Imagine a patient, let’s call her Anya. Anya has been feeling exhausted for months. She struggles to concentrate at work, and her family has noticed she’s unusually irritable. Unbeknownst to her, she stops breathing dozens of times every night—a condition known as Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA). Her journey to a diagnosis often hits a roadblock: a lack of awareness and a fragmented healthcare system where critical signals get lost. Now, imagine a different path. During a routine check-up, her doctor’s electronic medical record (EMR) system automatically flags her symptoms as potential indicators of OSA, suggests a simple at-home sleep test, and seamlessly refers her to a specialist. This digital lifeline, this bridge between a patient’s suffering and a life-changing solution, is what you will help build at ResMed.

The Associate Engineer, Software Engineering position at ResMed’s Bangalore office is not merely an entry-level job; it is a calling for those who believe that technology’s highest purpose is to serve humanity. This role is a unique fusion of technical rigor and profound human impact, designed for the next generation of software engineers—those with 0-3 years of experience who are proficient in Java and Spring Boot, and who are ready to move beyond theoretical exercises to tackle real-world problems that affect millions. We are looking for more than coders; we are looking for builders, innovators, and compassionate problem-solvers. If you are driven by the idea that the features you develop, the APIs you design, and the tests you write can directly contribute to someone like Anya breathing easier, sleeping better, and living a healthier, more vibrant life, then your journey begins here. Join us, and let’s change 250 million lives together, starting with your first line of code.

About ResMed: Pioneering a Healthier World, One Breath at a Time

ResMed stands as a global leader in cloud-connected medical devices and comprehensive software solutions, dedicated to transforming the care for millions suffering from sleep apnea, COPD, and other chronic respiratory conditions. Our mission is both ambitious and unequivocal: to change 250 million lives in 2025. This isn’t a corporate slogan; it’s the north star that guides every project, every line of code, and every innovation that leaves our doors.

The core of ResMed’s strategy is the “out-of-hospital” care continuum. For decades, healthcare has been centered around the hospital or clinic. We are fundamentally shifting this paradigm by bringing effective, manageable, and connected care into the home. Think of it as a seamless, digital ecosystem:

1. Awareness and Diagnosis: A patient is identified through integrated systems (like the EMR integration you’ll work on) and prescribed a ResMed device.
2. At-Home Treatment: The patient uses a comfortable, non-invasive device like a CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) machine at home.
3. Connected Care: The device is cloud-connected, securely transmitting usage and efficacy data to our platforms.
4. Actionable Insights: Our software analyzes this data, providing clinicians with clear, actionable insights to personalize patient care, adjust therapy remotely, and intervene proactively.

This end-to-end system ensures that the patient is never alone in their journey. By joining ResMed, you are not just working for a medical device company; you are becoming part of a holistic health-tech ecosystem that places the patient and the caregiver at the absolute center of every innovation. We are continuously pushing the boundaries of what’s possible, leveraging cloud computing, AI, and IoT to improve patient outcomes and empower individuals to take control of their health.

About the Project: The Interoperability Revolution in Healthcare

As an Associate Engineer, you will be deployed at the frontline of one of our most critical and impactful initiatives: healthcare interoperability. Your team will be responsible for building and scaling the sophisticated software solutions that integrate ResMed’s platforms with the complex world of Hospital EMRs and Ambulatory EHRs.

The problem we are solving is both a technical and a human challenge. The healthcare industry is a labyrinth of isolated systems that often cannot talk to each other. This creates data silos where critical patient information is trapped, leading to delayed diagnoses, repetitive testing, and fragmented care. For conditions like sleep apnea, which is notoriously under-diagnosed, this fragmentation can have severe consequences, as it is a significant risk factor for hypertension, heart disease, stroke, and type 2 diabetes.

Your work will directly dismantle these silos. You will be engineering the digital bridges that allow a physician using an Epic or Cerner EMR system to easily identify patients at risk for sleep apnea, initiate a referral to a sleep specialist, and receive diagnostic and treatment data back from ResMed’s platform—all within their familiar clinical workflow. This is not a hypothetical scenario; it is the daily reality of the systems you will help build, maintain, and improve. You are not just building software; you are architecting a more efficient, aware, and connected healthcare infrastructure. You are creating the technological pathways that can lead a struggling individual from uncertainty to diagnosis, from sickness to health. The code you write will be a vital link in a chain of care that has the power to save and dramatically improve lives on a global scale.

Key Responsibilities in Detail: Your Day-to-Day Impact

Your role as an Associate Engineer is dynamic and multifaceted, designed to give you a broad exposure to modern full-stack development within a mission-critical, cloud-native environment. Here is a detailed breakdown of what your day-to-day work will entail:

1. Full-Stack Development with a Backend Focus:
Your primary playground will be the backend, but you will have a clear line of sight to the entire application stack.

• Backend Mastery with Java & Spring Boot: You will spend a significant portion of your time designing, developing, and maintaining robust, scalable, and secure backend services. This involves:
  • Business Logic Implementation: Writing the core logic that powers our healthcare applications. For example, you might develop a service that processes patient data from an EMR, applies clinical rules to assess OSA risk, and generates a risk score for a physician.
  • Data Processing and Integration: Building services that handle the seamless and secure flow of data between ResMed’s cloud and external hospital systems. This requires a meticulous approach to data integrity, security, and performance.
  • Performance and Reliability: Ensuring that the services you build can handle millions of data points and API calls with low latency and high availability, because in healthcare, system downtime is not an option.
• Frontend Contribution with ReactJS (Good-to-Have): While the role is backend-heavy, software engineering at ResMed is a collaborative effort. You will have opportunities to contribute to the frontend, working with ReactJS, TypeScript, and JavaScript to help build the user interfaces that clinicians and patients interact with. This could involve creating a new component for a data dashboard or helping to integrate a new API endpoint into an existing React view. This full-stack exposure is invaluable for understanding the complete product lifecycle.

2. Building for the Cloud: A SaaS-First, DevOps Mindset:
ResMed’s solutions are delivered as Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), and you will be ingrained with a DevOps culture from day one.

• CI/CD Pipeline Development: You will be an active participant in building and maintaining our Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment pipelines. This means your code changes are automatically built, tested, and prepared for release to production. You’ll learn tools and practices that ensure we can deliver value to our customers quickly and reliably.
• Deployment Automation: You will work on scripting and automating deployment processes, striving for a world where a single command can safely deploy our software to cloud environments. This involves understanding infrastructure, configuration management, and release strategies.

3. Architecting Connections: RESTful APIs and Microservices:
You will be a key contributor to our API ecosystem, which is the foundation of our interoperability mission.

• API Design and Implementation: You will design, build, and document RESTful APIs that are clean, intuitive, and adhere to industry best practices. These APIs are the contract between ResMed and the wider healthcare world, so their design is critical.
• Microservices Development: Our architecture is built on microservices—small, independent, loosely coupled services. You will develop new microservices and maintain existing ones, understanding how to break down complex business domains into manageable, scalable components.

4. A Culture of Quality: TDD, Code Reviews, and Debugging:
In healthcare technology, quality is not a feature; it is a prerequisite. A bug is not just an inconvenience; it can have real-world consequences.

• Test-Driven Development (TDD): You will be expected to embrace TDD principles. This means writing unit and integration tests before writing the implementation code. This practice ensures your code is testable, reliable, and designed with clarity from the outset. For instance, before writing a service to calculate a patient’s therapy adherence, you would first write tests defining the expected outputs for various inputs.
• Active Participation in Code Reviews: Code reviews are a cornerstone of our engineering culture. You will both give and receive constructive feedback on code. This is not a critique of the person but a collaborative process to share knowledge, enforce best practices, and catch potential issues early. It is one of the most powerful tools for learning and improving as an engineer.
• Debugging and Performance Tuning: You will develop the skills to diagnose and fix complex issues in a distributed system. This involves using logging, monitoring tools, and your analytical skills to track down the root cause of a problem and implement a robust solution.

5. The Future of Coding: Embracing AI Pair Programming:
ResMed is committed to staying at the forefront of engineering productivity. A distinctive aspect of this role is the expectation to work comfortably in a paired programming model with AI tools.

• Leveraging AI as a Co-pilot: This does not mean the AI writes the code for you. Rather, you will learn to use it as a powerful assistant. You might use it to:
  • Generate Boilerplate Code: Quickly create standard class structures or configuration files.
  • Refactor and Optimize: Get suggestions for making your code cleaner and more efficient.
  • Write Documentation and Tests: Automate the creation of initial documentation drafts and unit test skeletons.
  • Brainstorm Solutions: Explore different algorithmic approaches to a problem.
    This skill is about amplifying your own intelligence and creativity, freeing you to focus on the more complex and rewarding aspects of software design.

6. Architectural Contribution and Documentation:
Your voice and your ideas are valued from the start.

• Design Discussions: You will be included in meetings where new features and systems are designed. You will be encouraged to ask questions, challenge assumptions, and contribute your own ideas to the architectural blueprint of our products.
• Clear Communication: You will be responsible for documenting the technical specifications of the components you build. Clear documentation is essential for knowledge sharing within our global teams and for ensuring the long-term maintainability of our systems.
