Role
Who you are
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field
- 5+ years of experience in technical roles involving customer-facing deployments or implementation engineering
- Deep experience integrating with healthcare systems such as EHRs (Epic, Cerner, Athena), CRMs, or population health platforms

What the job involves
- We are seeking a Forward Deployed Engineer who thrives at the intersection of engineering, client interaction, and real-world healthcare implementation
- In this role, you will act as a technical and strategic partner to our clients across the payor, provider, and digital health sectors—helping to deploy our LLM safely, effectively, and efficiently in high-impact environments
- You’ll collaborate closely with engineering, AI, clinical, and business teams to customize and deploy solutions that make a meaningful difference in healthcare delivery
- Serve as a technical lead on client engagements, guiding end-to-end solution deployment and customization
- Act as the bridge between our engineering team and client stakeholders to ensure smooth implementations
- Rapidly prototype integrations, build internal tooling, and configure systems to meet client needs

- Partner cross-functionally with product and clinical teams to surface insights and inform the product roadmap
Our take
The healthcare system is under increasing pressure to improve performance and patient outcomes, while battling inefficient operations and an ongoing staff shortage. Hippocratic AI hopes to help the industry address these issues, by supplying LLM-powered healthcare agents.
Hippocratic's agents can be employed in a number of scenarios, for example follow-ups with discharged patients, health risk assessments, or pre-op chats. Rather than delivering one conversational agent, the company has specified models that deal with different conditions - just one part of its safety-focussed approach.
By taking measures such as getting real nurses to assess its AI, Hippocratic solidifies this commitment to safety. The company has seen significant investment which it will use to fund further safety tests and develop its product moving forwards.
