Forward Deployed Engineer

Menlo Park, CA
Full-time
Visa Sponsorship

About the role

Paratus Health is building the AI-powered operations layer for outpatient clinics—voice agents that handle calls, intake, insurance, and documentation, deeply integrated with EHRs like Epic and Athena.

We’re backed by Y Combinator and investors behind GitHub and Notion. We’re already live in hospitals (including Palomar Health)!

> If you’ve worked with voice agents and are comfortable being customer-facing, we want to talk ASAP.


🔧 The Role

We’re hiring a Forward Deployed Engineer to work at the intersection of engineering and customer deployment. You’ll take our AI voice agents into real clinics - configuring, shipping, iterating, and ensuring they work flawlessly in production.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys shipping quickly, working directly with customers, and owning outcomes, not just code.


What You’ll Do

  • Deploy and customize AI voice agents for live healthcare customers
  • Work directly with clinics to understand workflows and translate them into production systems
  • Own launches end-to-end: configuration, iteration, debugging, and optimization
  • Build and extend backend systems, LLM pipelines, and real-time workflows
  • Partner closely with product, engineering, and customers to move fast

You Might Be a Fit If You

  • Have 1+ years of experience at fast-moving startups
  • Have hands-on experience with voice agents or conversational AI
  • Are comfortable being customer-facing (demos, feedback, iteration)
  • Know TypeScript, Node.js, AWS (LLMs, RAG, audio/voice a plus)
  • Thrive in ambiguity and like solving real-world problems live

Bonus: healthcare, EHR, or HIPAA-adjacent experience


Why Join

  • High ownership: You’ll directly shape how customers experience the product
  • Immediate impact: Your work goes live with real clinics in week one
  • Speed: Tight feedback loops between customers and engineering
  • Team: Hybrid, in-person culture at our Menlo Park HQ (101 Jefferson Dr)
  • Support: DoorDash credits, L&D budget, flexible hours
  • Fast process: Hiring wraps in 5–7 days

About Paratus Health

We’re building the first GTM data platform made for selling into healthcare.

Previously built voice agents for outpatient facilities and scaled to 35+ in under a year. Healthcare GTM data is broken - so we’re building what we wish we’d had.
