Automated insulin delivery systems for type 1 diabetes management
Tandem manufactures hybrid closed-loop insulin pumps (t:slim X2, Tandem Mobi) with Control-IQ technology for type 1 diabetes patients. The tech stack reveals a regulated-device company in transition: heavy reliance on Dynamics 365 and Salesforce for supply-chain and sales operations, now adopting PLM (product lifecycle management) to handle complexity across new product launches, clinical strategy, and international expansion. Active hiring skews sales (20 roles) and engineering (11), with mid-to-senior seniority dominating, suggesting concurrent commercialization and development cycles.
