Job Description

We're looking for a Staff Software Engineer who is passionate about building a modern, scalable Data as a Service (DaaS) platform that powers Intuitive's Digital products and supports over 2,000 engineers across the organization. In this role, you will own and evolve critical components of our real-time and micro-batch data pipelines that power product development, internal tools, and analytics.

Your work will focus on enabling high-throughput, low-latency data delivery through streaming pipelines, dynamic transformations, and APIs, driving application development, AI/ML, and actionable insights. You will help define the architecture and engineering practices that support self-service analytics and operational decision-making on scale.

As a catalyst for change, you will be at the forefront of reimagining how engineering teams consume and interact with data. Long-term success in this role means building robust, efficient systems and replacing legacy processes with modern solutions that allow teams to move faster, with greater confidence and autonomy.

  • Build highly scalable distributed systems that leverage event-based and streaming data pipelines to handle ingestion and processing of robot, manufacturing, and clinical data
  • Enable users by providing self-service APIs and applications to access and interact with data
  • Work closely with core engineering teams to consistently evolve data models based on growing business needs
  • Apply and evangelize software development best practices such as CI/CD, automated testing, infrastructure-as-code, and microservice architectures
  • Effectively participate in the team's planning, code reviews, KPI reviews, and design discussions leading to continuous improvement in these areas.
  • Act as a technical supervisor within the data domain driving best practices, mentoring teammates, and continuously improving how data is produced, shared, and consumed across the organization

  • Experience with AWS and/or GCP
  • Experience with SQL and relational databases
  • Ability and enthusiasm to work collaboratively and cross-functionally, and take end-to-end ownership to deliver results for customers
