> 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/b4cbc34d153bbc31 Bunkerhill Health posts a FDE role to build what the customer runs in San Francisco, CA, at $200,000–$300,000 base, above the senior FDE median of $190,000 across 1,864 postings with pay.

We're hiring a founding forward deployed engineer to take us through the next 100M. Healthcare is messy. The distance between a good clinical idea and a working system is enormous, and most of that distance is unglamorous: legacy system integrations that fight back, FHIR resources that arrive malformed from production endpoints, edge cases that change what happens to a patient. The rest is frontier AI work, where there's nothing to copy because nobody has built it yet. ### As our first FDE, a typical week looks like - **Stakeholder meetings.** Physicians, hospital IT, clinical and operational champions. Anyone with an idea worth putting into production. - **Use case scoping.** Work with internal and external champions to figure out how to productionize an idea, what success actually measures, and the path to get there. - **Use case building.** Translate loosely defined ideas into concrete agents inside Carebricks. Build evals to ensure agents are doing what they're supposed to. - **Use case alignment. **Ensure use cases continue to deliver value, whether that means updates to agents, updates based on the latest clinical guidelines, or updates based on operational considerations. - **Core engineering.** Change the platform based on what you learned from users, and from using Carebricks yourself all week. We're looking for great engineers who want real ownership. The loop from "a physician told me this is broken" to "the platform no longer works that way" should close in days, and you own the whole loop. This role wants someone who can hold a conversation with a clinical champion in the morning and debug a production pipeline in the afternoon, and be customer outcome obsessed. If this sounds like a challenge you're up for, we want to meet you. ### Our engineering team has 3 core values - **Build for the patient:** We do what we do so that patients get better healthcare. - **Own it and ship it:** Own everything you do, and make sure you're always shipping. - **Be bold together:** Be part of a high performance team where we take big bets and have each others' backs. If you want to be a part of making healthcare enterprises around the world AI native, apply and tell us what makes you the ideal fit. **This position is based in our San Francisco office (4 days/week in-person), and we are happy to assist with relocation if needed.** [View posting at Bunkerhill Health](https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/bunkerhillhealth/548ba6a6-b90f-462b-9f89-0f50de4557fe/application) ## Similar jobs [Snorkel AI](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/snorkel-ai) ### [Senior/Staff Forward Deployed Engineer - Computer Use Agents](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/a1a38531f7571d5a) New York, NY · San Francisco, CA Hybrid 2mo ago $180,000–$320,000 [ChipAgents](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/chipagents) ### [Software Engineer, ML for EDA](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/5b4582d6cf8deb16) San Jose, CA On-site New · 4d ago $150,000–$350,000 [Binti](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/binti) ### [Forward-Deployed Engineer](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/2ab6678dd001933d) San Francisco, CA · Seattle, WA Hybrid 2mo ago $200,000–$300,000 [Wafer](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/wafer) ### [Member of Technical Staff](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/7cacb3e166260f2d) San Francisco, CA On-site 3mo ago $250,000–$250,000 [OpenClaw Foundation](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/openclaw-foundation) ### [Forward Deployed Engineer](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/bc34865d20736808) San Francisco, CA On-site 4mo ago $200,000–$300,000 - [Compare senior FDE salary ranges](https://nextmove.md/fde/salary/senior) - [Similar jobs in SF Bay Area](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs?region=sf-bay-area) - [Similar jobs that build what the customer runs](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs?role=builds-for-customers) Hiring at Bunkerhill Health and want this page changed or removed?
