Our mission is to make exceptional healthcare accessible anytime, anywhere, for anyone.

At Assort Health, we believe healthcare should feel effortless and connected — quick answers, clear communication, and seamless access to care. That’s why we’re building a new foundation for how patients and providers connect, driven by AI, built to embrace the complexities of healthcare, and tailored to each provider’s unique needs.

Assort is the most comprehensive patient experience platform powered by specialty-specific agentic AI. Assort’s omnichannel AI agents seamlessly integrate with EHR/PMS and complicated provider preferences to eliminate lengthy hold times and inefficiencies that stand in the way of patients getting the care they need.

Since launching in 2023, Assort has managed over 150M+ patient interactions, slashing average hold times from 11 minutes to 1 minute. Our platform now handles calls for thousands of providers with 98%+ resolution rates and 99% scheduling accuracy. Patient satisfaction averages 4.5/5 over 52K reviews, and we’ve achieved 20× revenue growth in 2025. We’re scaling rapidly and expanding adoption across the entire healthcare industry.

About The Role

We're hiring Forward Deployed Engineers to own customer deployments from technical build through go-live and optimization. You'll be the technical owner for health system implementations, working directly with customers to build, configure, and deploy production AI agents tailored to their workflows.

You'll work closely with Agent Product Managers who own the customer relationship and project plan, while you own the technical execution—building integrations, creating custom workflows, and ensuring successful launches.

What You'll Do

You'll be the technical force behind bringing AI agents to life for healthcare organizations. This isn't a typical engineering role—you'll work at the intersection of cutting-edge AI, complex healthcare systems, and real customer impact.

Ship Production AI Agents

Own implementations end-to-end for health systems, from technical scoping through go-live and beyond
Build custom integrations with complex healthcare platforms
Design intelligent workflows tailored to each customer's specialty, patient population, and operational constraints
Launch agents that handle thousands of real patient interactions daily

Solve Hard Technical Problems

Debug gnarly integration issues across phone systems, EHRs, scheduling platforms, and patient engagement tools
Architect creative solutions to handle healthcare's complexity—insurance verification, appointment rules, clinical protocols
Build tooling and automation that makes every future implementation faster and better
Optimize agent performance in production using real-world data and customer feedback

Shape the Product

Partner directly with Product Engineering to influence platform direction based on what you learn in the field
Identify patterns across implementations that become product features
Work with Sales to scope technical requirements and demo capabilities to prospects
Be the voice of the customer—you'll see what works, what doesn't, and what customers actually need

What We're Looking For

Required:

Strong software engineering background with a track record of shipping production code
Proficiency in Python
Experience with APIs, integrations, and working across multiple systems
Comfortable with ambiguity and building in fast-paced, high-stakes environments
Excellent communication skills—you can explain technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders
Scrappy, resourceful mindset—you find ways to solve problems even when the path isn't clear
Passion for healthcare and improving patient access

Nice to Have:

Experience with healthcare systems (EHR, practice management, patient engagement platforms)
Previous work in customer-facing engineering, solutions engineering, or implementation roles
Familiarity with voice/telephony systems (Twilio, etc.)
Background in AI/LLM applications
Experience working with enterprise customers
