Forus is a generational opportunity to rethink how we bring new therapies to market, and our path to doing so is significantly de-risked – we have:
Exponential organic growth: We have product-market fit and are growing rapidly. Forus supports thousands of new patients every day, is spreading with doctors through word-of-mouth, and works with the largest biopharma companies in the world.
An AI-first business model: Our approach is distinctly enabled by AI, but our business gets stronger (not commoditized) as foundation models improve. We are building durability through two-sided network effects that compound over time.
Top tier investors: With the traction to support conviction in our model, we raised significant funding from top investors (Thrive Capital, General Catalyst, and Accel) to build an exceptional team of engineers and operators.
Our number one priority is scaling to market demand. We are looking for individuals who are high horsepower, high throughput, and hyper resourceful to help us increase capacity and grow. We move fast and need to move faster.
All full-time roles are in person in New York. You can learn more about working with us in the last section of this page.
As an Infrastructure Engineer at Forus, you’ll be our first dedicated hire focused on infrastructure and developer experience. You’ll own and evolve the core systems that make our engineering team faster, our platform more reliable, and our company more scalable. This role sits at the foundation of everything we build — from AI product development to partner integrations to high-stakes, high-throughput operations.
You’ll have the opportunity to define our foundational infra practices — from CI/CD to observability to cloud architecture — and set the tone for how we scale. You’ll work across infrastructure, DevOps, and developer productivity, building systems that let us move fast without compromising stability or clarity.
This is a demanding role, with a high level of autonomy and responsibility. You will be expected to "act like an owner" and commit yourself to Forus' success. If you are low-ego, hungry to learn, and excited about intense, impactful work that drives both company growth and accelerated career progression, we want to hear from you.

Forus is based in New York, with our full team working out of a beautiful and spacious office in SoHo.
We run as a high-trust environment with high autonomy, which requires that everyone is fully competent and operates in line with our principles:
Do the math. Be rigorous, assume nothing. Break problems down and reason from the ground up.
Expand the solution space. Be resourceful and audacious. Resist false constraints and push beyond the obvious before committing.
Spit it out. Speak directly, invite critique, avoid equivocation. We want right answers, not comfortable ones.
Raise the bar together. Hold a high standard for execution, push each other directly, and win as a team.
We provide competitive compensation with meaningful equity (for full-time employees). Everyone who joins early will be a major contributor to our success, and we reflect this through ownership and pay.
We also provide rich benefits to ensure you can focus on creating impact (for full-time employees):
Fully covered medical, vision, and dental insurance.
Memberships for One Medical, Talkspace, Teladoc, and Kindbody.
Unlimited paid time off (PTO) and 16 weeks of parental leave.
401K plan setup, FSA option, commuter benefits, and DashPass.

Our salary ranges are based on paying competitively for our company’s size and industry, and are one part of the total compensation package that also includes equity, benefits, and other opportunities at Forus (for full-time employees). Individual pay decisions are ultimately based on a number of factors, including qualifications for the role, experience level, skillset, geography, and balancing internal equity.
