About The Position

Omada Health is seeking a Senior Forward Deployed AI Engineer to join their IT department. This role is a senior individual contributor responsible for building and expanding Omada's MCP ecosystem. The engineer will connect SaaS tools and internal systems, write skills, compose tool bundles, and deploy them to relevant teams. This position acts as a liaison between AI capabilities and the practical needs of Omada's teams, working directly with department champions to understand workflows, identify AI-driven automation opportunities, and implement these solutions. The role is part of a small, high-impact team focused on business process and agentic/AI-driven automation, reporting to the Senior Manager, IT Automation. The engineer will utilize Omada's MCP control plane as a platform for rapid and safe integration development, with a strong emphasis on security and governance from the outset. Documentation and knowledge sharing are key components to ensure the broader IT organization understands and can leverage emergent AI technology.

Requirements

Hands-on experience building with MCP; configuring or authoring MCP servers, connecting tools, writing skills, and working with agentic frameworks.
Strong SaaS API integration experience: REST, webhooks, OAuth, and the practical realities of connecting enterprise applications reliably.
Understanding of ABAC, access control, and governance principles for AI/LLM deployments, including how to apply least-privilege in practice.
Expertise working directly with non-technical stakeholders, understanding their needs, translating them into technical solutions, and maintaining the relationship through iteration.
Demonstrated track record of driving tool adoption, developer enablement, or similar change; not just building things, but getting people to use them.
Ability to write and maintain integration code (Python or similar). Comfortable authoring and debugging scripts, not just configuring UIs.
7+ years of experience in a systems integration, developer enablement, internal tooling, or closely related role.
Strong communication skills; able to explain technical decisions and trade-offs clearly to audiences ranging from engineers to business leaders.
Strong ability to get abstract or specific with stakeholders. Can whiteboard data flows, think creatively on the fly.
Comfortable operating with high autonomy in a fast-paced environment while managing multiple concurrent integration projects.

Nice To Haves

Experience working in healthcare or another HIPAA-regulated environment and familiarity with the data handling expectations that come with it.
Experience running AI adoption programs, internal developer advocacy, or technology change management initiatives.
Familiarity with AI governance and MCP management platforms.
Experience with adjacent automation tools such as Tines, n8n, or iPaaS platforms, especially building workflows that complement MCP-based integrations.
Familiarity with identity and access management concepts (SSO, SAML/OIDC, SCIM) as they apply to enterprise SaaS integrations.

Responsibilities

Serve as the primary point of contact for department champions across Omada, working with them to understand their day-to-day workflows and identify where AI-assisted automation creates real leverage.
Drive AI adoption across the company by deploying tool bundles that are actually useful, making sure integrations fit how teams work rather than asking teams to adapt to what's technically convenient.
Run a continuous feedback loop: gather usage signals and qualitative input from champions, identify what's working and what's falling flat, and iterate accordingly.
Build lightweight documentation, reference examples, and enablement materials that help non-technical stakeholders understand what's possible and how to request new capabilities.
Represent the needs of end users and champions when making integration decisions; you are their voice in the build process.
Integrate SaaS and internal applications with Omada's MCP ecosystem by building and configuring MCP servers, adding tools, and handling authentication patterns including OAuth and webhooks.
Write skills that expose the right actions and data to AI agents in a clear, composable way.
Compose skills and tools into role-appropriate bundles, scoped to what each team and function actually needs, not everything at once.
Deploy tool bundles to ABAC groups, managing access so the right people get the right capabilities without overprovisioning.
Partner with the Senior IT Engineers, Automation on integrations that span MCP and workflow automation, ensuring handoffs and shared patterns are consistent.
Participate in design reviews for new MCP integrations to catch potential issues early and keep the ecosystem coherent.
Teach and mentor IT team members as you go. Be the SMEs that help us understand and internalize this tech.
Build MCP servers and skills that follow least-privilege principles from day one, scoping access to what an integration actually needs, and nothing more.
Contribute to Omada's standards and policies for MCP server onboarding, skill review, and access governance, as a practitioner who cares about getting it right, not as a compliance gatekeeper.
Ensure integrations handle data appropriately given Omada's health data environment. Understand what data flows where, flag concerns early, and work with Security and Compliance when review is warranted.
Maintain audit-friendly integration configurations so that security and compliance teams have the visibility they need without heroic effort on their part.
Collaborate with Security on risk assessment for high-sensitivity integrations, and translate security requirements into practical implementation decisions.
Maintain a working knowledge of the MCP control plane configuration and capabilities so you can ship integrations efficiently and troubleshoot confidently.
Identify gaps in the current integration library and propose a prioritized roadmap for new MCP servers and skills, informed by champion feedback and team-level demand.
Contribute to reusable patterns, shared templates, and internal documentation that raise the quality bar for everyone building on the platform.
Stay current on the MCP ecosystem, agentic frameworks, and adjacent tooling. Bring relevant innovations back to the team.
