Engineering Intern (Spring/Summer '27)

About the role

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 85% of ZIP codes and partner with 9 of top 15 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 $300M+ 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 Engineering Intern at Forus, you will join our engineering team as an engineer, not as an observer. From your first weeks, you’ll ship production code, own meaningful technical problems, and build software that helps providers, patients, and life sciences organizations bring innovative therapies to more patients.

Unlike a traditional internship, you’ll work on the same systems as our full-time engineers and contribute to the same codebase, engineering reviews, and technical discussions. You’ll work directly with experienced engineers, the head of engineering, and the CEO on some of the company’s highest-priority technical challenges, whether that’s provider-facing products, AI systems, life sciences platforms, growth acceleration, or infrastructure. This isn’t an internship spent building internal demos or isolated side projects. You will help build the platform that sits between scientific innovation and patient treatment, working on the products and AI systems that providers and biopharma depend on every day.

We invest in exceptional interns differently than most companies. Many stay with us across multiple semesters, take on increasing ownership as they grow, and some receive return offers and start vesting equity before they graduate. We think the best engineers should start building their careers early, and we’re looking for people we hope will help define Forus for years to come.
