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.
