Founding Platform Engineer

About Omni Octa Most compliance software is built around documents.

We believe compliance should be built around reality.

Every day, engineering teams make design changes, merge code, update requirements, close tickets, modify risks, approve tests, and release software. Traditional compliance systems often discover these changes weeks or months later, forcing teams into manual documentation, compliance catch-up, and audit preparation.

We're building something different.

Omni Octa is creating the AI-native compliance orchestration platform for regulated engineering.

Instead of asking people to manually keep systems in sync, our platform continuously understands what's happening across engineering, determines the regulatory impact, orchestrates the right actions, and keeps compliance up to date automatically.

We're starting in medical devices—a field where our founders have personally taken products through FDA clearance and EU MDR certification—but our ambition is much bigger. We believe every regulated engineering team deserves software that works with them instead of creating more work.

We're working closely with our first design partners and are now looking for one of our first engineers to help build the company from the ground up.

If you enjoy solving hard technical problems, building products from scratch, and having a real say in how a company evolves, we'd love to talk.

What You'll Build As one of our first engineers, you'll help shape the core of the platform, including:

Integrations with Jira, GitHub, document management systems, eQMS platforms, and other engineering tools

Event ingestion and normalization pipelines that transform engineering activity into regulatory signals

The workflow engine that turns detected events into reviews, approvals, CAPAs, risk updates, and other compliance actions

A compliance state machine where every transition is explicit, traceable, and auditable

Cryptographically verifiable audit trails that customers can rely on during inspections and regulatory submissions

Customer-facing dashboards and workflow interfaces

Core services supporting our regulatory knowledge graph and orchestration platform

Infrastructure that is reliable, explainable, and built for regulated environments

What Success Looks Like Within your first year, you'll help deliver:

A production platform running with our pilot customers

Live integrations with major engineering systems

Compliance workflows operating in real-world environments

Automated audit-ready evidence generation

Technical foundations that will shape the future of the company

About You We're not looking for someone who ticks every box. If you're excited by the mission and enjoy building ambitious products, we'd love to hear from you.
