Forward Deployed Engineer

The Forward Deployed Engineer will serve as the bridge between technology and the business. This highly cross-functional role combines software engineering, AI implementation, systems integration, product development, and operational problem solving. The engineer will work directly with clinical, laboratory, patient experience, finance, HR, operations, and executive stakeholders to identify friction, rapidly develop solutions, and deploy technology that creates measurable impact.

This is not a traditional engineering role. The ideal candidate enjoys sitting with users, understanding real workflows, building quickly, and seeing solutions drive better outcomes across clinics and corporate operations.
