Clinicians who use Suki spend over 70% less time on admin work, and our customers see a 9X return in their first year. Suki Platform gives other healthcare companies access to the same technology through APIs and SDKs, powering voice features in telehealth platforms, care delivery tools, and specialty EMRs.\nWe are hiring a Staff Forward Deployed Engineer to lead technical delivery for our most important Platform customers. This is an individual contributor role.\nAbout the role\nIntegrating AI into healthcare systems is hard. APIs behave differently in production, clinical workflows vary from site to site, and small edge cases decide whether clinicians keep using the product. You will own our most complex customer integrations from scoping to production. You will also turn what you learn into tools, patterns, and product feedback that help the rest of the team deliver faster.\nWhat you will do\nLead technical delivery for strategic Platform customers, working directly with their engineering, product, and clinical teams.\nTurn unclear customer requirements into solution designs using dictation, ambient, text generation, and summarization.\nMake architecture decisions on security, data handling, and edge cases.\nBuild reference implementations and playbooks the team can reuse.\nDeploy distributed applications in on-premises and cloud environments, and own them after launch, including monitoring and incident response.\nBring customer feedback to our Platform, ML, and Product teams and help shape the roadmap.\nMentor other engineers on the team, review their work, and help with hiring.\nWhat we are looking for\n8+ years in forward deployed engineering, solutions engineering, technical consulting, or application development.\nExperience as the technical lead on complex customer projects, with influence beyond your own work.\nStrong skills in Python, Go, or Java, and working knowledge of TypeScript, JavaScript, and React.\nExperience shipping LLM features to production, including prompt design, evaluation, and trade-offs between latency, cost, and quality.\nStrong knowledge of OpenAPI 3.0, API design, and API security.\nExperience deploying and running distributed systems on-premises and in the cloud.\nStrong CS fundamentals: data structures, algorithms, probability, and system design.\nClear communication with engineers, clinicians, and executives, including onsite work with customer IT teams.\nNice to have\nHealthcare experience, such as HIPAA, EHR integrations, or HL7/FHIR.\nExperience with real-time or streaming systems, such as WebSockets, gRPC, or audio streaming.\nYou don't need to have done all of this. If you have done most of it and are ready to learn the rest, we want to hear from you.\nOur stack\nGCP, Kubernetes, Vertex AI, Go, Python, C++, PyTorch, JAX, gRPC, JavaScript, and a range of open and commercial LLMs.\nWhy Suki\nClinicians at health systems across the country use Suki every day.\nOur team includes former Google and Apple engineers, Stanford physicians, and healthcare veterans.\nWe are going after a $30B+ market.\nWe have raised $165M from investors including Venrock, First Round, Flare, and March Capital.\nWe have been recognized by Fast Company, Google (Partner of the Year for AI/ML), Forbes (AI 50), and Frost & Sullivan.\nSuki is an Equal Opportunity Employer. We are committed to building a team that reflects the communities we serve.\nThe details\nThis role includes onsite customer work, with travel of about 15%\nUnder California pay transparency law, the base salary range for this role in California is $225,000 to $250,000. The range does not include bonus or equity. Final pay depends on skills, experience, scope, and market data.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3776,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":8,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Speech & Audio AI","Medical AI","EHR & Clinical Software"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-11-07T00:23:40Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"US","licensed_sponsor":true,"adverts_offering_sponsorship_24m":0,"sanctioned_now":false,"evidence":"H-1B filings in 12 months: 14 · green card filings: 4","filings_12m":14,"filings_prev_12m":9,"green_card_filings_12m":4,"median_offered_wage_usd":190833,"route":null,"cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-11-07T07:57:00+00:00","sources":["US Department of Labor: LCA disclosure data (H-1B, H-1B1, E-3)","US Department of Labor: PERM disclosure data (green cards)"],"filings_for_role_12m":4}],"liveness":{"score":90,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.903,"p_room":1,"age_days":0,"expected_fill_days":31,"reasons":["conf:0","velocity","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-11-07T05:47:08Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/suki-staff-forward-deployed-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/suki-staff-forward-deployed-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-07T19:24:19Z","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":30103,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-08T00:00:00Z"}},"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":5395},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=5395"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fsuki-staff-forward-deployed-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%2Fsuki-staff-forward-deployed-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%2Fsuki-staff-forward-deployed-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/suki-staff-forward-deployed-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fsuki-staff-forward-deployed-engineer"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3899849}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"suki.ai","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3899849},"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.
