About Bask Health
Bask Health is a software platform that enables entrepreneurs, doctors, and healthcare businesses to launch, manage, and grow direct-to-consumer telehealth businesses.
Our platform brings together patient experiences, clinical workflows, pharmacy operations, and commerce tools in one place.
We're an entrepreneurial, product-focused engineering team that values ownership, technical excellence, and building software that solves real problems. Engineers work closely with product teams and company leadership, take features from idea to production, and have a direct role in shaping the platform.
Engineering at Bask is AI-first and builder-led. We use tools like Cursor and Claude Code throughout development while maintaining high standards for reliability, testing, and software quality.
About the Role
We're looking for a Senior Forward Deployed Engineer, AI & Automation to design, build, and deploy AI-powered solutions and automated workflows across Bask Health's platform.
This role sits at the intersection of software engineering, artificial intelligence, and real-world business operations. You'll work closely with engineering, product, and operational teams to identify opportunities where AI and automation can simplify complex processes, improve efficiency, and create better experiences for merchants and internal users.
You'll be responsible for taking AI and automation initiatives from initial discovery through production. That includes understanding existing workflows, evaluating technical approaches, building integrations, developing backend services, and ensuring solutions are reliable, secure, and maintainable.
Unlike a traditional AI research role, this position is focused on applying existing AI technologies to practical engineering problems. You'll integrate large language models, build automated workflows, connect external systems, and develop production-ready software that delivers measurable operational value.
You'll also help establish reusable engineering patterns for AI-powered features, including monitoring, testing, evaluation, error handling, and appropriate human oversight.
We're looking for someone who enjoys working directly with stakeholders, understands how to turn ambiguous business problems into working software, and can balance rapid experimentation with strong production engineering standards.
What You'll Do
Design, develop, and deploy AI-powered applications and workflow automation solutions across Bask Health.
Work directly with product, engineering, and operational stakeholders to understand business processes and identify automation opportunities.
Translate complex operational requirements into scalable technical solutions.
Build production-ready integrations with large language models and external AI services.
Develop backend services, APIs, and automation tools using TypeScript, Node.js, or comparable technologies.
Integrate AI capabilities into existing platform features and internal operational systems.
Build automated workflows that connect multiple applications, APIs, and data sources.
Develop AI-assisted tools that help teams complete repetitive or complex tasks more efficiently.
Implement structured outputs, tool calling, and function execution within AI-powered applications.
Design workflows that combine deterministic business logic with AI-driven capabilities.
Build reliable integrations with third-party services using REST APIs, webhooks, and event-driven architectures.
Develop systems for processing, transforming, and routing information between connected services.
Evaluate opportunities to automate merchant onboarding, operational processes, and administrative workflows.
Build reusable components and engineering patterns for future AI and automation initiatives.
Implement validation, safeguards, and human-review steps for sensitive or high-impact workflows.
Develop evaluation and testing strategies for AI-powered functionality.
Monitor AI application performance,…
