About the Role

We are hiring a Senior Technical Support Engineer to support a complex production application environment focused on care delivery workflows. This is a hands-on troubleshooting role for someone who enjoys diagnosing real system problems — not a developer stop-gap role.

The ideal candidate is a career technical support professional who takes ownership of issues and thrives in a high-impact operational environment.

What You’ll Do

• Reproduce and diagnose complex production issues
• Read and interpret object-oriented backend code
• Execute advanced SQL queries to validate system behavior
• Identify root cause and resolve issues when possible
• Escalate bugs to engineering with clear technical documentation
• Support ongoing operational stability of the platform
• Work within ticketing systems to manage incidents

Required Qualifications

Technical

• Strong object-oriented programming background in Java, Go, or Python (must be strong in at least one)
• Advanced SQL querying skills
• Application-level troubleshooting experience
• Ability to read and debug code (not just run scripts)
• Experience working within ticketing/incident systems

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience as a Senior/Staff/Principal Technical Support Engineer
• Python scripting or automation experience
• Exposure to AI workflow optimization
• Healthcare or life sciences industry experience (nice to have)

Ideal Candidate Profile

• Senior application support engineer (career support track)
• Comfortable reading production code daily
• Strong ownership mindset — drives problems to resolution
• Not a developer seeking a temporary role
• Enjoys deep troubleshooting and operational stability work

Additional Details

• 6-month contract to hire

• Immediate start preferred

You went to law school because someone told you a technical degree plus a JD was a golden ticket.

They weren't wrong. But three years in, you're starting to wonder if this is what they meant.

You're either stuck in prosecution — drafting office actions at 11pm on the same narrow patent family you inherited as a first year — or you're in litigation, buried in document review, never touching the actual technology.

Most AmLaw firms make you pick a lane. Prosecution or litigation. One or the other.

This isn't that.

A top-tier AmLaw firm with one of the most recognized IP practices in the country is hiring a mid-level patent associate in Boston who can work across both patent prosecution and litigation. That combination is rare at this level — and it's what makes this seat different from every other patent posting you've scrolled past.

The work spans:

• Patent prosecution across AI, software, hardware, semiconductor, and communications technologies
• Patent litigation including ITC proceedings, district court, and PTAB
• Client counseling on portfolio strategy, freedom-to-operate, and competitive intelligence
• Due diligence on IP-heavy M&A transactions

This is a dedicated IP platform in Boston — not a satellite office where patent work gets farmed out from headquarters. The team handles matters for major technology and life sciences clients from origination through resolution.

What you bring:

• 2-5 years of patent experience (prosecution, litigation, or both)
• Technical degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, or computer science
• USPTO registration
• Massachusetts bar or eligibility to obtain

What you get:

• The rare chance to build expertise across both prosecution and litigation at a single firm
• A practice where your technical background isn't just a credential — it's what makes you valuable in the room
• Top market salary + bonus
