In this role, you will be a cornerstone of a high-performing engineering team responsible for building and evolving the safety-critical workflows that blood bank professionals rely on daily — from specimen testing and cross-matching to bedside transfusion verification. You will shape architectural decisions for a platform where data integrity, patient safety, and seamless continuity of care across multi-facility hospital networks are non-negotiable.
As a principal-level contributor, you will lead the design of scalable integrations with hospital information systems such as Epic, applying service-oriented and event-driven architecture principles to ensure reliable, real-time communication from the blood bank to the bedside. You will guide the team in building secure, well-governed REST APIs, establishing scalable architecture that support multi-facility data exchange, and upholding the rigorous compliance standards. If you are energized by the challenge of building distributed, event-driven systems where uptime and data integrity are genuinely life-critical, this is a rare opportunity to shape both the technology and the team at Haemonetics.

• Define Architectural Strategy: Set the long-term technical roadmap, engineering standards, and core technology adoption (engine, backend, rendering).
• Drive Technical Governance: Act as the final authority on critical design decisions, establish quality gates, and manage performance budgets.
• Lead Hands-On Innovation: Prototype foundational systems, perform high-level code reviews, and solve high-risk architectural challenges.
• Mentor Team: Coach team members to foster a culture of technical rigor and continuous improvement.
• Risk Management: Identify and mitigate technical debt, performance bottlenecks, and architectural risks across the development lifecycle.
• Cross-Disciplinary Partnership: Align technical architecture with regulatory and commercial objectives.
