> AI agents: this is one page of Nextmove’s FDE site, in Markdown. Nextmove is a job board and free career service for forward deployed engineers (FDEs). Each posting is classified from its text, not its title: the kind of work, how much of it is production code, pre-sales weight, time at customer sites, travel, remote arrangement, level and posted base pay. The site also publishes the aggregates: median pay by level, metro, company and kind of work, and which companies started hiring FDEs each week. Every page under https://nextmove.md/fde is served this way; the index of pages is https://nextmove.md/llms.txt. # Forward Deployed Engineer Canonical URL: https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/984a22f8e99aa3cc Assort Health posts a FDE role to build what the customer runs in San Francisco, CA, at $155,000–$210,000 base.

You wait on hold, explain everything from scratch, get bounced between lines, and hope someone follows up. Everyone has felt this. No one should have to. At Assort Health, we're building one continuous conversation for every patient. An AI agent that knows who you are, remembers how you like to be reached, and carries that context from your first symptom to your full recovery. What began as the first voice AI agent to schedule a specialty appointment has become the largest proprietary specialty dataset in healthcare: 345 million patient interactions, 62,000 care protocols, 1.6 million decision pathways. We went from 15 people in 2025 and will cross 250 by the end of 2026. Revenue is up 20x in 15 months and we've raised $222 million, including a recent $120 million Series C at a $1.2 billion valuation from investors including Menlo Ventures and Lightspeed. We've also been named to the Forbes Cloud 100 and the 2026 Enterprise Tech 30 as the only healthcare AI company on the list! Healthcare spends $1.1 trillion a year on administration instead of care. If you want to help change that, apply below. ### About The Role We're hiring Forward Deployed Engineers to own customer deployments from technical build through go-live and optimization. You'll be the technical owner for health system implementations, working directly with customers to build, configure, and deploy production AI agents tailored to their workflows. You'll work closely with Agent Product Managers who own the customer relationship and project plan, while you own the technical execution—building integrations, creating custom workflows, and ensuring successful launches. ### What You'll Do You'll be the technical force behind bringing AI agents to life for healthcare organizations. This isn't a typical engineering role—you'll work at the intersection of cutting-edge AI, complex healthcare systems, and real customer impact. ### Ship Production AI Agents - Own implementations end-to-end for health systems, from technical scoping through go-live and beyond - Build custom integrations with complex healthcare platforms - Design intelligent workflows tailored to each customer's specialty, patient population, and operational constraints - Launch agents that handle thousands of real patient interactions daily ### Solve Hard Technical Problems - Debug gnarly integration issues across phone systems, EHRs, scheduling platforms, and patient engagement tools - Architect creative solutions to handle healthcare's complexity—insurance verification, appointment rules, clinical protocols - Build tooling and automation that makes every future implementation faster and better - Optimize agent performance in production using real-world data and customer feedback ### Shape the Product - Partner directly with Product Engineering to influence platform direction based on what you learn in the field - Identify patterns across implementations that become product features - Work with Sales to scope technical requirements and demo capabilities to prospects - Be the voice of the customer—you'll see what works, what doesn't, and what customers actually need ### What We're Looking For ### Required - Strong software engineering background with a track record of shipping production code - Proficiency in Python - Experience with APIs, integrations, and working across multiple systems - Comfortable with ambiguity and building in fast-paced, high-stakes environments - Excellent communication skills—you can explain technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders - Scrappy, resourceful mindset—you find ways to solve problems even when the path isn't clear - Passion for healthcare and improving patient access ### Nice to Have - Experience with healthcare systems (EHR, practice management, patient engagement platforms) - Previous work in customer-facing engineering, solutions engineering, or implementation roles - Familiarity with voice/telephony systems (Twilio, etc.) - Background in AI/LLM applications - Experience working with enterprise customers ### Benefits & Perks for Assorties - **💸 Competitive Compensation** – Including salary *and* employee stock options so you share in our success. - **📚 Lifelong Learning** – Annual budget for professional development, plus training opportunities to help you grow. - **💻 Office Setup Stipend** – We’ll outfit your in-office workspace so comfy as it's productive. - **🩺 Top-Tier Health Coverage** – Medical, dental, and vision insurance, because your health comes first. - **🏖 Flexible PTO** – We trust you to take the time you need to recharge and come back ready to crush it. - **🥗 Meals & Snacks** – Lunch, dinner, and snack breaks that fuel great ideas. - **💪 Fitness Stipend** – Your wellness matters. We reimburse monthly membership costs to support your health. - 🚆 **Commuter Benefits** – We cover eligible transportation costs to make your trip to work easier. - **👵 401(k)** – Build your retirement savings. ### How We Work & What We Value Our team at Assort Health moves fast, stays focused, and is fueled by a desire to serve our customers and patients.
