We believe this is a data, machine-learning, and automation problem disguised as financial operations.\n\nWe are live with leading private hospitals and expanding quickly. Every hospital presents a different challenge: EHR systems are configured differently, national coding rules vary, and contracts describe the same clinical event in different terms. Your job is to help us turn that complexity into a system that learns: each new integration should make the next one faster, safer, and less expensive.\n\nApylon is backed by experienced operators and top-tier investors in healthcare and fintech. Our team draws on experience from Zendesk, Pleo, Wawa Fertility, Sibill, and some of the largest multi-country hospital groups in Europe. You’ll join the first small engineering team, with massive ownership over both what we build and how we build it.\n\nDelivering healthcare is hard. Getting paid for it shouldn’t be.\n\nYou’ll be responsible for\n\nOwn EHR integrations end to end: APIs, schemas, undocumented behaviour, operational failure modes, and vendor changes.\n\nBuild reusable integration-platform primitives for extraction, normalisation, versioning, replay, monitoring, and observability.\n\nDesign the canonical data model that connects heterogeneous EHR data, reimbursement systems, national coding standards, and hospital-specific conventions.\n\nBuild reliable inputs for our billing agents, including the constraints, validation, and evaluation systems that make model-assisted decisions safe to use in production.\n\nWork directly with hospital IT teams and EHR vendors: technical discovery, implementation, joint debugging, and onboarding.\n\nTake responsibility for the full lifecycle of your work: design, deployment, monitoring, incident response, and iteration from real-world data.\n\nWho you are\n\n3+ years building and operating production systems in complex, messy domains. We care more about demonstrated judgment and ownership than an exact number of years.\n\nExperience using LLMs as production components—not just developer tools. You understand when to use models, when deterministic systems are better, how to constrain outputs, and how to evaluate reliability.\n\nStrong data-modelling instincts. You know when abstraction creates leverage and when it hides important real-world variation.\n\nComfort working from incomplete information. You form hypotheses, test them against data, and distinguish unknowns that can wait from assumptions that could invalidate the system.\n\nConfidence in customer-facing technical work: discovery calls, debugging sessions, and direct conversations with vendors and hospital IT teams.\n\nExperience with cloud infrastructure and distributed systems.\n\nA practical, hands-on approach: equally comfortable designing an integration architecture and writing a quick script to answer an urgent question.\n\nThis role may be a strong fit if\n\nYou enjoy reverse-engineering systems you do not control, finding structure in messy real-world data, and turning one-off discoveries into reusable software. You are comfortable being the engineer in the room with customers and partners.\n\nWhat this role is not\n\nConsulting or bespoke delivery work. Each integration must improve the product and reduce the marginal cost of the next.\n\nA role insulated from customers or operational reality.\n\nPure platform engineering or pure integration work: the value comes from doing both.\n\nA role where incorrect mappings are merely technical defects. In this domain, they can produce incorrect invoices.\n\nBonus points\n\nExperience with healthcare interoperability or coding standards, including HL7v2, FHIR, or national messaging and reimbursement standards.\n\nExperience building and operating third-party integrations at scale.\n\nExperience in healthcare, fintech, or another regulated environment.\n\nExperience in an early-stage or fast-growing company.\n\nWorking proficiency in Danish, or German.\n\nOur tech stack\n\nPython\n\nDjango\n\nReact\n\nPostgreSQL\n\nAWS\n\nK8s\n\nTerraform\n\nBedrock\n\nWe’re pragmatic. You’ll have a big say in how it evolves.\n\nWhat Apylon offers\n\nThe chance to solve one of Europe’s biggest healthcare inefficiencies.\n\nCompetitive salary + stock options (you’ll own part of what you build).\n\n25 days of annual leave + local public holidays.\n\nLunch on us during workdays at the office.\n\nRegular off-sites and social events. We like building together, not just working together.\n\nTravel within the EU roughly monthly. Onboarding a hospital, working through an integration with a vendor’s engineers, or spending time on-site to understand how the data is actually produced. If travelling to a hospital basement to figure out why an export is malformed sounds like a bad week, this isn’t your role.\n\nWorking at Apylon means embarking on a highly ambitious mission to rebuild the financial infrastructure of European healthcare. We’re already live with leading private hospitals, processing thousands of invoices, proving that complex payer rules can be turned into code, powering transparent, automated, and intelligent revenue systems.\n\nHow to apply. If you're excited by the challenge of building intelligent, high-impact systems at the core of European healthcare and enjoy shipping fast, we'd love to hear from you.\n\n**Contact The Hiring Manager\n\n**Nicolò Calcavecchia\n\nCTO & Co-founder\n\n","description_format":"text","description_chars":5716,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Annual leave","Stock options"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"Germany","iso":"DE","kind":"region"},{"name":"France","iso":"FR","kind":"region"},{"name":"Austria","iso":"AT","kind":"region"},{"name":"Belgium","iso":"BE","kind":"region"},{"name":"Bulgaria","iso":"BG","kind":"region"},{"name":"Croatia","iso":"HR","kind":"region"},{"name":"Cyprus","iso":"CY","kind":"region"},{"name":"Czech Republic","iso":"CZ","kind":"region"},{"name":"Denmark","iso":"DK","kind":"region"},{"name":"Finland","iso":"FI","kind":"region"},{"name":"Hungary","iso":"HU","kind":"region"},{"name":"Ireland","iso":"IE","kind":"region"},{"name":"Italy","iso":"IT","kind":"region"},{"name":"Netherlands","iso":"NL","kind":"region"},{"name":"Poland","iso":"PL","kind":"region"},{"name":"Romania","iso":"RO","kind":"region"},{"name":"Spain","iso":"ES","kind":"region"},{"name":"Sweden","iso":"SE","kind":"region"},{"name":"Estonia","iso":"EE","kind":"region"},{"name":"Greece","iso":"GR","kind":"region"},{"name":"Latvia","iso":"LV","kind":"region"},{"name":"Lithuania","iso":"LT","kind":"region"},{"name":"Luxembourg","iso":"LU","kind":"region"},{"name":"Malta","iso":"MT","kind":"region"},{"name":"Portugal","iso":"PT","kind":"region"},{"name":"Slovakia","iso":"SK","kind":"region"},{"name":"Slovenia","iso":"SI","kind":"region"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Hospitals & Health Systems"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-19T20:52:38Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":3,"expected_fill_days":23,"reasons":["seen:3","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-22T06:10:10Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/apylon-forward-deployed-ai-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/apylon-forward-deployed-ai-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-22T13:10:09Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":12102,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-23T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":2602436},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=2602436"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fapylon-forward-deployed-ai-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fapylon-forward-deployed-ai-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fapylon-forward-deployed-ai-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/apylon-forward-deployed-ai-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fapylon-forward-deployed-ai-engineer"}]}
