## About the role

We're hiring our first Forward Deployed Engineer to land inside our biggest customer accounts and build what doesn't exist yet. You scope a build, ship it, get it working in production, and move to the next one. Some days, that's writing integration code against a customer's EHR. Other days, it's deploying and tuning agents to fit a specific workflow. You're the person who takes a customer's messy reality and turns it into a working system, fast.

## What they're looking for

- Strong software engineering fundamentals, comfortable owning something from design through production
- Experience writing Python (or similar), SQL, and React on the front end
- Working knowledge of REST APIs
- Experience with AWS and GCP
- Comfortable with Docker, both running things locally and deploying them
- Hands-on experience building or working with AI agents
