Senior Software Engineer

At Capstan Medical, we’re building one of the most exciting and innovative companies in medtech—developing a first-of-its-kind robotic platform for minimally invasive heart valve treatment. Our team combines surgical robotics, catheter-based delivery, and next-generation implants to transform complex procedures into safer, lower-stress solutions for patients and clinicians alike. As a highly collaborative, hands-on team, we move fast, wear multiple hats, and believe the best ideas can come from anyone.

Based in Santa Cruz, our unique workspace blends cutting-edge Bay Area innovation with a lifestyle-driven environment near trails, beaches, and open space—creating the perfect place to do meaningful, career-defining work.

Imagine building software for life-saving robotics technology while being minutes from world-class surf breaks and redwood forests. We’re developing a groundbreaking robotic platform that gives surgeons superhuman precision in transcatheter valve deployment—and we need an exceptional Software Engineer to design and build the complex software systems that make our robot work.

You’ll be writing code that runs on a real-time robotic system—building features, designing services, solving hard problems, and shipping software that clinicians depend on. We need someone who can architect and implement robust software, and who understands operating systems deeply enough to reason about performance, concurrency, and system behavior when it matters.
