Forward Deployed Engineer | AI Healthcare Startup | Series B | $12.5 million | $50M ARR

About the Company

This fast-growing
AI healthcare startup
is building something ambitious:

An
AI “employee” that runs the back office for home care agencies
.

From scheduling and payroll to compliance and coordination, their product replaces manual operations with autonomous systems — freeing up caregivers to focus on what actually matters: patients.

The mission is bold and deeply human:

*Move healthcare into the home — and solve healthcare for an aging population.*

- 400+
home care agencies already using the platform
- Partnerships with leading EMR providers
- $12.5M raised from top-tier investors (Bessemer Venture Partners and other top VCs)
- Team built from early engineers at
Ramp
,
Datadog, Uber,
and other category-defining companies
- 20 people today, scaling rapidly

They’re on track to hit
$50M ARR
, and this is still early!

Why This Role Is Different

This isn’t a typical engineering role.

As a
Forward Deployed Engineer
, you are the product.

You’ll be on the frontlines — working directly with customers, deploying AI systems in real-world environments, and seeing immediate impact.

  • Every enterprise deal starts with you
  • Your deployments turn into six-figure contracts
  • Your insights shape the product roadmap in real time

If you want ownership, speed, and visible impact — this is it.

The Opportunity

The problem space is massive:

  • $300B+ allocated annually to home-based care (Medicaid, Medicare, VA, private insurers)
  • 14M Americans eligible — only ~8M receiving care
  • $84B spent on manual admin work coordinating care

This company is closing that gap by replacing coordination with
AI agents
.

What You’ll Do

  • Travel to customer sites and deploy AI agents end-to-end — from integration to go-live
  • Embed with teams (schedulers, coordinators, office staff) to understand real workflows quickly
  • Build browser-based automations and integrations, even where no APIs exist
  • Ship product improvements directly from field observations (high velocity expected)
  • Present deployment outcomes to customer leadership and support expansion opportunities
  • Own the full lifecycle of a deployment: data extraction, configuration, QA, monitoring, and support

What They’re Looking For

- 0 - 3 years
of experience as a software engineer or forward deployed engineer (internships included).
- Engineers who have
shipped software to production
that has been used by
real people
- Strong SQL and comfort exploring messy data in spreadsheets or data lakes.
- Has operated in a high-agency environment where they owned meaningful scope
(VC-backed startups
or well-known AI companies strongly preferred).
- Graduated from a top school in Computer SCience or related field
- Willing to travel
30-50%
and work from NYC office.

Who This Is Perfect For

  • Engineers who want to move beyond purely backend or frontend roles
  • Startup-minded builders or former founders
  • Individuals who enjoy working closely with customers
  • People who want to see immediate, tangible impact from their work
