Forward Deployed Engineer
Decoda Health · Toronto, CA
Job description
At Decoda Health, we’re building the operating system for medical practices. Our platform automates the high-friction work - scheduling, payments, communications, and charting - so providers can focus on patients.
We are looking for a Forward-Deployed Engineer who is equal parts technical expert and customer advocate. You will be the bridge between our platform and the clinics we serve. If you are a personable engineer who loves solving complex problems and making customers happy, we want to meet you.
In this role, you will:
- Own technical delivery across multiple deployments, from first prototype to stable production.
- Drive Data Migrations: Build and maintain high-performance Python-based pipelines and scrapers to extract information from legacy systems.
- Embed with Customer Teams: Understand their needs, remove blockers early, and guide the adoption of what you build.
- Make Trade-offs: Balance scope, speed, and quality; adjust plans to protect delivery.
- Refine the UX: Work within our React/Next.js stack to polish interfaces, ensuring onboarding flows are intuitive and high-value for clinic staff.
- Codify Patterns: Turn field feedback into tools, playbooks, and building blocks that help the rest of the team move faster.
- High-Touch Deployments: Occasionally head on-site for our largest customers to oversee complex transitions and ensure success from day one.
What we’re looking for:
Technical Foundations
- Data & Backend: Strong experience in Python with a focus on web scraping (BeautifulSoup, Selenium, or Playwright).
- Data Systems: Proficiency in data manipulation (Pandas, SQL) and working with PostgreSQL.
Mindset & Interpersonal
- AI-First Mindset: You naturally look for ways to leverage LLMs and automation to solve messy data challenges or streamline manual workflows.
- Bias for Action: You see a friction point and want to fix it immediately. You keep teams and clients moving with clarity and follow-through.
- Exceptional Communication: You leave customers feeling energized and heard. You can translate technical hurdles into clear updates.
Bonus:
- Experience in health tech or working with Electronic Medical Record (EMR) systems.
- Experience with TypeScript, React, and Next.js.
Why join Decoda:
- Compensation: $100,000 – $140,000 CAD.
- High Impact: A high-ownership role at a YC-backed company where your work directly improves patient care.
- Team Culture: Join a fast-moving, on-site team in Toronto that values high talent and zero ego.
Compensation Range: CA$100K - CA$140K
