Forward Deployed Engineer

About the role

Luminai Healthcare seeks a Forward Deployed Engineer to bridge the gap between technology and manual work within healthcare systems.

Responsibilities

• Design, build, and deploy AI-driven solutions tailored to real operational problems
• Build and maintain production systems including APIs, integrations, monitoring, and feedback loops
• Translate business requirements and customer needs into technical architectures and implementations
• Operate in high-stakes environments where reliability, speed, and judgment matter
• Identify patterns across customer deployments and feed insights back into core product and platform development
• Partner closely with Product and Engineering to influence roadmap, abstractions, and long-term system design
• Own deployments end-to-end, from initial scoping through launch and iteration

Requirements

The ideal candidate should be able to translate ambiguous requirements into working, production-ready systems. Excellent communication skills and comfort working with both technical and non-technical stakeholders are essential. A high ownership mindset and the ability to operate independently in fast-changing environments are also crucial. Experience with AI systems (LLMs, vector databases, prompt engineering, or agent frameworks) is a strong plus.
