Full Job Description

đź“‹ Description

  • • We're an early-stage healthtech AI startup building a payer intelligence platform that streamlines the end-to-end payor compliance lifecycle — benefits verification, medical necessity audits, prior authorization, and appeals — for procedure-heavy specialties like Vascular Surgery, Interventional Cardiology, and Interventional Radiology.
  • • As a Forward Deployed Engineer, you'll own the integration layer between our platform and the real-world provider and insurance systems it serves.
  • • You'll translate messy healthcare workflows into clean technical solutions — building APIs, scrapers, and custom integrations that make our product fit seamlessly into each practice's stack.
  • • This is a high-ownership role where you'll ship fast, develop deep knowledge of the US healthcare landscape, and directly impact how surgical practices operate day to day.
  • • You'll build and maintain integrations with provider practices and insurance systems — using APIs where they exist, scrapers and RPA where they don't.
  • • You'll join client discovery sessions with founders to map real-world workflows and translate them into clear technical requirements.
  • • You'll ship custom integrations quickly and iterate based on real-world feedback.
  • • You'll contribute to the core product when integration work isn't the bottleneck.
  • • You'll develop a deep working knowledge of the US provider/payer landscape.

🎯 Requirements

  • • 2–5 years of full-stack engineering experience building and shipping features end-to-end — from discovery through delivery.
  • • Startup background with broad ownership, comfort with ambiguity, and a track record of shipping in small teams.
  • • Proven experience integrating with third-party APIs.
  • • Proficiency in Python and FastAPI (or equivalent backend frameworks).
  • • Proficiency in React and TypeScript (or equivalent frontend technologies).
  • • Active use of AI coding tools (e.g. Claude Code, Cursor, or similar) with shipped production work to show for it.
  • • Strong communication skills — able to clearly articulate technical problems and tradeoffs to non-technical stakeholders.

🏖️ Benefits

  • • Salary: $150,000 – $230,000 USD annually, depending on experience.
  • • Early-stage equity.
  • • Full-time position.
