Forward Deployed Engineer (SW Engineer IV+)

Philadelphia, PA

How you will help

Accelerate customer and partner needs into clear, reliable, and scalable data and AI solutions, while strengthening HealthVerity’s engineering framework through real-world application and feedback.

As a Forward-Deployed Engineer at HealthVerity, you will embed with customers and cross-functional teams to rapidly translate complex business problems into well-designed data flows, AI-enabled capabilities, and production-ready systems. You will help turn fragmented or bespoke customer requirements into smooth, repeatable data processes that align with our platform strategy.

Through hands-on delivery, you will also advance HealthVerity’s engineering and AI frameworks; validating patterns, surfacing gaps, and shaping standards that make it easier for teams to build, deploy, and operate intelligent data products at scale.

 

What you will do

  • Lead technical discovery engagements with customers or internal partners to deeply understand business workflows, constraints, data realities, and success criteria.
  • Rapidly prototype and iterate on pragmatic solutions; often using AI/ML, data pipelines, and backend services to validate value early and reduce delivery risk.
  • Design and deliver production ready systems, including APIs, data pipelines, ML workflows, and cloud-native services, aligned with HealthVerity’s architecture and security standards.
  • Own deployments and scaling efforts, troubleshooting complex issues across data, infrastructure, and application layers in real customer environments.
  • Translate field learnings into leverage, feeding actionable insights back into product strategy, platform roadmap decisions, and reusable engineering patterns.

How success will be defined

  • Successfully deliver multiple high-impact customer or partner engagements, translating ambiguous business needs into production-ready technical solutions.
  • Drive adoption and demonstrated the value of HealthVerity platform capabilities within real customer environments.
  • Build strong, trusted relationships with customers and internal stakeholders, reflected in consistently positive feedback on technical delivery and collaboration.
  • Influence product and platform direction by bringing concrete, field-driven insights into roadmap, architecture, and prioritization discussions.
  • Leave behind durable, maintainable solutions and reusable patterns that scale beyond individual engagements.

Required skills and experience

  • 8+ years of software engineering experience, delivering production systems in Python, and/or JavaScript/TypeScript.
  • Experience building data-intensive, distributed systems, including APIs, data pipelines, and cloud-native services (AWS or similar).
  • Demonstrated experience owning and productionizing AI/ML solutions—taking them beyond experimentation into reliable, monitored workflows and systems
  • Strong ability to operate in ambiguous, customer-driven problem spaces and make sound technical decisions.
  • Clear communicator with the ability to work effectively across engineering, product, and customer teams.

Desired skills and experience

  • Experience working in regulated or compliance-driven environments (e.g., healthcare, life sciences, financial services).
  • Background in customer-facing or domain-embedded engineering roles (e.g., forward-deployed, solutions, or consulting).
  • Familiarity with modern data platforms and analytical workloads (e.g., Databricks, Spark, Snowflake).
  • Experience influencing product or platform direction through real-world delivery or field-driven insights.

 

Base salary for the role is commensurate with experience and can range between $170,000 - 220,000 + annual bonus opportunity.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
