Role summary

Paratus Health is seeking a Forward Deployed Engineer to integrate their AI-powered voice agents into outpatient clinics. This role involves configuring, deploying, and optimizing AI voice agents, working directly with healthcare customers to understand workflows and translate them into production systems. The ideal candidate has 1+ years of startup experience, hands-on experience with conversational AI, and proficiency in TypeScript, Node.js, and AWS. Experience with EHRs or HIPAA is a plus. This hybrid role offers high ownership and immediate impact in a fast-paced environment.

Paratus Health is building the AI-powered operations layer for outpatient clinics—voice agents that handle calls, intake, insurance, and documentation, deeply integrated with EHRs like Epic and Athena.

We’re backed by Y Combinator and investors behind GitHub and Notion. We’re already live in hospitals (including Palomar Health)!

> If you’ve worked with voice agents and are comfortable being customer-facing, we want to talk ASAP.

* Have 1+ years of experience at fast-moving startups

* Thrive in ambiguity and like solving real-world problems live

Bonus: healthcare, EHR, or HIPAA-adjacent experience
