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.

• 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.
