Forward Deployed Engineer

Our mission Great science regularly stalls in the clinic, not because the science is wrong, but because the company behind it lacks the capital, infrastructure, or focus to take it all the way through. Today’s clinical-stage biopharma model is broken, and as a result promising treatments never reach patients. Our mission is to fix this: we’re building the next generation of biopharma by in-licensing clinical-stage therapeutic assets and developing them through Lindus Health’s integrated, technology-first clinical trial infrastructure. We’re a new initiative, but we’re building on a proven foundation - the same infrastructure that has delivered 82% of Lindus Health’s sponsor trials on or ahead of timeline, across 40+ completed trials across the US and Europe. We’re in-licensing 5-7 clinical-stage, typically Phase-2-ready assets, funded directly from Lindus Health’s balance sheet. We’re targeting deal close on our first assets through 2026, with first trials launching in H1 2027.

About the Role

The Forward Deployed Engineer is an embedded member of the trial team, delivering the technical solutions assigned studies need. You build the study across the Citrus ecosystem, set up and manage its integrations and data pipelines, and help produce the databases, data, and artifacts a trial depends on, accurate and compliant. This is a technical role. You write code, build the automation and tooling that keep quality high, and take part in the fire team, with platform work done under software engineering oversight. Trial delivery is the priority and the technical work serves it.

About You

• You have 3-6 years of experience in software, data, or systems work, through a degree in a technical field or hands-on work, and can deliver independently once pointed at a problem; experience in clinical trials or life sciences is a plus
• You are a capable engineer; you are proficient in coding and AI tools. Experience with Django admin and/or relational databases is valued
• You are precise and thorough, with the attention to detail to spot gaps and ambiguities before they become problems
• You are driven to understand and solve problems, and comfortable collaborating across technical and non-technical teams
• You can prioritize effectively and keep track of several things at once without letting them slip
• You are interested in working in a regulated environment,
