Our Implantable Heart Failure Management (IHFM) business's AI, Product and Platforms organization is at the forefront of addressing these unmet patient needs through pioneering technology that enables early, targeted therapeutic intervention. Our innovative solutions are not just transforming patient care but also creating a unique and exciting environment for our team members. It is our driving force to help patients live longer and healthier lives. Join us and be part of our inspiring journey.\nAt Edwards Lifesciences, the Implantable Heart Failure Management (IHFM) AI, Product and Platforms organization designs and builds the software and data products that clinicians and patients depend on. As a Staff Software Engineer (Applications), Full Stack, you set the web application architecture across the front end, the BFF, and supporting services, drive modernization at scale, and personally build the patterns and tooling multiple teams adopt.\nBased in Irvine, CA, you'll join a high-impact medtech innovation hub in the heart of Orange County, collaborating in person with cross-functional teams to shape patient-focused technology.\nHow you'll make an impact:\nWeb architecture, built. Set the web application architecture across the front end and its consumption of Platform APIs, including design system implementation, API contract patterns, navigation, feature flags, and modularization, and personally build the reference implementations.\nModernization at scale. Drive the Angular to React and BFF to Platform APIs migrations across teams, progressively retiring the BFF layer, and make monorepo and rendering strategy (server-side, static, and client-side) decisions backed by working prototypes.\nAPI and platform partnership. Partner with Platform engineers on API and gateway design that serves the application layer well, contribute server-side code to Platform-owned services where it unblocks client work, design integrations with third-party and EMR / EHR systems, and bring client constraints into product roadmap discussions.\nCloud-native patterns. Set the cloud deployment patterns for web applications (containers, CI/CD, and infrastructure as code) in partnership with Platform and DevOps and build the reference pipelines teams adopt.\nMobile partnership. Partner with the Mobile track on shared API contracts, design system parity, and cross-surface architecture, so that web and mobile evolve coherently.\nStandards. Set engineering standards across the web application ecosystem for code quality, accessibility implementation, performance budgets, API design, and test strategy.\nDesign control at scale. Shape how application design outputs, verification evidence, and traceability are produced across teams, in partnership with Software Systems and Process Development.\nMultiplier. Mentor P3 engineers, set the hiring bar at this level, and multiply team output through the architecture and tooling you build.\nWhat you'll need (Required):\nBachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or related field plus 8 years, or Master's degree plus 6 years.\nRecognized depth in web application architecture, with hands-on fluency in React, Angular, Platform API and gateway consumption (REST and GraphQL), and at least one server-side language, plus working knowledge of mobile client architecture.\nA track record of setting technical standards adopted across multiple teams.\nExperience leading a large-scale frontend or API modernization, such as Angular to React or BFF to Platform APIs.\nExperience designing and operating cloud-deployed applications at scale, including containers, CI/CD, and infrastructure as code.\nThe ability to embed quality and traceability into a secure software development lifecycle (SSDLC), including CI/CD and automated testing.\nWhat else we look for (Preferred):\nExperience in medical device software (SaMD), or other regulated classes of device software, under IEC 62304, ISO 13485, IEC 62366-1, and FDA design controls.\nExperience with experimentation, feature flag, and modular build infrastructure.\nExperience across the UI framework and design system ecosystem, such as Material UI, Chakra UI, Radix UI, Tailwind UI, shadcn/ui, IBM Carbon, or Ant Design.\nExperience with EMR / EHR integration (HL7, FHIR, IHE) and clinical workflows.\nExperience with container orchestration (Kubernetes) and infrastructure as code (Terraform, CloudFormation, or CDK). Aligning our overall business objectives with performance, we offer competitive salaries, performance-based incentives, and a wide variety of benefits programs to address the diverse individual needs of our employees and their families. For California, the base pay range for this position is $121,000 - $171,000 (highly experienced). The pay for the successful candidate will depend on various factors (e.g., qualifications, education, prior experience). Applications will be accepted while this position is posted on our Careers website. \nEdwards is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action employer including protected Veterans and individuals with disabilities.","description_format":"text","description_chars":5167,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Cardiovascular Devices","Patient Monitoring"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-19T15:54:33Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"US","licensed_sponsor":true,"evidence":"H-1B filings in 12 months: 45 · green card filings: 24","filings_12m":45,"filings_prev_12m":77,"green_card_filings_12m":24,"median_offered_wage_usd":125978,"route":null,"cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-10-15T11:24:14+00:00","sources":["US Department of Labor: LCA disclosure data (H-1B, H-1B1, E-3)","US Department of Labor: PERM disclosure data (green cards)"],"filings_for_role_12m":7}],"liveness":{"score":63,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":1,"p_active":0.632,"p_room":1,"age_days":6,"expected_fill_days":28,"reasons":["conf:6","stale_co","velocity","win:early","comp:brand"],"computed_at":"2026-10-26T05:57:25Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":171000,"is_top_pay":false},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/edwards-lifesciences-staff-software-engineer-applications-full-stack","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/edwards-lifesciences-staff-software-engineer-applications-full-stack.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-26T17:25:00Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":23325,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-27T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":5220},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=5220"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fedwards-lifesciences-staff-software-engineer-applications-full-stack"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fedwards-lifesciences-staff-software-engineer-applications-full-stack"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fedwards-lifesciences-staff-software-engineer-applications-full-stack"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/edwards-lifesciences-staff-software-engineer-applications-full-stack\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fedwards-lifesciences-staff-software-engineer-applications-full-stack"}]}
