About the Role
Immuware's customers, including Employee Health nurses; occupational health managers; and compliance professionals, work in one of the most requirement-heavy environments in healthcare IT. Regulations shift. Organizational structures change. New workflows emerge. Each of these changes often means hands-on work is needed inside their Immuware environment.
The Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE) exists to meet that need. It's a technical role embedded in the post-sales customer experience. It is not account management, not billable project work, and not break-fix support. The FDE shows up on customer calls, understands exactly what a health-system nurse manager is trying to accomplish, and gets it done. This is a process that happens through configuration, scripting, integrations, or code, and by partnering with product and engineering when the problem is bigger than one person.
The FDE owns the technical depth: live solutioning, hands-on building, and the bridge between customer needs and internal product and engineering teams.
What You'll Do
As our Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE) you will own the technical resolution of customer problems end to end, from understanding the need, building the fix, landing it with product and engineering when it's bigger than you, to ultimately serve as the bridge between customer needs and internal product and engineering teams. You're measured on customer outcomes, not on activity.
This role partners closely with our Customer Success Managers, who own the overall customer relationship, strategy, and commercial outcomes.
Technical Solutioning & Building
-
Lead regular (often weekly) technical working sessions with customers to address actively evolving needs driven by regulatory changes, organizational shifts, and workflow updates.
-
Configure, script, and-where it's the right tool-write code to solve customer needs: workflow setup, rule-building, field configuration, user and role management, reporting, data corrections, integrations, and small platform changes.
-
Translate complex Employee Health requirements (OSHA compliance, state-specific immunization mandates, system credentialing workflows, and the like) into solutions that actually work for our clients, in the Immuware platform (open to suggestions!) .
-
Question the requirements: Challenge requests that don't serve the customer's real goal, and choose the simplest solution that solves the underlying problem.
-
Thoroughly document your solution designs in Notion, while updating live items in Jira, to ensure they are repeatable and transferable.
-
Generalize your work. Turn one-off fixes into reusable templates, decision trees, or product improvements so the next customer benefits.
-
Triage net-new module or record-type additions that need a formal Letter of Work (LOW) and/or an ARR change (expansion) to CSMs and Professional Services.
Customer Partnership
-
Serve as the technical counterpart to CSMs on customer calls. CSMs handle the relationship; you handle "how do we make it work."
-
Working alongside the CSMs, lead deeper, in-depth customer education beyond basic platform navigation, run workflow specific walkthroughs, and re-train as staff turnover and organizational change creates knowledge gaps.
-
Build trusted-advisor relationships with power users and technical contacts at
