About The Position

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.

Requirements

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.

Nice To Haves

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.

Responsibilities

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.
