## Job description

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.
