Forus Engineering Manager at Forus leads a team owning core infrastructure connecting scientific innovation and patient care. This role involves coding, design review, architecture decisions, and team development to scale market demand.
Responsibilities
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
Life Sciences Engineering - Build products with leading biopharma companies to help innovative medicines reach more patients. We have more customer demand and product opportunities than we can pursue, so the work starts with deciding where technology can create the most value and build the biggest businesses, then building with customers and turning the best ideas into products that scale across medicines and companies. Over time, we are working toward becoming a critical technology and execution layer across the full lifecycle of medicine
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 your team's outcomes end to end, from problem definition and technical design through launch and whether it creates measurable value for users and the business
Stay hands-on, writing and reviewing production code, leading architecture decisions, and taking on hard or ambiguous problems yourself when that is the fastest path forward
Hire, source, sell, close, and onboard engineers, and own the bar for your team; Recruiting is a first-order part of this job
Develop the engineers on your team; Set clear expectations, give direct feedback, and make people meaningfully better than they were when they arrived
