Engineering Manager

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 an Engineering Manager at Forus, you will lead a team that owns a core part of the infrastructure between scientific innovation and patient care. This is a technical player-coach role: you will write code, review designs, make architecture calls, and take on hard technical problems alongside your team, while also owning who is on the team, how they develop, the quality and pace of what they build, and ultimately whether their work moves the business.

The engineering problems at Forus span user-facing product, complex backend systems, AI and agents, data, and enterprise deployment. Our software has to absorb enormous variation across providers, medicines, payers, pharmacies, clinical systems, and enterprise environments; reason over messy information; interact with systems we do not control; and reliably execute real-world workflows where the happy path is rarely the only path.

We are currently hiring managers across three areas:

- Provider Product & Growth - Build the core product providers and their staff use every day and drive its adoption, activation, engagement, expansion, and organic growth. The challenge is making an extremely complicated underlying system feel simple while supporting everyone from independent practices to some of the largest provider organizations in the country

- Core Platform & Automation - Build the backend systems that power Forus and execute the work behind every prescription, spanning workflow and state systems, integrations, data and document infrastructure, operational tooling, and AI- and agent-powered subsystems. The challenge is building reliable software across long-running, branching workflows with enormous real-world variation and external systems that frequently behave unpredictably
