What are the responsibilities and job description for the Forward Deployed Engineer position at Clera?
About The Role
A fast-growing, pre-seed healthtech SaaS company based in Miami is looking for a Forward Deployed Engineer to join their small, high-velocity team. This company builds an integrated platform that automates and streamlines staffing operations for healthcare groups — spanning payroll, scheduling, credentialing, performance tracking, and AI-powered clinical documentation for urgent cares and emergency departments.
In this role, you'll work directly at the intersection of engineering and customer success — translating clinical and operational needs into shipped software, and traveling on-site to work alongside customers. This is an ideal role for an early-career engineer who is a strong builder, communicates well, and thrives in a customer-facing environment.
This is a fully on-site role in Miami, FL. Candidates from anywhere in the US are welcome to apply — relocation support is available. Frequent domestic travel is required for customer engagements.
What You'll Do
Required:
Miami, FL (on-site). Candidates relocating from anywhere in the US are encouraged to apply. This role involves frequent travel across the US for customer engagements. Remote and visa-sponsored candidates cannot be accommodated at this time.
