Forward Deployed Engineer

Astrana Health • Alhambra, CA

38d • $100,000 - $125,000 • Hybrid

About The Position

Astrana is building a small, high-impact team of engineers whose job is simple: find meaningful problems across the organization and use technology to solve them. Sometimes that means deploying existing tools more effectively. More often it means sitting with the people who run our markets, understanding how the work actually gets done, and building entirely new tools, automations, and applications that do not exist yet. We are not looking for pedigree. We are looking for builders. People who are naturally curious, love experimenting with new technologies, and get energized by solving hard, messy problems. The right person for this role is someone who is a little obsessed with learning and building — the type who goes down rabbit holes late at night because they genuinely want to understand how something works or how it could be better. You will work directly alongside operators, clinicians, and business leaders to explore problems, prototype solutions quickly, and turn ideas into real tools that improve how we work and deliver care. What you build will not sit in a staging environment. It will be used by the people sitting next to you, the week you ship it. Our Values: Put Patients First Empower Entrepreneurial Provider and Care Teams Operate with Integrity & Excellence Be Innovative Work As One Team

Requirements

• You experiment with new technologies on your own time
• You have built things just because you wanted to see if they could work
• You like solving problems that do not have obvious answers
• You are energized by being in the room where decisions get made, not just where code getswritten
• You want your work to matter to real people

Responsibilities

• Embed directly with clinical, operations, and market teams to understand how the business works from the inside
• Run discovery with business leaders to find the problems worth solving — the ones costing time, money, or quality of care
• Rapidly prototype and build tools, automations, and applications that teams can use immediately
• Experiment constantly with new technologies, models, and platforms as they emerge
• Translate what is technically possible into something a care coordinator can open on Monday morning and immediately use
• Teach the teams you work with so what you build outlasts your involvement
• Help shape how technology is responsibly adopted across a growing organization
