Job Description

Principal Service Engineers ensure caregivers have a fast, reliable, and frustration-free digital experience by owning and operating our Digital Employee Experience (DEX) platform, powered by Nexthink. In this role, you'll partner with endpoint engineering, service desk, and application teams to design, scale, and run Nexthink as a core enterprise service-turning endpoint telemetry into actionable insights, automation, and measurable outcomes. You'll own the full service lifecycle, from platform architecture and experience scoring to proactive alerting, self-healing workflows, executive reporting, and cost optimization, all while advancing the organization from reactive support to experience-driven operations.

When issues arise, you're the calm technical leader who uses real-time endpoint data to quickly identify root cause, restore service, and ensure the fix sticks through durable automation and improved monitoring. As a principal engineer, you'll set technical standards, mentor other engineers, and shape the DEX roadmap-defining what "good" looks like for endpoint experience and translating complex data into business-level impact. If you thrive at the intersection of endpoint engineering, automation at scale, and caregiver experience, this role was built for you.
