About this role
What we're looking for:
We need a full-stack engineer with 3–10 years of experience shipping production-grade software who thrives at the intersection of engineering, product thinking, and client engagement. You should be comfortable navigating ambiguity, working directly with healthcare executives, and owning outcomes end-to-end — from architecting scalable solutions to deploying them in complex enterprise environments. Bonus points if you have prior FDE experience (especially in healthcare), a non-traditional background that demonstrates grit, or entrepreneurial ventures that show initiative and ownership.
What you'll do:
Serve as the acting technical lead on high-impact healthcare AI deployments, paired with another FDE, architecting and shipping production solutions used by thousands of clinicians
Take ownership of activated revenue outcomes — accelerating contract timelines, identifying expansion opportunities, and driving products from 0→1→10→100
Work directly with executives at billion-dollar health systems as a "field CTO, " translating unstructured clinical and business problems into technical products
Build full-stack applications (Python/FastAPI backend, React frontend) that integrate with EHR systems and process messy, non-standard healthcare data
Rotate through engineering pods to gain platform-wide context, then lead deployments in specific customer segments or problem spaces
Integrate field learnings back into core product — ensuring solutions built for individual clients become scalable platform capabilities rather than isolated one-offs
Travel up to 35% domestically to client sites for 1–2 day on-site visits during active deployment phases, building product intuition and stakeholder relationships
What happens next
Skip the application pile. I get you in front of the people who decide.
Confirm the fit
A few questions to make sure this role is the right shape for you. Two minutes.
I pitch you to the company
I write the intro, send it to the founder, and handle the back-and-forth.
A meeting lands on your calendar
When the company wants to meet, I get the call on your calendar. You just show up.
