About iRhythm:

iRhythm is a leading digital healthcare company focused on the way cardiac arrhythmias are clinically diagnosed by combining our wearable bio sensing technology with powerful cloud-based data analytics and Artificial Intelligence capabilities. Our goal is to be the leading provider of ambulatory ECG monitoring for patients at risk for arrhythmias. iRhythm's continuous ambulatory monitoring has already put over 4 million patients and their doctors on a shorter path to what they both need - answers.

About this Role:

iRhythm is seeking a Staff R&D Engineer to join our Product Development team. The Product Development team is made up of a close-knit group of talented engineers representing a wide range of engineering disciplines. This position is a hybrid role that will require you to be on-site in our San Francisco, California office, with flexibility for days of remote work as appropriate.
