Job Summary
As Senior Engineering Manager, Device Products & Operations, you will oversee software engineering across PatientPoint’s device-side product areas — field operations and device management tooling, exam-room patient engagement technology, waiting-room displays, and back-office systems — all running on Android and BrightSign devices in clinical and on-site settings.
You will be the Engineering Manager for a mix of senior Engineering Leads and individual-contributor engineers, owning hiring, performance, and career growth directly, and stepping into the Engineering Lead’s technical-direction role yourself where a team needs it.
This is a hands-on role: you’ll stay close to the code, contribute directly where it matters, champion AI-assisted and agentic ways of working across your teams, and bring credible, current expertise across Android (including Custom Android ROM, kiosk/rooted device management), AWS (IoT Core, Lambda, Bedrock AgentCore), and JavaScript/React front-ends to the technical decisions your teams make day to day.
What You’ll Do

• Own engineering outcomes across PatientPoint’s device product areas — field operations tooling, exam-room technology, waiting-room displays, and back-office systems.

• Serve as the Engineering Manager for a mix of senior Engineering Leads and individual-contributor engineers — owning hiring, performance, and career growth directly — and step into the Engineering Lead’s technical-direction role yourself where a team needs it.

• Stay close to the code: lead code reviews, contribute directly where needed, and guide teams on technical best practices.

• Champion AI-assisted and agentic engineering practices — in your own work, across your teams’ day-to-day development, and in the AI-powered capabilities we build into our products (e.g., automated device diagnostics).

• Coordinate priorities and dependencies across three or more concurrently active product areas with different tech stacks and team maturity.

• Contribute to cross-org architecture discussions (ARB/RFCs), bringing a device-fleet perspective to architecture trade-off conversations.

• Help engineers and Engineering Leads grow in their roles and career paths at PatientPoint.

• Partner closely with Product and Design leads on execution across the device product areas.

• Manage a blended team of full-time and contract engineers, onshore and offshore.

• Escalate organizational, staffing, and resourcing needs for the device product areas to engineering leadership.

What We Need

• 10+ years of software engineering experience, including 2+ years leading engineers or engineering teams.

• Recent hands-on technical involvement within the last 1–2 years, such as contributing to production code, reviewing pull requests, designing implementations, creating architecture plans, or directly troubleshooting and fixing software defects.
• Given the hands-on nature of this role, candidates will complete a coding assessment as part of the interview process to evaluate their current technical proficiency.

• Current hands-on experience with native Android development using Kotlin and modern Android development practices.

• Experience with AOSP, customized Android ROMs, rooted or kiosk-mode Android devices, APK distribution, or Android OS upgrade programs.

• Experience with Android device-platform development beyond traditional consumer mobile applications.

• Experience with Java in addition to Kotlin.

• Experience with JavaScript or TypeScript and React-based front-end development.

• Experience building software for connected, managed, or remotely deployed devices, with an understanding of the operational challenges associated with physical device fleets.

• Experience leading engineers across multiple concurrent products, workstreams, or technical domains.

• Experience managing and developing engineers, including hiring, performance management, coaching, and career development.

• Strong understanding of the constraints associated with deployed devices, including limited memory, storage, or processing power; intermittent connectivity; remote software updates; and supporting multiple hardware or OS generations.

• Experience supporting remotely deployed device fleets, including considerations such as staged releases, monitoring fleet health, remote troubleshooting, and software update or rollback strategies.

• Experience with backend technologies supporting device fleets, such as Kotlin/JVM services, Node.js, serverless architectures, or similar microservice environments.

• Hands-on use of AI-assisted development tools such as GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Claude, or similar tools, along with experience encouraging or driving their adoption within an engineering team.

• Working knowledge of cloud-based services and APIs that support connected-device applications.

• Experience managing blended teams of full-time employees and contractors.

Desired Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in computer science, engineering, information systems, or a related field, or equivalent professional experience.

• Experience with BrightSign or other digital signage/device-management platforms such as SignageOS or Broadsign.

• Experience with IoT technologies and protocols such as AWS IoT Core, MQTT, Device Shadow, BLE, or GATT.

• Experience with Jetpack Compose.

• Experience contributing to an architecture review process such as ARB, RFCs, or an equivalent technical-governance model.

• Experience operating in a product-operating-model or product-trio structure.

• Experience guiding…
