Our Client is a leader in innovative medical technology, specializing in tubeless insulin pump systems designed to improve the lives of people with diabetes. Its flagship product provides users with a discreet, easy-to-use, and reliable solution for managing their insulin needs. With a strong commitment to advancing diabetes care, the company continuously invests in research and development to enhance user experience and clinical outcomes.

The Client is in the initial stages of rearchitecting an app to adopt the MVI (Model-View-Intent) architecture, enhancing its overall structure and maintainability. This shift ensures a more organized separation of concerns, allowing for better state management and a smoother user experience. You will be leading this process by guiding the team of developers to achieve the goal.
