About Anterior:

Anterior is on a mission to transform healthcare administration, making it seamless and invisible so clinicians can focus on delivering care. We’ve built an AI-powered platform designed by clinicians, for clinicians, to simplify administrative workflows and improve patient outcomes. By combining clinical expertise with cutting‑edge technology, we’re revolutionizing healthcare operations with responsible AI.

We're growing rapidly and are backed by world-class investors including Sequoia, New Enterprise Associates (NEA), and Neo along with notable angels including the founders of Deep Mind, Google AI, and Inflection AI
. You can learn more about us here.

You have a passion for doing things The Right Way, you believe Less is More, you want to focus on foundations of system design and architecture (pacelc, consistency guarantees), you care as much about the code you do not write, you’re tired of the hype treadmill and care about the fundamentals. You have battle scars from overengineered and underperforming slop, and you care about writing code that lasts.

We’re hiring from infra to frontend, there is room all the way up and down the stack. Come share your proudest firefighting story with us in an interview, bring your Git Hub, and let’s see if we’re a good fit. (If you’re a junior passionate about coding and hacking: it’s always ok to apply, shoot us a link to some of your work and let’s talk anyway)

Forward Deployed Engineers work directly with our end customers owning strategy and execution. Your responsibilities look similar to that of a hands‑on AI startup CTO: you’ll work in a small team to own delivery of high stakes projects with clients. A day’s work may include:

• Delivering solutions end to end that meet the needs of our customers - understanding user pain points, scoping product specs, and designing and building LLM‑powered software
• Documenting real‑world healthcare workflows and translating them into Agents and Tasks in Anterior’s platform
• Writing evals for customers to identify weaknesses and drive improvements
• Analyze request logs, read through prompt data, debug event streams
• Build internal tooling to automate yourself out of the job
• Improving Anterior SDKs or developer documentation based on customer feedback

• Langs:
  Python / Go / TS, React (and HTMX if you can help!)
• Infra:
  Nix, CDKTF, AWS

This is an opportunity to join the formative stages of a company that is working with cutting‑edge technology to have a meaningful impact in healthcare. We’re at an exciting inflection point, and you will be working with a world‑class team, will hold significant responsibility, and will be given the opportunity to learn and grow rapidly.

We take pride in our strong apprenticeship and coaching culture. We expect our early hires to become leaders both within our company and across the industry. You’ll be given a lot of responsibility and the opportunity for rapid growth.
