Sample Healthcare is the fastest way for healthcare organizations to responsibly deploy AI in their operations. We help teams build custom copilots for their administrative tasks, like getting paid by health insurance, and then use the data from those copilots to fine tune task specific models.

Sample Healthcare

Sample transforms healthcare operations from a burden into a competitive advantage. The US leads the world in first launches of new treatments, yet our healthcare system sees clinicians spending 73% of their time on administrative work – we're on a mission to eliminate this friction that's choking America's engine of medical progress. We work with leading national providers, already have data from 75% of US oncology clinics, and our network is rapidly expanding across the nation.

Why this matters

Healthcare in America faces an existential challenge. As our population ages and chronic conditions multiply, clinicians and administrators shoulder an ever-growing burden under razor-thin margins. This administrative friction isn't just inefficient – it's dangerous. It leads to delayed diagnoses, missed treatments, and clinician burnout. As the pace of scientific discovery accelerates, maintaining America's role as the crucible of modern medicine depends on fixing these operational challenges.

Our product

Healthcare organizations use Sample to build custom software for their clinical teams. Defining a workflow in Sample produces a custom AI copilot to support the clinical team. These copilots don't just speed up work – they capture valuable ground-truth data that makes our models smarter over time. As providers start using Sample, they become part of a network which can support patients across their specialists and support clinical research. Our rapid growth – hitting Series A revenue metrics just 10 months from day 1 – shows we're onto something big.

The opportunity

We’re building a generational company. Deployed engineers are the lynchpin connecting our product with critical social infrastructure. As a founding member of the team, you’ll own three of the most critical areas at Sample:

1. Participating on the front lines of healthcare – using the Sample platform and your technical background to turn messy, high-stakes workflows into real results for large healthcare organizations

2. Owning customer relationships through complex integrations and organizational challenges to ensure AI is safely deployed within these organizations

3. Setting the direction for our platform through your direct experience and feedback to the platform engineering team

This role is ideal for someone excited about getting direct founder-like experience — owning customer relationships and identifying the real problems to solve. Few roles in a company come close to the Founder-level scope you’ll get as an Forward Deployed Engineer at Sample.

Who we're looking for

We're building a world-class team who are:

• Technically brilliant  – you solve hard problems with elegant solutions

• Intensely curious  – you dig deep to understand root causes, not just symptoms

• Delightful to work with  – you make the team better by being part of it

Our founders were early engineers at companies like Retool (engineer #9) and Ambience Healthcare (first employee), so we know the value of investing early in great talent.

In addition to the above, to thrive in this role you will be:

• Customer-obsessed — deeply motivated to work directly with users to understand and solve their most painful problems

• A builder — a current or former software engineer excited to ship fast and solve high-impact, real-world challenges

• Relentlessly resourceful — scrappy and outcome-driven, whether it means writing Python to unblock a workflow today or flying out to meet a user tomorrow

• An excellent communicator — you’ll be representing Sample in critical conversations with large healthcare enterprises

• Passionate about fixing healthcare — ideally with pre-existing knowledge of the healthcare industry

We're hiring  across levels , and the scope of your role will grow with your experience. We're in-person in San Francisco, and this role is core to the company’s next chapter.

We look forward to hearing from you, and if you have any questions, don't hesitate to reach out at [email protected]

Our application is built on NextJS with TypeScript. We also run services in a FastAPI Python server with custom & foundation language models.
