Forward Deployed Engineer

About the Role

This is a high-ownership engineering role at an early-stage healthtech AI company building a payer intelligence platform for procedure-heavy specialties like Vascular Surgery, Interventional Cardiology, and Interventional Radiology. You'll sit at the intersection of product and client, owning the integration layer between the platform and the real-world provider and insurance systems it serves. Your work will directly shape how surgical practices operate day-to-day.

What You'll Do

• Build and maintain integrations with provider practices and insurance systems using APIs, scrapers, and RPA where needed.

• Join client discovery sessions with the founding team to map workflows and translate them into clear technical requirements.

• Ship custom integrations quickly and iterate based on real-world feedback from live deployments.

• Contribute to core product development when integration work isn't the primary bottleneck.

• Develop deep working knowledge of the US provider/payer landscape over time.

What We're Looking For

• 2–5 years of full-stack engineering experience building and shipping production features end-to-end.

• Startup background with broad ownership across discovery, development, and delivery in small teams.

• Proven experience integrating with third-party APIs.

• Proficiency in Python and FastAPI (or equivalent backend frameworks) and React + TypeScript (or equivalent frontend).

• Active daily use of AI coding tools (e.g. Claude Code, Cursor, or similar) with shipped production work to show for it.

• Strong communication skills — comfortable articulating technical tradeoffs to non-technical stakeholders.

• Strong pluses: experience with web scrapers or RPA, US healthcare or provider/payer systems background, AWS or GCP infrastructure, and production LLM application development.
