Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSam Jarman is an engineering leader and principal software engineer with 12 years’ experience, currently co-leading Cochlear’s Clinical Cloud and accountable for regulated backend systems that support patient- and clinician-facing applications. He specialises in reducing systemic friction—standardising platforms, shared APIs and decision frameworks—so teams can move quickly without heroics, and has driven platform exits and templates now used across 100+ codebases. Equally comfortable shipping TypeScript/Node.js serverless systems and pragmatic AI tooling, he has introduced Copilot, internal agents and RAG-based developer tools within enterprise and regulatory constraints. Sam combines hands-on delivery with people leadership—directly managing engineers and contractors across cities while mentoring graduates and running internal learning programs. He thrives where functioning systems need faster, safer progress due to legacy complexity or unclear ownership, and measures success by durable systems and the strength of the leaders beneath him. Based in Sydney, he brings a rare blend of clinical-regulated engineering experience, platform thinking and a track record of compounding engineering velocity.
