Description
Forward is on a bold mission to make high quality healthcare available to a billion people across the globe. We’re building the world’s most advanced healthcare platform from the ground up, combining hardware, software and doctors under one roof. We are building our IT team and looking for a world-class IT Engineer with expertise in improving and scaling IT systems and infrastructure. As an early member of our IT team, you’ll have a key role in building the future of healthcare from first principles.

Forward was founded in January 2016 by former executives and engineering leaders from Google and Uber. We are funded by some of the world's best investors and entrepreneurs including Founder's Fund, Khosla Ventures, First Round Capital, Eric Schmidt (Google/Alphabet Chairman), Marc Benioff (Salesforce Founder), Joe Lonsdale (Palantir Founder), Joshua Kushner (Oscar co-Founder) and Garrett Camp (Uber co-Founder).

What You'll Do:

  • Tackle problems on the boundary of software, hardware, and the real world.
  • Develop and visualize interfaces for all stages of user experience, from displaying the waveform of a heartbeat to interpreting thermal images of a human face.
  • Collaborate with domain experts across everything from board manufacturing to UIs for intuitive human-computer interaction in a healthcare context.
  • Work with top-flight software and hardware engineering talent from places like Google, Amazon, Nvidia, Palantir, and NASA JPL.
  • Own entire projects while working alongside cross-functional teams of doctors, designers, and operators.
  • Your work will directly contribute to saving and improving people’s lives. For real. :)

What We're Looking For:

  • Impact - You’re deeply mission-driven and you think there’s more to life than software that enables puppy ears to be superimposed on photos. Although we concede those are cute.
  • Smart devices - You have experience developing production software involving several levels of the protocol stack, anywhere from serial I/O and microcontrollers to websockets and MQTT. You are familiar with sensors and actuators, device swarming, and maybe even gesture recognition algorithms. 
  • Product passion - You care about the bits you ship ending up in users’ hands. You don’t really need a product manager because you’re basically one yourself.
  • Entrepreneurship - You’re a self-starter who loves to own things end-to-end. You don’t ask for permission - you’re too busy making things happen.
  • Team player - You know how to make those around you better and feed off their energy. You take care of your teammates.
  • Curiosity - You like to mess around with hardware hacking, Bluetooth/BLE, or bioinformatics in your free time? You reverse engineered your connected insulin pump? Girl, have we got some fun things for you…
  • You have a BS, MS or PhD in computer science or a related technical field with focus on embedded systems, physical sensor deployment, or medical device integration. 
  • You have 3+ years experience working in a related field
The base salary range for this full-time position is $100,000-$220,000, plus equity and benefits. The range displayed on each job posting reflects the minimum and maximum target for new hire salaries for the position across all locations. Within the range, individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, relevant education or training, and location.

WHY JOIN FORWARD?

We don’t want to just move dollars around the healthcare industry - we want to rebuild it and fix it. All of it. You’d be a major part of the story behind one of the most ambitious startup attempts of the past decade and you’d work with a team of people who want to use their talents for good.
