Forward Deployed Engineer

Role Description

Engage directly with business stakeholders, VPs, clinical leads, operations owners to surface ambiguous, high-value problems and translate them into buildable AI opportunities.

• Ask sharp questions, challenge assumptions, and define what a minimum viable AI solution looks like before writing a line of code.
• Map existing processes end-to-end, identify where AI can eliminate friction, reduce cost, or accelerate decisions and communicate your findings in business terms.
• Build lightweight scoping documents and ROI estimates that align stakeholders and set clear success criteria before development begins.

Design and build working AI prototypes within days using Claude and the modern AI development stack.

• Develop full-stack AI applications spanning LLM orchestration, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), agentic workflows, REST API integrations, and lightweight front-end interfaces.
• Own your technical architecture end-to-end from prompt design to data pipeline to user interface and be able to explain every design decision to both engineering and business audiences.
• Iterate based on real user feedback in the field; ship early, learn fast, and drive toward production-grade quality with intention and speed.
• Use Claude as a core development accelerator for code generation, testing, documentation, and solution design.

Partner with Brillio's AI Governance team to validate, harden, and evolve prototypes into production-grade, enterprise-ready systems.

• Apply responsible AI principles bias review, explainability, HIPAA compliance, audit logging, and model monitoring as a standard part of every build.
• Document solutions clearly and completely so they can be handed off, scaled, and maintained by broader engineering teams without rework.
• Contribute to Brillio's reusable AI accelerator library turning client-specific solutions into patterns that can be deployed across engagements.

Participate in all client business rhythm meetings sprint reviews, program steering committees, and executive status updates.

• Demonstrate progress through live demos and working software, not slide decks alone.
• Communicate technical concepts clearly to non-technical business leaders and build the trust required to move from pilot to scale.
• Surface blockers, dependencies, and risks early with clear, solutions-oriented framing.

Develop genuine expertise in your client's business, their workflows, their data, their competitive pressures, and their regulatory environment.

• Understand healthcare operations deeply enough to generate your own problem hypotheses, not just respond to inbound requests.
• Build relationships with business counterparts that go beyond project delivery, becoming a trusted advisor on what AI can and cannot do in their environment.
• Contribute to internal knowledge sharing; bring learnings from client engagements back to Brillio's broader applied AI community.

Qualifications

• 8+ years of healthcare industry experience.
• Direct, hands-on experience in health insurance operations or health system clinical and operational workflows.
• Proficiency with Claude (Anthropic) as a development tool.
• Full-stack AI engineering capability.
• Demonstrated ability to prototype at speed.
• Business articulation and stakeholder communication.
• Maturity to engage at the executive level.
• Ability to structure ambiguous problems.
• Quantitative fluency for ROI and impact measurement.

Requirements

• Experience with agentic AI frameworks.
• Healthcare data standards and regulatory context.
• Prior forward-deployed, embedded, or startup engineering experience.
• Experience shipping AI in health insurance technology company or health system.
• Experience contributing to reusable AI platforms or accelerators.
• Knowledge of AI governance and responsible AI practices in enterprise settings.

Benefits

• $200,000 - $300,000 a year.
