About the role
As a Software Engineer, Developer Productivity at Forus, you will own the systems that determine how fast our entire engineering team ships. Velocity is one of Forus' core advantages, and this role exists to compound it. You will own the CI/CD, operational workflows, build systems, and development environments that every engineer depends on, and the infrastructure that lets us build with AI coding agents rather than around them.
What they're looking for
- Experience building developer tooling, internal platforms, or CI/CD and development-environment infrastructure that other engineers depend on
- Strong systems and infrastructure instincts – you write production code, live in your terminal, and instinctively build reusable tools, strong Python and Bash/Unix skills
- Gone deep on modern agentic development yourself (Claude Code, Codex, or similar) and want to productize that leverage for a team, you do not need prior experience building AI systems, but curiosity and evidence of shipping matter
- Demonstrated ability to drive adoption and change how a team works, not just hand over a tool
- Ability to go from an ambiguous problem to a clear, structured, shipped solution with minimal guidance
- 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....
