Forward Deployed Engineer

At Parallel, we build AI agents that help healthcare organizations automate their administrative processes and unlock additional revenue, starting with medical coding.

Today, up to 25% of healthcare spending is lost to manual, repetitive administrative tasks. Legacy software hasn't helped: it has made work slower, more complex and more frustrating for care teams.

We believe AI agents can change this. Our technology combines large language models with system-level automation to do real work inside existing hospital tools. No integration, no disruption.

Our first agent automates coding and frees up time for medical teams to focus on patients.

We launched in 2024 and already have 800+ customers and a team of 30+ people. We are backed by top-tier investors (Index Ventures, Y Combinator, Hexa, Frst, Kima Ventures, Better Angle and the CEO of Mistral AI), and this is just the beginning.

The future of healthcare isn't just digital, it's automated. Come help us build it!

Context

Parallel is a healthcare platform deploying AI, RPA, and computer use solutions across healthcare facilities. We need someone capable of technically leading these deployments on the ground, adapting to real-world environments and the specific constraints of each facility.

Your mission

Be the technical interface between the Parallel platform and our clients. Technically lead end-to-end deployments by understanding each facility's IT infrastructure, adapt our platform to their constraints (interfaces, integrations, security, network architecture, on-prem deployments), and unblock projects by getting hands-on with the product when needed.

Outcomes

• Successful and stabilized Parallel deployments at client sites
• Technical adaptations and integrations tailored to each facility
• Rapid upskilling on our AI stacks, RPA/computer use, interoperability, and on-prem infrastructure
• Identification and resolution of technical and organizational blockers
• Clients supported through change management and able to use Parallel effectively
• Progressive definition of our deployment standards

This job is for you if

• You have 5+ years of full-stack experience
• You're strong in Node.js & TypeScript (NestJS, Express, Prisma, Postgres) and React (TanStack, Tailwind)
• You've played with LLMs and AI agents — whether on side projects or professionally (LangChain, Hugging Face)
• You enjoy working directly with clients
• You thrive in complex, non-standardized environments
• You have a strong ability to quickly understand problems, take ownership, and find pragmatic solutions
• You're an engineer with a field/customer mindset (not a pure consultant or project manager)

Hiring process

• Call with our recruiting team
• Quick call with Chris, our CTO
• Case study at our Paris office
• Meeting with Paul, our CEO

Why should you join us?

• Real traction. Seed and Series A closed in under a year, with Index Ventures on the cap table. This isn't a maybe — it's a company that's moving.
• A problem worth solving. Cutting hospital admin directly gives time back to care teams. The impact is tangible.
• A genuinely different technical approach. Agents that work on top of existing systems without heavy integration is a real competitive edge — and you'll be the one building it.
• A team that has done it before. The founders have built and scaled before (Hublo, Meta, McKinsey). High standards, low ego.
• Actual ownership. You won't be handed a backlog. You'll co-build the architecture and set the engineering culture from the ground up.
• Competitive salary and equity package, premium health insurance (Alan), Swile meal vouchers, latest Apple equipment, Paris office (Strasbourg Saint-Denis).
• Flexibility: on average one day of remote work per week, and one remote week per year.

We care about who you are, not just what's on your CV.

If you're drawn to what we're building but don't meet every requirement, we still want to hear from you. Studies show that women in particular tend to apply only when they meet 100% of the criteria. If that's you, please don't let that hold you back. We'd love to receive your application.
