Forward Deployed
Engineer
$140-200K + 0.3-0.5% EQUITY · NEW YORK CITY + TRAVEL · FOUNDING TEAM
You'll be the person who shows up at a customer's office, understands their entire operation in 48 hours, and deploys an AI agent that transforms how they work. Then you fly home and ship the product improvements you identified in the field.
This is the most impactful role at Zingage. Every enterprise deployment starts with an FDE. You're the reason customers sign six-figure contracts after a two-week pilot.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
- –Fly to customer sites and deploy AI agents end-to-end — from integration to go-live
- –Build browser-based automations against EMR systems with no public APIs (WellSky, AxisCare, etc.)
- –Shadow schedulers, intake coordinators, and office staff to understand real workflows
- –Ship product improvements directly from field observations — 7 improvements in 6 days is the bar
- –Present deployment results to customer leadership and close expansion deals
- –Own the full stack of a deployment: data extraction, agent configuration, QA, monitoring, and support
WHO YOU ARE
- –Strong software engineering fundamentals — you can build and ship production systems
- –Comfortable with ambiguity — you'll often be the only engineer on-site figuring things out
- –Experience with browser automation, scraping, or reverse-engineering web applications is a plus
- –Bias toward action — you'd rather ship something imperfect today than something perfect next month
- –Willingness to travel to customer sites (primarily domestic, ~30-50% travel)
- –Genuine curiosity about healthcare operations — you'll be deep in scheduling workflows and care coordination
THE CHALLENGE
We don't do interviews. We do deployments.
Instead of whiteboard problems, we give you a real mission. You'll get access to a WellSky ClearCare sandbox — the same EMR system our customers use. Browser-based. No public API.
Your job: build a script that connects to the EMR, extracts patient and caregiver data, and produces a deployment readiness report. Exactly what you'd do in week one on the job.
WHAT WE EVALUATE
Domain Reasoning
Can you make sense of messy healthcare data?
Scrappy Engineering
Can you automate a system that wasn't built to be automated?
Systems Navigation
Can you navigate SSO, MFA, session management, and browser-based workflows?
Self-Directed Execution
Can you figure out what to do with minimal guidance?
TOOLS: Playwright, Puppeteer, or Selenium — your choice.
LANGUAGE: Any. We use TypeScript internally.
TIME: No deadline, but we value speed.
