Meet Ascertain Ascertain is building AI agents to automate the administrative work that burdens care teams. We are in major health systems and large specialty groups, saving hundreds of staff hours every week.
Our backers include Northwell Health, New York’s largest health system, and Deerfield Management, a leading healthcare investment firm.
Together, we’re on a mission to restore time, trust, and focus to the people who keep healthcare running. Our work is urgent — not because of startup timelines, but because our customers rely on us to drive financial resilience and operational clarity in a system under strain.
As a Forward Deployed Engineer at Ascertain, you sit at the intersection of product, engineering, and real-world customer operations. Healthcare organizations run on complex, messy systems – payer portals, practice management systems, spreadsheets, and legacy workflows. Your job is to understand that reality and help shape Ascertain’s product so it works in practice, not just in theory.
You’ll work closely with customers to translate their workflows and edge cases into production-grade solutions by integrating systems, extending workflows, and building features. Just as importantly, you’ll identify patterns and feed them back into the core product so we solve problems once and scale.
This is a founding Forward Deployed Engineer role. You’ll help define the playbook with clear opportunities to grow into pod leadership and, over time, people management, if that’s of interest.
This role is US-based remote . Regardless of location, this role requires close product collaboration and occasional customer travel (roughly 10–20%).
The role reports to the Chief Product Officer.
