Engineer, Backend Developer

Why you should join us

Forus is a generational opportunity to rethink how we bring new therapies to market, and our path to doing so is significantly de‑risked – we have:

• Exponential organic growth: We have product‑market fit and are growing rapidly. Forus supports thousands of new patients every day, is spreading with doctors through word‑of‑mouth, and works with the largest biopharma companies in the world.

• An AI‑first business model: Our approach is distinctly enabled by AI, but our business gets stronger (not commoditized) as foundation models improve. We are building durability through two‑sided network effects that compound over time.

• Top tier investors: With the traction to support conviction in our model, we raised significant funding from top investors (Thrive Capital, General Catalyst, and Accel) to build an exceptional team of engineers and operators.

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.

All full‑time roles are in person in New York. You can learn more about working with us in the last section of this page.

As a Growth Engineer at Tandem, you will build the systems that power how our network expands — from the infrastructure behind provider onboarding and activation to the automation systems, data pipelines, and experiments that improve conversion and engagement. You will work closely with engineering, operations, and growth to build systems and workflows that scale provider and patient growth.

This role is primarily focused on backend systems, infrastructure, and integrations that support growth. This is a hands‑on engineering role for someone who wants their code to directly influence how quickly the company grows. You’ll write production software, build internal and external tooling, integrate AI into real workflows, and build systems that support provider onboarding, activation, and engagement on the platform.

You will work closely with engineering, operations, and growth teams to identify friction, ship solutions quickly, and measure impact.

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 Tandem’s success. The ideal candidate is someone who enjoys thinking in systems, building scalable infrastructure, and solving backend growth challenges. 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.

• Build and maintain the infrastructure that powers Tandem’s network growth — including GTM systems, automation pipelines, data workflows, and AI agents

• Develop technical solutions that remove friction across provider onboarding, activation, and engagement

• Design and ship go‑to‑market tools and lightweight systems that help our growth and operations efforts move faster

• Embed AI and automation into GTM workflows to accelerate outbound, improve intelligence, and drive follow‑through

• Design and run experiments on onboarding, activation, and growth surfaces to improve conversion and adoption

• Define and build the foundations of Tandem’s go‑to‑market engineering function as the company scales

• Strong programming skills and general Computer Science knowledge

• Relevant engineering experience at fast‑growing product‑driven companies, working across APIs, data pipelines, and automation

• Strong product instincts — you know how to balance speed, reliability, and real user impact

• Familiarity with or curiosity about growth, distribution, and how GTM software systems (e.g., Clay, Hub Spot, n8n) can accelerate adoption

• Track record of moving quickly, finding shortcuts, and going to unreasonable lengths to deliver on goals

• High NPS with your former teammates

This is a list of ideal qualifications for this position. If you don't meet every single one of them, you should still consider applying! We’re excited to work with people from underrepresented backgrounds, and…
