About the role
As a Software Engineering Intern at Forus, you will join our engineering team as an engineer, not as an observer. From your first weeks, you’ll ship production code, own meaningful technical problems, and build software that helps providers, patients, and life sciences organizations bring innovative therapies to more patients.
What they're looking for
- Strong computer science fundamentals and programming ability, currently pursuing a degree in Computer Science or a related technical field
- A track record of building things outside the classroom, whether through internships, research, startups, hackathons, open-source contributions, or side projects
- Strong product instincts. You form opinions about what is worth building and can distinguish what is valuable from what is merely possible
- The ability and willingness to work wherever the problem is, whether frontend, backend, infrastructure, AI, or something entirely new
- A track record of moving quickly, finding shortcuts, and going to unreasonable lengths to deliver on goals
- High NPS with your former teammates and classmates
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....
