Forus automates prior authorizations and medication access, helping providers get patients approved, find affordable options, and start treatment faster. Backed by Accel, General Catalyst and Redpoint.
About the role
As a Software Engineer, Platform & Infrastructure at Forus, you will own the compute and data foundations the entire company runs on. You will own our EKS platform, data layer, cloud reliability, and infrastructure economics. You will make architecture decisions that compound for years: how services run and communicate, how data stores scale, what product teams can self-serve, and where we simplify or migrate before complexity becomes a constraint.
What they're looking for
- Experience operating production Kubernetes at meaningful scale, including networking, autoscaling, and cluster reliability
- Deep AWS expertise (EKS, VPC, IAM boundaries) and strong infrastructure-as-code with Terraform, you build platforms and reusable primitives rather than one-off resources
- Run a real, low-downtime database migration and operated a relational store like Postgres under production load, with the ability to reason from a query plan to a capacity plan
- Strong instincts for reducing complexity - you are drawn to consolidating and simplifying systems rather than adding surface area
- Comfort operating in a regulated, high-stakes environment, familiarity with PHI, HIPAA, and/or SOC 2 is a strong plus, as is a track record of mastering a new domain quickly
- 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....
