Bask Health are hiring a Forward Deployed Engineer

Bask Health is a software platform that enables entrepreneurs, doctors, and healthcare businesses to launch, manage, and grow direct-to-consumer telehealth businesses.

Our platform brings together patient experiences, clinical workflows, pharmacy operations, and commerce tools in one place.

We're an entrepreneurial, product-focused engineering team that values ownership, technical excellence, and building software that solves real problems. Engineers work closely with product teams and company leadership, take features from idea to production, and have a direct role in shaping the platform.

Engineering at Bask is AI-first and builder-led. We use tools like Cursor and Claude Code throughout development while maintaining high standards for reliability, testing, and software quality.

We're looking for a Forward Deployed Engineer to help implement, customize, and extend technical solutions across Bask Health's telehealth platform.

In this role, you'll combine hands-on software engineering with direct collaboration across merchant implementations, internal operations, and platform integrations. You'll work closely with engineering, product, and customer-facing teams to understand technical requirements, investigate challenges, and develop reliable solutions.

You'll build and maintain integrations, develop application features, troubleshoot complex issues, and create tools that make Bask's platform easier to implement and operate. Your work may involve merchant storefronts, patient workflows, internal applications, third-party services, and other areas of the platform.

This is an engineering-focused position rather than a traditional customer support or implementation coordination role. You'll write production-quality code, work with APIs and backend services, and contribute directly to technical solutions that solve real business problems.

You'll also help identify recurring implementation challenges and work with the broader engineering team to turn one-off solutions into reusable improvements.

We're looking for someone who enjoys working across different technical problems, communicates clearly with both technical and nontechnical stakeholders, and takes ownership of delivering practical solutions from discovery through deployment.
