As a leading digital health company, we innovate to positively impact patient behaviors. Our purpose-driven approach offers an inspirational career opportunity where you can contribute to improving health outcomes for millions of patients nationwide.\nLocation: Remote within the United States\nTravel Requirements: 2-4 Times a year\nJob Summary \nThe Senior Staff Engineer on the Ops Portal team is a technical anchor at the intersection of field operations and software engineering. You will serve as the Engineering Lead within the product trio, owning the technical direction and architecture of the tools that Field, DS, and Client Operations rely on every day: Ops Portal, the Device Configurator Application (DCA), and Unified Device Diagnostics (UDD), an AI agent platform that collects device data and diagnoses issues across the fleet. \nThis is a hands-on role with broad scope. It spans three products and the shared Android device platform, which is why it sits at Senior Staff. You will write production code, sign off on the team’s highest-risk changes, and shape what gets built alongside the Product Lead and Design Lead. You will also bring Android, IoT, and AI agent expertise to PatientPoint’s Engineering Architecture Group. \nWhat You Will Do \nOwn technical direction for Ops Portal, DCA, and UDD: architecture, standards, and release cadence. \nStay hands-on. Write production code in Kotlin, Python, and Node.js, and review work across the React front end, the serverless backend, and the Android and iOS apps. \nPartner with the Product Lead and Design Lead from discovery through planning. Assess feasibility and surface technical constraints, capacity, and sequencing risks before commitments are made. \nArchitect and build services and APIs for real-time device communication and remote command and control, on AWS IoT Core and MQTT, serverless AWS (Lambda, API Gateway, Cognito), and Terraform. \nLead the evolution of UDD and the Ops AI assistant: AI agents on AWS Bedrock that use tools over MCP, with human-in-the-loop controls and evals that show they work. Move the product area from reactive troubleshooting toward eventual proactive, self-healing operations. \nOwn change safety for the fleet. Sign off on the team’s highest-risk changes, such as bulk updates to tens of thousands of devices, device provisioning, and anything that lets AI act on a device, and make sure each has a staged rollout and a tested rollback. \nHold the security bar: authentication and authorization, secrets, and keeping PHI out of logs, screenshots, and LLM output. \nWork with the other device teams that share the Android codebase (core libraries, the DMM agent, and fleet deployment tooling) so changes land safely for every team that ships from it. \nEnsure the product is instrumented and observable. Establish usage metrics, error tracking, and performance monitoring so the team makes evidence-based decisions. \nEngage with the Architecture Group: submit RFCs for significant architectural decisions, uphold org-wide standards, and lead R&D and proofs of concept in AI-assisted diagnostics, self-healing device workflows, and next-gen provisioning. \nSupport story breakdowns, design sessions, and PR reviews. Mentor engineers and raise the team’s technical capability. \nWhat We Need \n10+ years of software engineering experience building and running production systems. \nStrong backend proficiency in Kotlin and/or Python, building reliable services and APIs. \nHands-on experience with Android device fleets: Android app or system development (AOSP, APK deployment, ADB), device telemetry, remote command and control, and provisioning. \nDeep AWS experience, including AWS IoT Core and MQTT, serverless (Lambda, API Gateway, Cognito), and infrastructure-as-code (Terraform). \nExperience building AI agent systems: LLM tool use (MCP or equivalent), guardrails on what agents can do, and evals. \nPrior experience as a technical or engineering lead on a product team: owning architectural direction, setting standards, operating as a peer to product and design, and unblocking others without becoming a bottleneck. \nProficiency with AI-assisted development tools (Cursor, Claude, Copilot) as part of your everyday workflow. \nDesired Qualifications \nBLE-based configuration and mobile provisioning workflows, and familiarity with iOS and Swift (CoreBluetooth). \nReact and Node.js, for contributing to and reviewing Ops Portal front-end and Lambda work. \nDigital signage or kiosk-mode Android fleets. \nEvent streaming (Kafka or equivalent). \nObservability tooling (CloudWatch, X-Ray, OpenTelemetry) and product analytics (Mixpanel), with a habit of building instrumentation into everything you ship. \nHealthcare or other regulated environments, including HIPAA and PHI handling. \nWhat You Will Need to Succeed \nStrong ownership mindset: you take problems from ambiguity to production and stay accountable after they ship. \nSound architectural instincts, with the judgment to know when to keep things simple and when more structure is needed. \nGenuine curiosity about field operations. The domain is the product, and understanding how technicians work makes the engineering better. \nA collaborative, enabling leadership style that raises the team’s technical capability rather than creating dependency on you. \nBase Salary Band: $144,390- $220,834\nCompensation: At PatientPoint, we are committed to providing competitive pay and benefits that are in line with industry standards. We analyze and carefully consider several factors when determining compensation, including skills, qualifications, geographic location, and professional experience, which can cause your compensation to vary.
