Job Description
• As a Forward Deployed Engineer at Ascertain, you sit at the intersection of product, engineering, and real-world customer operations.
• Your job is to understand that reality and help shape Ascertain’s product so it works in practice, not just in theory.
• You’ll work closely with customers to translate their workflows and edge cases into production-grade solutions by integrating systems, extending workflows, and building features.
• Just as importantly, you’ll identify patterns and feed them back into the core product so we solve problems once and scale.
• This is a founding Forward Deployed Engineer role where you’ll help define the playbook with clear opportunities to grow into pod leadership.
Job Requirements
- Strong communication skills and experience in a customer-facing role.
- Several years of experience as a software engineer, with a track record of shipping production systems and owning work from ambiguous problem definition through delivery.
- 4+ years of experience in full stack development using Python, FastAPI, and TypeScript.
- Strong programming skills with experience building or integrating with external APIs, third-party systems, or imperfect data sources.
- Comfort working at the intersection of product, engineering, and customers — including translating real-world needs into scalable technical solutions.
- Proven ability to manage complexity and context-switch across multiple workstreams without losing momentum or detail.
Benefits
- Meaningful work: Your work will directly impact healthcare organizations by reducing administrative burden and improving how care teams operate day to day.
- Ownership and growth: You’ll join Ascertain at an early stage, with meaningful equity and the opportunity to shape our product, technical direction, and how this function evolves over time.
- Competitive compensation: We offer a competitive salary, meaningful equity, comprehensive health benefits, and other standard benefits appropriate for a growing company.
- Flexible work model: This role is remote-friendly. For NYC-based team members, we support a hybrid model with regular in-office collaboration. We trust people to manage their time and work like adults.
- Collaborative team: You’ll work alongside a thoughtful, mission-driven team with backgrounds spanning healthcare operations, product, and engineering.
