Role

Who you are

This is a highly autonomous, hands-on role for someone who thrives in ambiguous environments, enjoys working directly with customers, and wants to shape product direction through what they see in the field
5+ years of software engineering experience, ideally as an FDE or in backend / systems-focused work
A track record of being the senior, steady hand on a team, comfortable operating with less oversight and setting the bar for others
Strong proficiency in Python (TypeScript / JavaScript experience is a plus)
Experience working with cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, or Azure)
Ability to translate ambiguous requirements into working, production-ready systems
Strong communication skills and comfort working with both technical and non-technical stakeholders
High ownership mindset with the ability to operate independently in fast-changing environments
Experience with AI systems (LLMs, vector databases, prompt engineering, or agent frameworks) is a strong plus

What the job involves

As a Forward Deployed Engineering Lead, you will sit at the intersection of engineering, product, and customer delivery, while also raising the bar for how the FDE team operates
You'll embed directly with customers, deeply understand their workflows, and design and deploy AI-powered solutions that deliver immediate, real-world impact, while also setting the technical standard for the team around you
You'll partner closely with Product and Engineering to turn customer needs into scalable systems that improve how healthcare organizations operate, and you'll bring the judgment of a more senior builder to a team that's still growing into that muscle
Embed directly with customers to understand their workflows, constraints, and success criteria
Design, build, and deploy AI-driven solutions tailored to real operational problems
Build and maintain production systems including APIs, integrations, monitoring, and feedback loops
Translate business requirements and customer needs into technical architectures and implementations
Operate in high-stakes environments where reliability, speed, and judgment matter
Identify patterns across customer deployments and feed insights back into core product and platform development
Partner closely with Product and Engineering to influence roadmap, abstractions, and long-term system design
Own deployments end-to-end, from initial scoping through launch and iteration
Set technical direction and best practices for the FDE team, raising the bar on code quality, architecture decisions, and deployment rigor
Mentor and unblock other FDEs, acting as a senior voice in the room on ambiguous technical and customer tradeoffs

Our take

Luminai, formerly known as Digital Brain, delivers a platform to help health systems to automate their workflows and ultimately save time on internal processes. By supporting clients to streamline their operations, the company contributes to a more efficient healthcare landscape that better serves both practitioners and patients.

Capable of serving organizations of all sizes, Luiminai is positioned to be a key player in the automation of health systems large and small. Advances in AI have supported the expansion of its product, enabling it to deliver automation across whole workflows more easily - rather than just target isolated tasks. This enhancement has seen the company raise a fresh $38 million in funding, to add to the considerable investment it has already raised.
