Job Specifications

Role Summary

Design, build, and deliver software for Nexxis, our platform for the integrated digital operating room. Drive our evolution from pure AVoIP switching to application-centric orchestration that improves surgical team workflows in the operating room—integrating GPU-enabled applications and smart surgical displays as first-class Nexxis managed entities.

What You’ll Do

Drive and evolve the Nexxis NMS server architecture toward application-centric orchestration while strengthening testing, automation, and security-by-design
Design, build, and evolve our Kotlin/Spring Boot services and GraphQL/REST APIs; contribute to essential Vue based user flows
Extend Nexxis NMS to discover, provision, monitor, and update applications and smart surgical displays
Contribute to the Technical File for the Nexxis medical device (requirements/design inputs and outputs, verification evidence, risk-related items, traceability)
Collaborate closely with Product Management, Quality Assurance, User Experience Design, and the other Nexxis engineering teams; coach and unblock peers through design reviews and hands-on pairing

Core Technical Skills

Kotlin/Java, Spring Boot; strong object-oriented design and design patterns
GraphQL (must-have) and REST API design and evolution
Vue JavaScript for front-end contributions
SQL and messaging / event-driven patterns
CI/CD, automated testing (unit, system testing), Jenkins, Docker/containers
Security fundamentals
Networking for AVoIP: multicast, IGMP, VLAN...

Nice to have

GPU / accelerated computing (for example, NVIDIA IGX, Holoscan) and integration of AI inference pipelines
Interest in Agentic Engineering practices
Experience with Cloud software (AWS, Azure...)

Profile

Bachelor’s or Master’s in Computer Science/Engineering (or equivalent) with 6+ years in software engineering
Clear communicator, collaborative, and strong problem solver; comfortable shaping technical direction through hands-on delivery
Habit of continuous learning: quickly dives into and masters diverse frameworks, languages, and tools beyond the stacks above; selects technology pragmatically for the problem at hand and actively shares learnings
Interest in developing software under medical-device standards (for example, IEC 62304/ISO 13485 principles with risk-aware documentation and traceability)
Experience with Scrum/Agile development practices (backlog refinement, sprint reviews, iterative delivery, and team retrospectives)

Your Impact

Improve operating-room workflows for surgical teams on the Nexxis platform—paving the way for AI- and compute-powered applications that enhance safety, efficiency, and patient care.
