<p><span data-contrast="auto">As Director of Engineering, 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.</span><span data-ccp-props="{"335559739":200}"> </span></p>

<p><span data-contrast="auto">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.</span><span data-ccp-props="{"335559739":200}"> </span></p>

<p><span data-contrast="auto">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 make credible architecture calls — across Android (including custom Android ROM), AWS (IoT Core, Lambda, Bedrock AgentCore), and JavaScript/React front-ends — alongside staff engineers and PatientPoint’s Architecture Review Board.</span><span data-ccp-props="{"335559739":200}"> </span></p>
