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:

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.

What you'd do

Own meaningful technical problems from an ambiguous idea through design, implementation, and production
Ship production code that directly impacts providers, patients, and life sciences partners.
Help decide what to build, not just how to build it, by working closely with users and developing your own product intuition
Build product features, AI-powered systems, life sciences products, internal tools, or engineering infrastructure, depending on where you can have the greatest impact
Work directly with engineering, product, design, operations, and company leadership while learning how a world-class engineering organization operates and scales
Be treated and measured like a full engineer, with the ownership, code review, and quality bar to match

What they want

Strong computer science fundamentals and programming ability, currently pursuing a degree in Computer Science or a related technical field
A track record of building things outside the classroom, whether through internships, research, startups, hackathons, open-source contributions, or side projects
Strong product instincts. You form opinions about what is worth building and can distinguish what is valuable from what is merely possible
The ability and willingness to work wherever the problem is, whether frontend, backend, infrastructure, AI, or something entirely new
A track record of moving quickly, finding shortcuts, and going to unreasonable lengths to deliver on goals
High NPS with your former teammates and classmates
Do the math. Be rigorous, assume nothing. Break problems down and reason from the ground up. Stay open to changing your mind.
Resourceful optimism. Assume problems are solvable. Be audacious. Resist false constraints and push beyond the obvious before deciding.
Spit it out. Speak directly, invite critique, avoid equivocation. We want right answers, not comfortable ones. All killer, no filler.
Raise the bar. Hold a high standard for your pace and execution, and elevate the performance of the team around you. Mamba mentality.
