionally across LATAM and U.S. for key program milestones.

  • Willingness to work in a fast-moving, confidential innovation program where adaptability and discretion are critical.

We Offer:

  • Competitive pay
  • Unlimited PTO
  • Medical/Dental/Vision/Life/Disability available
  • Career Development and Coaching
  • Fun work environment!
