Software Engineer, Developer Productivity

About Us Forus is building an AI-powered network that connects doctors, pharmacies, payers, and biopharma to accelerate new science to patients. Our platform automates the complexity between a doctor prescribing a medicine and a patient starting treatment, including insurance coverage, financial assistance, and supply chain navigation. We provide this support free to doctors and patients, helping them get life-changing medicine faster, cheaper, and easier. The resulting network enables biopharma companies to design better research, launch new drugs more effectively, and invest in harder-to-treat conditions.

Forus has exceptional product-market fit and is growing rapidly through organic adoption:

• Accelerating scale: We already support patients across more than 80% of ZIP codes and partner with 5 of the 10 largest biopharma companies in the world.
• AI-native, durable model: Our business becomes stronger as AI improves, as every new doctor, patient, and partner makes the network more valuable.
• Backing to build for the long term: We raised $160M+ from leading investors to build an exceptional team and unlock the full scale of the opportunity.

Our number one priority is scaling to market demand. We are looking for individuals who are high horsepower, high throughput, and hyper resourceful to help us increase capacity and grow. We move fast and need to move faster.

If we succeed, science will be the only limit to medicine. All full-time roles are in person in New York. About The Role As a Software Engineer, Developer Productivity at Forus, you will own the systems that determine how fast our entire engineering team ships. Velocity is one of Forus’ core advantages, and this role exists to compound it. You will own the CI/CD, operational workflows, build systems, and development environments that every engineer depends on, and the infrastructure that lets us build with AI coding agents rather than around them.

You will operate across the whole engineering org: owning the path from commit to production, designing the infrastructure that lets coding agents work safely and effectively in our codebase, automating the toil that slows everyone down, and driving company-wide adoption of agentic development. You will define what “fast” means at Forus, instrument it, and be measured on real outcomes: faster feedback loops, faster onboarding, and more shipped per engineer. It is a high-leverage, high-context seat that touches every team and directly shapes how quickly we can build.

This is a demanding role, with a high level of autonomy and responsibility. You will be expected to “act like an owner” and commit yourself to Forus’ success. If you are low-ego, hungry to learn, and excited about intense, impactful work that drives both company growth and accelerated career progression, we want to hear from you.

If you join, you will

• Own our CI/CD, operational workflows, and build systems, including pipelines, deployment automation, and development environments, so the path from commit to production is fast and reliable
• Build the infrastructure that lets coding agents operate effectively in our codebase, including sandboxed execution, systems that give agents accurate context about our code, and CI that validates agent-generated changes
• Design and ship production tooling that automates engineering toil across the whole team: refactors, migrations, dependency upgrades, test generation, and PR triage
• Drive company-wide adoption of AI-assisted and agentic development, defining the golden paths, templates, and standards for how Forus builds
• Build the eval and guardrail systems that let us trust and measure what our agents ship
• Establish the metrics that show whether we are getting faster, including CI health, time to first pull request, deploy frequency, and agent-merge success
• Partner with engineers across the team to surface friction and turn recurring pain into scalable systems

We’ll be most excited if you have

• Experience building developer tooling, internal platforms, or CI/CD and development-environment infrastructure that other engineers depend on
• Strong systems and infrastructure instincts – you write production code, live in your terminal, and instinctively build reusable tools; strong Python and Bash/Unix skills
• Gone deep on modern agentic development yourself (Claude Code, Codex, or similar) and want to productize that leverage for a team…
