The role focuses on designing secure, reliable, and FDA-compliant mobile software that communicates with insulin pumps and CGMs through Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), manages therapy data, and synchronizes information to the cloud.The architect partners closely with firmware, cloud, cybersecurity, quality, and regulatory teams to ensure the mobile platform is safe, scalable, and compliant. Responsibilities include setting iOS technical strategy, establishing engineering standards, mentoring senior engineers, driving BLE connectivity architecture, ensuring data integrity and security, and mitigating technical risks related to connectivity, battery life, performance, and patient safety.\nKey focus areas: iOS architecture, BLE connectivity, medical device software, cloud integration, cybersecurity, FDA-regulated development, and technical leadership.\n\nThe Senior Principal iOS Architect defines the vision, architecture, and engineering strategy for the iOS mobile app in an FDA-regulated insulin delivery system. The mobile app is the patient-facing controller in an IoT-style system: it discovers and maintains a secure Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) connection to the pump, issues therapy commands, receives pump and continuous glucose monitor (CGM) data, and securely synchronizes that data to the cloud.\nThis is a hands-on individual-contributor architecture role. You will set the long-term technical direction, establish the standards other iOS engineers build to, mentor senior engineers, and stay close enough to the code to make the hard design decisions yourself. You will partner with firmware, cloud, quality, cybersecurity, and regulatory colleagues so the mobile architecture supports a safe, reliable, and maintainable medical device.\nThis is a hybrid role, with 1-2 days per week in the office.\nResponsibilities:\nDefine and evolve the iOS architecture for pump control, CGM and pump data capture, local persistence, and cloud upload, including how the app behaves across connection loss, background execution, and app lifecycle events.\nOwn the BLE strategy for the mobile app: connection models, pairing and bonding, reconnection, command and data reliability, and how the app coexists with pump firmware constraints.\nSet the technical vision for the iOS platform and translate it into roadmaps, architecture decision records, interface contracts, and implementation standards.\nDesign for a regulated medical device: traceable requirements, risk controls, verification and validation, and a software lifecycle that supports FDA design controls.\nEstablish security and privacy architecture for therapy commands and protected health information in transit and at rest, aligned with HIPAA, FDA cybersecurity expectations, and healthcare privacy obligations.\nDefine data integrity rules for glucose, insulin delivery, and device-state data from capture on the phone through upload and reconciliation in the cloud.\nReview designs and critical code paths, and mentor senior engineers so architectural intent survives implementation.\nPartner with firmware, cloud, quality, human factors, and regulatory teams on interface contracts, hazard mitigations, and submission-ready technical evidence.\nEvaluate cross-platform options for shared non-UI logic, such as Flutter or Kotlin Multiplatform, while keeping the therapy user interface native iOS.\nIdentify technical risk early and drive mitigation for connectivity, battery, latency, data loss, and upgrade compatibility.\nBasic Requirements:\nBachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or Computer Engineering.\nAt least 10 years of professional software engineering experience, with substantial recent work architecting and shipping production iOS mobile apps.\nDeep experience with Swift and Apple platform APIs, including application lifecycle, background execution, networking, and local storage.\nDemonstrated Bluetooth Low Energy experience on iOS using Core Bluetooth, including connection management, pairing, and reliable command and notification handling.\nExperience defining architecture for a connected system in which a mobile app is a controller or gateway for a physical device and a cloud backend.\nWorking knowledge of HIPAA and how it applies to collection, storage, and transmission of protected health information from a mobile medical app.\nExperience operating inside a regulated quality system, such as medical device, aerospace, or another design-control environment, including requirements traceability and verification.\nAbility to write and defend architecture decisions that balance safety, security, reliability, and delivery speed.\nClear written and verbal communication with engineers and with quality, regulatory, and clinical partners.\nPreferred Qualifications:\nExperience with insulin delivery, CGM, or other Class II or Class III connected medical devices.\nWorking knowledge of IEC 62304, ISO 14971, IEC 62366, FDA design controls, and FDA premarket cybersecurity guidance.\nSecurity architecture for mobile medical software: secure storage, certificate pinning, authenticated cloud APIs, and BLE security modes.\nExperience with Android mobile apps, so the iOS and Android controllers stay aligned across all capabilities.\nCross-platform experience with Flutter or Kotlin Multiplatform limited to shared non-UI logic, with the therapy user interface remaining native iOS.\nExperience with offline-first sync, conflict handling, and auditability of device data uploaded to the cloud.\nSwiftUI and UIKit at production scale, modularization, and dependency boundaries that keep safety-critical paths isolated.\nExperience contributing technical content to regulatory submissions or design history files.\nA graduate degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or Computer Engineering.\nExperience mentoring senior and principal-level engineers and setting engineering standards across teams, as an individual contributor.\nAdditional Information:\n\nCompensation & Benefits:\n\nFor U.S.-based positions only, the annual base salary range for this role is $226,400.00 - $339,650.00\n\nThis position may also be eligible for incentive compensation.\n\nWe offer a comprehensive benefits package, including:\n• Medical, dental, and vision insurance\n• 401(k) with company match\n• Paid time off (PTO)\n• And additional employee wellness programs\n\nApplication Details:\nThis job posting will remain open until the position is filled.\nTo apply, please visit the Insulet Careers site and submit your application online.\n\nActual pay depends on skills, experience, and education.Insulet Corporation (NASDAQ: PODD), headquartered in Massachusetts, is an innovative medical device company dedicated to simplifying life for people with diabetes and other conditions through its Omnipod product platform.
