Forward Deployed Engineer

Forward Deployed Engineer

You'll own the integration layer between Aira's payer intelligence platform and the real-world provider and insurance systems it serves. Sitting between our founding team and clients, you'll translate messy healthcare workflows into clean technical solutions—building APIs, scrapers, and custom integrations that make Aira fit seamlessly into each practice's stack. This is a high-ownership role where you'll ship fast, learn the US healthcare landscape deeply, and directly impact how surgical practices operate.

What you'll do

• Build and maintain integrations with provider practices and insurance systems using APIs, scrapers, and RPA where needed
• Participate in client discovery sessions with founders to map workflows and translate them into technical requirements
• Ship custom integrations quickly and iterate based on real-world feedback
• Contribute to the core product when integration work isn't the bottleneck
• Develop deep working knowledge of the US provider/payer landscape

What Aira is looking for

• 2–5 years of full-stack engineering experience
• Startup background with experience owning features or products end-to-end in small teams
• Proven ability to integrate with third-party APIs
• Active user of AI coding tools (Claude, Cursor, etc.) with shipped production work
• Strong communication skills; you can clearly articulate technical problems and tradeoffs to non-technical audiences
• Strong pluses: scraper or RPA experience, US healthcare background, AWS/GCP infrastructure experience, or production LLM application development

Tech stack: Python, FastAPI, React + TypeScript, Postgres, AWS, GCP, GitHub

Logistics: Full-time, hybrid (NYC), in-person when called, some travel
