Full Job Description
Company Overview: We are building Protege to solve the biggest unmet need in AI — getting access to the right training data. The process today is time intensive, incredibly expensive, and often ends in failure. The Protege platform facilitates the secure, efficient, and privacy-centric exchange of AI training data. Solving AI’s data problem is a generational opportunity. We’re backed by world-class investors and already powering partnerships with some of the most ambitious teams in AI. The company that succeeds will be one of the largest in AI — and in tech. We’re a lean, fast-moving, high-trust team of builders who are obsessed with velocity and impact. Our culture is built for people who thrive on ambiguity, own outcomes, and want to shape the future of data and AI. ABOUT THE ROLE Protege is hiring Forward Deployed Engineers to join our healthcare team. This is a hands-on role focused on end-to-end ownership of customer engagements, from initial feasibility through delivery and post-launch support. You'll be part of a team that works at the crossroads of customer needs, healthcare data, and our platform. You’ll partner closely with our healthcare GM, Solutions Leads, and DataLab to navigate customer requirements. Within the team, FDEs take different shapes of engagement. Some work across many healthcare deals and customers, while others are dedicated to specific strategic accounts. Every FDE is meant to build the last-mile work that makes deals successful, surface the patterns that should become product, and continue to develop the technical depth that makes us effective in healthcare. This role is ideal for engineers who want to own customer outcomes. It sits at the center of a vertical that is growing extremely rapidly. You'll be managing customer relationships, technical delivery, and architecture decisions at the same time, across multiple deals at a time. The pace is fast, the ambiguity is real, and when deals are live, availability outside standard hours is
