How you will help
Accelerate customer and partner needs into clear, reliable, and scalable data and AI solutions, while strengthening HealthVerity’s engineering framework through real-world application and feedback.
As a Forward-Deployed Engineer at HealthVerity, you will embed with customers and cross-functional teams to rapidly translate complex business problems into well-designed data flows, AI-enabled capabilities, and production-ready systems. You will help turn fragmented or bespoke customer requirements into smooth, repeatable data processes that align with our platform strategy.
Through hands-on delivery, you will also advance HealthVerity’s engineering and AI frameworks; validating patterns, surfacing gaps, and shaping standards that make it easier for teams to build, deploy, and operate intelligent data products at scale.
What you will do
- Lead technical discovery engagements with customers or internal partners to deeply understand business workflows, constraints, data realities, and success criteria.
- Rapidly prototype and iterate on pragmatic solutions; often using AI/ML, data pipelines, and backend services to validate value early and reduce delivery risk.
- Design and deliver production ready systems, including APIs, data pipelines, ML workflows, and cloud-native services, aligned with HealthVerity’s architecture and security standards.
- Own deployments and scaling efforts, troubleshooting complex issues across data, infrastructure, and application layers in real customer environments.
- Translate field learnings into leverage, feeding actionable insights back into product strategy, platform roadmap decisions, and reusable engineering patterns.
How success will be defined
- Successfully deliver multiple high-impact customer or partner engagements, translating ambiguous business needs into production-ready technical solutions.
- Drive adoption and demonstrated the value of HealthVerity platform capabilities within real customer environments.
- Build strong, trusted relationships with customers and internal stakeholders, reflected in consistently positive feedback on technical delivery and collaboration.
- Influence product and platform direction by bringing concrete, field-driven insights into roadmap, architecture, and prioritization discussions.
- Leave behind durable, maintainable solutions and reusable patterns that scale beyond individual engagements.
Required skills and experience
- 8+ years of software engineering experience, delivering production systems in Python, and/or JavaScript/TypeScript.
- Experience building data-intensive, distributed systems, including APIs, data pipelines, and cloud-native services (AWS or similar).
- Demonstrated experience owning and productionizing AI/ML solutions—taking them beyond experimentation into reliable, monitored workflows and systems
- Strong ability to operate in ambiguous, customer-driven problem spaces and make sound technical decisions.
- Clear communicator with the ability to work effectively across engineering, product, and customer teams.
Desired skills and experience
- Experience working in regulated or compliance-driven environments (e.g., healthcare, life sciences, financial services).
- Background in customer-facing or domain-embedded engineering roles (e.g., forward-deployed, solutions, or consulting).
- Familiarity with modern data platforms and analytical workloads (e.g., Databricks, Spark, Snowflake).
- Experience influencing product or platform direction through real-world delivery or field-driven insights.
Base salary for the role is commensurate with experience and can range between $170,000 - 220,000 + annual bonus opportunity.
