Forward-Deployed Engineer

Bask Health

About The Position

As a Senior Forward-Deployed Engineer at Bask, you will work directly with the CEO and CTO to build and design software infrastructure that serves as the backbone of telehealth. The role includes helping lead frontend migrations, performance work, and production AI builds. Bask is seeking entrepreneurial software engineers who take end-to-end ownership and care about improving healthcare delivery. Success means shipping production code in customer environments, enabling customer teams to extend it independently, and building broader partnerships with each account. Bask’s serverless platform is a multi-tenant monorepo using Next.js and React on the frontend, tRPC and Prisma on the backend, SST for deployment, and TypeScript throughout. Engineering is AI-first and builder-led: engineers use tools such as Claude and Cursor to investigate problems, plan and build solutions, test on staging with realistic data, release to production, and validate with patients and care teams. AI is a default part of the workflow, with engineers applying their own judgment to meet healthcare’s quality demands. The role calls for a collaborative, full-stack generalist who has taken a product from 0 to 1 and can bring that instinct to a system already serving real patients. The engineer will own key product surfaces and projects end to end, work across the stack without team handoffs, prototype and validate with real users, build reusable systems, and help make AI and automation transparent and trustworthy. They will also champion performance, accessibility, and reliability and share effective AI-native workflows with the team.
