The process today is time intensive, incredibly expensive, and often ends in failure. The Protege platform facilitates the secure, efficient, and privacy-centric exchange of AI training data.\nSolving AI’s data problem is a generational opportunity. We’re backed by world-class investors and already powering partnerships with some of the most ambitious teams in AI. The company that succeeds will be one of the largest in AI - and in tech.\nWe’re a lean, fast-moving, high-trust team of builders who are obsessed with velocity and impact. Our culture is built for people who thrive on ambiguity, own outcomes, and want to shape the future of data and AI.\nRole Overview\nProtege is hiring a Forward Deployed Engineer, Healthcare to own customer-facing technical engagements from initial scoping through post-engagement support.\nThis role sits at the intersection of software engineering, solution architecture, and customer partnership. The person in this seat will build custom solutions, navigate healthcare data environments, and translate customer needs into practical technical execution across Protege’s product and platform.\nAs Protege expands its healthcare business, customers and data partners need tailored implementation support and technical expertise in complex, regulated environments. This role is critical to accelerating customer and data partner outcomes, ensuring success across a growing portfolio of engagements, and identifying repeatable implementation patterns that can become scalable product capabilities.\nThis role sits at the center of a vertical that is growing extremely rapidly. You'll be managing customer and partner relationships, technical engagements, and architecture decisions at the same time. The pace is fast, the ambiguity is real, and when deals are live, availability outside standard hours is part of the job. If this type of environment and growth excites you, there could be a strong fit. If this is not something you are actively looking for, this likely is not the correct role.\nWhat You’ll Do\nOwn healthcare customer engagements end-to-end\nLead technical work from initial scoping through implementation, data ingestion, and continued refreshes.\n\nBecome the primary technical partner for assigned healthcare data partners.\n\nBuild trusted relationships with customer engineering and technical teams.\n\nManage multiple concurrent healthcare engagements while maintaining quality and customer confidence.\n\nBuild custom solutions for complex customer needs\nDevelop and deploy integrations, data transformations, and applications that solve customer-specific challenges.\n\nNavigate customer technical environments and adapt Protege’s platform capabilities to real-world deployment constraints.\n\nTranslate ambiguous customer needs into clear technical plans, milestones, and practical implementation paths.\n\nBridge customer needs with product and platform capabilities\nIdentify where customer-specific work points to repeatable product opportunities.\n\nSurface actionable product feedback based on implementation patterns, customer pain points, and blockers.\n\nPartner with product and engineering to turn bespoke solutions into reusable platform capabilities where appropriate.\n\nOperate with strong healthcare data judgment\nHandle healthcare data environments with appropriate care, including PHI and regulatory considerations.\n\nMake sound technical decisions in complex, regulated settings.\n\nCommunicate clearly with customers and internal teams about tradeoffs, risks, dependencies, and implementation choices.\n\nCreate reusable leverage\nContribute playbooks, tooling, templates, and best practices that improve future healthcare deal execution.\n\nDocument repeatable patterns and lessons from customer engagements.\n\nHelp Protege move faster over time by turning one-off implementation work into reusable assets.\n\nWhat Success Looks Like\n30 days: Support an active deal\nThe FDE has built context on Protege’s healthcare customer motion, platform capabilities, common implementation needs, and regulated data considerations. They are supporting an active customer engagement with guidance.\n\n60 days: Manages multiple customer engagements\nThe FDE is independently leading a scoped customer engagement or technical workstream, building trust with customer technical teams, and delivering against customer requirements and timelines.\n\n90 days: Owns multiple concurrent engagements\nThe FDE is independently managing multiple healthcare customer engagements, contributing reusable playbooks or tooling, and surfacing product feedback that helps convert bespoke implementation patterns into scalable capabilities.\n\nWhat You Bring\nExperience in software engineering, solution architecture, forward deployed engineering, technical implementation, or a similar customer-facing technical role.\n\nAbility to own customer engagements from scoping to repeated support.\n\nStrong technical execution across custom solutions, integrations, data transformations, and/or applications.\n\nComfort operating in healthcare data environments, including sensitivity to PHI and regulatory considerations.\n\nStrong customer-facing communication and ability to build trust with technical stakeholders.\n\nAbility to bridge customer needs with product and platform capabilities.\n\nHigh ownership, adaptability, and comfort operating in ambiguous, fast-moving environments.\n\nBias toward creating reusable systems, playbooks, tooling, and best practices rather than solving the same problem repeatedly.\n\nProtege Values\nPass the Loved Ones’ Test\n We act with integrity and do the right thing - especially when it’s hard and no one is watching.\nAlways Find a Way\n We are resourceful, resilient builders who solve hard problems and push through obstacles.\nGo Fast and Grow Fast\n Velocity matters. We move with urgency, learn quickly, and continuously improve as individuals and as a company.\nPractice Kindness and Candor\n We communicate directly and respectfully, building trust through honest feedback and genuine care for one another.\nDeliver Together\n We win as one team. Collaboration, accountability, and shared ownership drive our success.\nOwn the Outcome. Hone the Craft.\n We take pride in our work, sweat the details, and continuously raise the bar for excellence.","description_format":"text","description_chars":6395,"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":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["AI Training Data & Annotation","Health Data & Interoperability"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-06-03T23:17:33Z"},{"event":"reopen","at":"2026-10-13T04:13:12Z"},{"event":"close","at":"2026-10-14T23:05:47Z"},{"event":"reopen","at":"2026-10-29T23:12:01Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":8,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.27,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":164,"expected_fill_days":70,"reasons":["conf:0","repost:2","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-11-15T07:52:55Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/protege-forward-deployed-engineer-healthcare","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/protege-forward-deployed-engineer-healthcare.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-15T20:39:49Z","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":15124,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-16T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01,"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":1805974},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=1805974"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fprotege-forward-deployed-engineer-healthcare"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"free","price":{"credits":0,"usd":0},"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%2Fprotege-forward-deployed-engineer-healthcare"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01},"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%2Fprotege-forward-deployed-engineer-healthcare"},{"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/protege-forward-deployed-engineer-healthcare\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fprotege-forward-deployed-engineer-healthcare"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":89232}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"withprotege.ai","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":89232},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
