Senior Forward Deployed Engineer

About the Role

This is a high-impact, full-stack engineering role at the frontier of healthcare AI, sitting at the intersection of software engineering, product thinking, and direct client engagement. You will serve as a technical lead on complex deployments with major health systems, translating messy clinical and business problems into production-grade software used by thousands of clinicians. The role is central to how the company drives real-world adoption and turns field learnings into scalable platform capabilities.

What You'll Do

• Act as the technical lead on high-impact healthcare AI deployments, architecting and shipping production solutions end-to-end.

• Own activated revenue outcomes by accelerating contract timelines, identifying expansion opportunities, and driving products from 0 to 1 to 100.

• Work directly with executives at large health systems as a field-facing technical authority, translating unstructured clinical and business problems into technical products.

• Build full-stack applications using Python/FastAPI on the backend and React on the frontend, integrating with EHR systems and handling non-standard healthcare data.

• Rotate through engineering pods to build platform-wide context, then lead deployments within specific customer segments or problem spaces.

• Feed field learnings back into the core product so solutions built for individual clients become reusable platform capabilities.

• Travel domestically up to 35% for on-site client visits during active deployment phases.

What We're Looking For

• 3 to 10+ years of experience shipping production code as a software engineer, including 0-to-1 enterprise product deployments in customer environments.

• Strong full-stack engineering foundation: proficiency in Python or Go for backend and React for frontend; not primarily front-end only, ML/infrastructure-focused, or solutions engineering.

• Experience leading technical design and architecture for production-grade healthcare software in a tech lead or architect capacity.

• Experience integrating with enterprise APIs and handling messy, non-standard data in production systems.

• Demonstrated product thinking: the ability to translate clinician and business problems into technical solutions with full end-to-end ownership.

• Experience mentoring engineers or leading cross-functional teams.

• Background at early-stage companies or startups; prior forward deployed engineering experience in healthcare is a strong plus.

• Comfort working directly with senior stakeholders and navigating ambiguity in complex enterprise environments.

• Willingness to travel domestically up to 15% per year (active deployment phases may require more).
