Forward Deployed Engineer

At Atrix, our journey began with a simple belief:

Breakthrough medicines and technologies change lives, and the people making them deserve better tools.

We often celebrate the final moment: a patient receiving a life-saving therapy or a groundbreaking treatment becoming standard of care.

But behind that moment is a complex, coordinated effort that begins years earlier.

Pharmaceutical and med device companies shoulder this responsibility every day:

• Advancing science from lab to clinic
• Navigating regulatory and access barriers
• Ensuring safe, evidence-based adoption in the real world

They're not just bringing products to market; they're shaping the future of care.

Yet these organizations are often held back by outdated workflows and siloed data, unable to fully harness the knowledge that already exists across their teams.

Atrix was built to change that.

We exist to support the mission of those who dedicate their lives to creating and delivering innovations that impact global health.

The Role Description

As a Forward Deployed Engineer, you will sit at the intersection of
engineering, implementation, and customer value
. You'll partner directly with enterprise pharma and biotech teams to turn complex scientific workflows into reliable, AI-powered systems that accelerate evidence generation, medical strategy, commercial insights, and patient impact.

You will become the technical owner of several key customer accounts, embedding deeply into their workflows, translating their needs into structured requirements, configuring Atrix's AI-native platform, and ensuring accuracy, trust, and real-world reliability.

This is one of the most impactful roles at Atrix.

You'll see your work used daily by medical, clinical, and commercial teams making high-stakes decisions.

You'll work closely with our
Engineering Team and CEO
, and collaborate as a peer to product, design, and GTM leadership. As one of our
earliest FDEs
, you'll help define technical architecture, influence product strategy, and set the tone for future engineering hires.

This is an
hybrid role based in NYC (ability to be in office is required)
, with flexibility for remote work on some days as needed.
