## Job Description

## What You’ll Do
* Own healthcare customer engagements end-to-end
* Lead customer-facing technical work from initial scoping through implementation, delivery, and post-delivery support.
* Become the primary technical partner for assigned healthcare customers.
* Build trusted relationships with customer engineering and technical teams.
* Manage multiple concurrent healthcare engagements while maintaining delivery quality and customer confidence.
* Build custom solutions for complex customer needs
* Develop and deploy integrations, data transformations, and applications that solve customer-specific challenges.
* Navigate customer technical environments and adapt Protege’s platform capabilities to real-world deployment constraints.
* Translate ambiguous customer needs into clear technical plans, delivery milestones, and practical implementation paths.
* Bridge customer needs with product and platform capabilities
* Identify where customer-specific work points to repeatable product opportunities.
* Surface actionable product feedback based on implementation patterns, customer pain points, and delivery blockers.
* Partner with product and engineering to turn bespoke solutions into reusable platform capabilities where appropriate.
* Operate with strong healthcare data judgment
* Handle healthcare data environments with appropriate care, including PHI and regulatory considerations.
* Make sound technical decisions in complex, regulated settings.
* Communicate clearly with customers and internal teams about tradeoffs, risks, dependencies, and implementation choices.
* Create reusable delivery leverage
* Contribute playbooks, tooling, templates, and best practices that improve future healthcare deal execution.
* Document repeatable patterns and lessons from customer engagements.
* Help Protege move faster over time by turning one-off implementation work into reusable delivery assets.

## What You Bring
* Experience in software engineering, solution architecture, forward deployed engineering, technical implementation, or a similar customer-facing technical role.
* Ability to own customer engagements from scoping through delivery and support.
* Strong technical execution across custom solutions, integrations, data transformations, and/or applications.
* Comfort operating in healthcare data environments, including sensitivity to PHI and regulatory considerations.
* Strong customer-facing communication and ability to build trust with technical stakeholders.
* Ability to bridge customer needs with product and platform capabilities.
* High ownership, adaptability, and comfort operating in ambiguous, fast-moving environments.
* Bias toward creating reusable systems, playbooks, tooling, and best practices rather than solving the same problem repeatedly.
