Cure Talent are delighted to be partnered with an emerging wearable medical technology company at a defining stage of its growth. Developing next-generation physiological monitoring solutions, the business is transitioning from advanced product development towards regulatory approval and commercial launch.

We are looking for an experienced Principal Software Engineer to provide technical leadership across the company's software function, working closely with the Head of Engineering and multidisciplinary teams spanning Software, Signal Processing and Firmware.

This is a hands-on technical leadership role, combining software architecture and technical decision-making with day-to-day engineering, development and problem-solving.

Key Responsibilities

  • Provide technical leadership across software development, architecture and engineering best practice
  • Own and evolve the software architecture across the medical device platform
  • Lead technical decision-making across Software, Signal Processing and Firmware interfaces
  • Ensure software development aligns with IEC 62304 and wider medical device requirements
  • Support regulatory submissions and the progression of products towards commercial release
  • Provide technical guidance to internal engineers, contractors and external development partners
  • Remain hands-on with software development, code reviews, testing, documentation and troubleshooting

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
