Forward Deployed Engineer

ABOUT THE ROLE

A fast-moving, early-stage healthtech company is looking for a Forward Deployed Engineer to join their small, high-output team in Miami, FL. This company builds an integrated SaaS platform that helps healthcare groups — including urgent cares and emergency departments — automate and optimize staffing operations: payroll, scheduling, credentialing, performance tracking, and AI-powered clinical documentation.

In this role, you'll be customer-facing from day one, translating clinical and operational needs into shipped software. You'll work closely with customers on-site, travel frequently, and contribute across the full stack. New grads and early-career engineers (0–1 year of experience) are strongly encouraged to apply.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Build and ship front-end and back-end features using TypeScript, React, Deno, Node.js, and SQL.
• Collaborate directly with customers — clinical teams, medical directors, and operational staff — to gather requirements and iterate on solutions.
• Deploy, operate, and troubleshoot production services on AWS.
• Travel frequently for on-site customer engagements and deployments.
• Contribute to product design and rapid prototyping; move ideas to shipped, reliable code quickly.
• Be a true generalist — step up wherever the team needs you.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

Required:

• 0–1 years of professional software development experience (new grads welcome).
• Proficiency in full-stack TypeScript — comfortable on both the frontend (React) and backend (Node.js / Deno).
• Working knowledge of SQL and cloud infrastructure (AWS).
• Strong written and verbal communication skills for customer-facing engineering work.
• Willingness to be based in Miami, FL (relocation from anywhere in the US is welcome).
• Willingness to travel frequently for customer engagements.
• Must be eligible to work in the US — visa sponsorship is not available.

Nice to Have

• Experience working in or alongside healthcare, clinical, or operational teams.
• Comfort operating in ambiguous, fast-paced early-stage environments.
• High emotional maturity and a collaborative, low-ego working style.

COMPENSATION & BENEFITS

• Base salary: $70,000–$80,000 (slightly negotiable), with total compensation target of $120,000–$150,000.
• Total comp includes equity, covered travel expenses, and housing and transportation coverage during customer engagements.
• Opportunity to grow with an early-stage team and take on significant ownership quickly.

LOCATION

This is a full-time, on-site role based in Miami, FL. Candidates relocating from elsewhere in the US are welcome. The role involves frequent travel to customer sites across the US.
