About the role
As an Engineering Manager at Forus, you will lead a team that owns a core part of the infrastructure between scientific innovation and patient care. This is a technical player-coach role: you will write code, review designs, make architecture calls, and take on hard technical problems alongside your team, while also owning who is on the team, how they develop, the quality and pace of what they build, and ultimately whether their work moves the business.
What they're looking for
- 6+ years building software, with a track record of shipping products that real users depend on
- 2+ years leading engineers, with clear accountability for both team output and the growth and performance of the people on it
- Full-stack range. You have built and operated the backend systems and the interfaces on top of them, and you can make credible calls across the whole stack
- A real hiring track record. You have recruited strong engineers who joined in part because you were the one selling the role
- The ability to go from an ambiguous business problem to a clear, structured, shipped solution
- A 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....
