Job description

A Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE) at Idoven is a rare combination: a technically strong engineer who thrives at the intersection of tech and client. You will be embedded — sometimes literally — in our most critical client accounts, helping them integrate, configure, and scale Idoven's AI platform within their own infrastructure and clinical workflows.

This is not a support role. You will be a technical advisor, integration partner, and trusted problem-solver for clients like global medtech companies and pharma running large-scale clinical programs. You will work directly with client engineering and clinical teams, attend key meetings, and make implementation decisions on the ground — then bring those learnings back to shape Idoven's product and roadmap.

What You’ll Do

• Lead technical integration projects with strategic clients: understand their infrastructure, design integration architectures, and drive implementations to completion.
• Customize and configure Idoven's platform for client-specific clinical use cases and deployment environments.
• Diagnose and resolve complex technical issues in live client environments — sometimes under time pressure.
• Attend client meetings alongside commercial and clinical teams; provide technical credibility and translate AI capabilities into clinical and business value.
• Build integration documentation, technical runbooks, and reusable assets that enable clients to scale without constant Idoven involvement.
• Act as a feedback loop: surface product gaps, integration challenges, and technical debt back to Idoven's engineering and product teams.
• Collaborate with the solutions engineering and clinical teams to improve the platform's scalability and configurability.

Qualifications

• +5 years of a mix of solutions engineering experience and client facing roles in Medtech, with a track record of delivering in client-facing or production environments.
• Comfortable working directly with clients: able to lead, present, explain technical concepts to non-technical audiences, and build trust quickly.
• Curiosity and fluency in the healthcare or clinical domain — you don't need to be a cardiologist, but you need to understand what a hospital's IT team is dealing with and why it matters clinically.
• Solid technical skills: Python and/or backend development, APIs, cloud infrastructure, and data pipelines.
• Autonomous problem-solver: when something breaks in a client environment, you own it until it's fixed.
• Fluency in Spanish and English.
• Background in healthcare AI, digital health, or SaMD required.

Nice to Have

• Experience at a company with a forward deployed, solutions, or professional services model (e.g., Palantir, Salesforce, or similar).
• Familiarity with FHIR, HL7, DICOM, or healthcare interoperability standards.
• Experience working with ECG, cardiac monitoring, or clinical trial data platforms.
• Exposure to clinical or regulatory environments (CE marking, FDA, MDR).

Benefits

• Be part of one of the most disruptive startups in HealthTech and AI and make a difference.
• Personal and professional growth as part of a fast-growing, international team.
• No corners cut in having the best tech equipment to do your job.
• Unlimited remote working environment, where you can choose to work from home and attend our Madrid office whenever you want to.
• Learning and development opportunities and training budget.
• Flexible Remuneration.
• Health Insurance covered by IDOVEN.
• Access to Wellhub (Gympass), empowering your physical and mental wellness.
• Remote Work Allowance for your home office setup.
• 23 holidays, your birthday off, and December 24th and 31st half days to celebrate.
• Regular team events and Thursday happy hours.
• And much more!
