Full Job Description
WHO WE ARE Healthcare needs a better rhythm: one that keeps care continuous and deeply human. Heidi is building an AI Care Partner that works alongside clinicians to make that possible. We’re a team of doctors, engineers, designers, researchers, and creatives building tools that help clinicians stay focused on what matters most: their patients. In just 18 months, Heidi has given back more than 18 million hours to healthcare professionals — supporting 73 million patient visits in 116 countries. Today, more than two million patient visits each week are powered by Heidi worldwide. Backed by nearly $100 million in funding, we’re growing in the US, UK, Canada, and Europe, partnering with leading health systems including the NHS, Beth Israel Lahey Health, and Monash Health. THE ROLE As a Forward Deployed Engineer, you'll be embedded with our most strategic customers — the person who makes Heidi actually work in the real world. You'll own the full technical lifecycle from first deployment through to a thriving, self-sufficient customer: standing up integrations, building custom clinical workflows, debugging production issues, and becoming a trusted technical partner to the clinicians and IT teams you work with. You're not handing off to someone else — you're seeing it through. You'll work closely with Product and Engineering to surface what customers actually need, acting as the field intelligence that shapes the roadmap. WHAT YOU'LL DO - Build systems in real clinical environments: You’ll work close to customers where Heidi’s product meets the messy reality of healthcare operations, EHR constraints, security requirements, specialty workflows, and implementation deadlines. The goal is to understand what is actually happening in the workflow and turn that into software that works. - Ship customer-specific workflow solutions with product discipline: You’ll build the configuration, integrations, workflow logic, and product extensions needed to make Heidi successful in importa
