About the role

As a Design Engineer at Forus, you will own how our product and public surfaces look, feel, and perform. You think like a designer and build like an engineer, turning ambitious ideas into shipped, high-craft experiences.

What they're looking for

  • 5+ years of experience spanning both design and front-end engineering, with a track record of clearly operating in both worlds
  • Strong, demonstrable front-end skills: React/TypeScript, modern HTML and CSS, WebGL with an eye for interaction and a bias for elegant code
  • Experience building or significantly evolving a design system or component library at a product company
  • A strong eye for visual and interaction design and a portfolio to show it
  • Comfort building on a CMS (Sanity preferred), running web experiments, and managing web analytics
  • Track record of moving quickly, finding shortcuts, and going to unreasonable lengths to deliver on goals
More about this role

Forus is building an AI-powered network that connects doctors, pharmacies, payers, and biopharma to accelerate new science to patients.

Our platform automates the complexity between a doctor prescribing a medicine and a patient starting treatment, including insurance coverage, financial assistance, and supply chain navigation. We provide this support free to doctors and patients, helping them get life-changing medicine faster, cheaper, and easier. The resulting network enables biopharma companies to design better research, launch new drugs more effectively, and invest in harder-to-treat conditions.

Forus has exceptional product-market fit and is growing rapidly through organic adoption:

Accelerating scale: We already support patients across more than 85% of ZIP codes and partner with 9 of top 15 largest biopharma companies in the world.

AI-native, durable model: Our business becomes stronger as AI improves, as every new doctor, patient, and partner makes the network more valuable.

Backing to build for the long term: We raised $300M+ from leading investors to build an exceptional team and unlock the full scale of the opportunity.

Our number one priority is scaling to market demand....
