What the job involves
- We're seeking a passionate and technically adept Sales Engineer to join our early team and help bring the Zus platform to life for prospects and customers
- As a Sales Engineer, you’ll play a critical role in the pre-sales process, helping potential customers understand, evaluate, and adopt the Zus platform
- You'll lead technical demos, build proof-of-concepts, troubleshoot integrations, and ensure prospects and customers alike experience the full value Zus has to offer

- Deliver technical demos and communicate Zus’s value proposition to diverse audiences—from developers to C-suite stakeholders
- Develop and maintain internal and customer-facing implementation tools and documentation
- Lead technical discovery and own pre-sales proof-of-concept projects that showcase the power of Zus’s APIs
- Create implementation plans and guide customers through integrating with Zus APIs, data models, and infrastructure
- Troubleshoot integration hurdles and serve as the front-line technical partner to customers
- Be a customer advocate—represent their needs and feedback to Product and Engineering

- Collaborate cross-functionally to improve our go-to-market motion, collateral, and tools
- Jump in wherever needed to help us move fast, learn quickly, and build something meaningful
Our take
Whilst the healthtech sector is growing fast, the kind of tech needed to build within each healthcare field can be radically different. The result has been that most of these companies develop in a vacuum, with time and resources wasted on unnecessary duplications of tools, data, and backends. Zus is looking to remedy this health data isolation issue by building a shared development platform for healthcare startups.
The idea is that companies will benefit from shared data in the backend - thus bringing down the cost and delays currently involved in setting up individual new companies. Whilst the healthtech boom of recent years is showing signs of abating, at least in the US, it’s still a strong and fertile market with plenty of room for innovation. This should keep interest high for capabilities like those offered by Zus.
Moreover, the company is led by HealthTech veteran Jonathan Bush. His tenure at athenahealth saw it ultimately sold in a $17B private equity deal after becoming a leading healthcare network service provider. With this expertise, a market-accelerating proposition, and impressive partnerships, Zus is becoming an important player.
