Decoda Health

Forward Deployed Engineer

About

At Decoda Health, we’re building the operating system for medical practices. Our platform automates the high-friction work - scheduling, payments, communications, and charting - so providers can focus on patients. We are looking for a Forward-Deployed Engineer who is equal parts technical expert and customer advocate. You will be the bridge between our platform and the clinics we serve. If you are a personable engineer who loves solving complex problems and making customers happy, we want to meet you. IN THIS ROLE, YOU WILL: - Own technical delivery across multiple deployments, from first prototype to stable production. - Drive Data Migrations: Build and maintain high-performance Python-based pipelines and scrapers to extract information from legacy systems. - Embed with Customer Teams: Understand their needs, remove blockers early, and guide the adoption of what you build. - Make Trade-offs: Balance scope, speed, and quality; adjust plans to protect delivery. - Refine the UX: Work within our React/Next.js stack to polish interfaces, ensuring onboarding flows are intuitive and high-value for clinic staff. - Codify Patterns: Turn field feedback into tools, playbooks, and building blocks that help the rest of the team move faster. - High-Touch Deployments: Occasionally head on-site for our largest customers to oversee complex transitions and ensure success from day one. WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR: Technical Foundations - Data & Backend: Strong experience in Python with a focus on web scraping (BeautifulSoup, Selenium, or Playwright). - Data Systems: Proficiency in data manipulation (Pandas, SQL) and working with PostgreSQL. Mindset & Interpersonal - AI-First Mindset: You naturally look for ways to leverage LLMs and automation to solve messy data challenges or streamline manual workflows. - Bias for Action: You see a friction point and want to fix it immediately. You keep teams and clients moving with clarity and follow-through. - Exceptional Communication: You leave customers feeling energized and heard. You can translate technical hurdles into clear updates. BONUS: - Experience in health tech or working with Electronic Medical Record (EMR) systems. - Experience with TypeScript, React, and Next.js. WHY JOIN DECODA: - Compensation: $100,000 – $140,000 CAD. - High Impact: A high-ownership role at a YC-backed company where your work directly improves patient care. - Team Culture: Join a fast-moving, on-site team in Toronto that values high talent and zero ego.
