Job description

About Readily

Readily is building the compliance layer for every healthcare company. Billion-dollar insurers and health plans turn to Readily to analyze regulations, conduct audits, and automate compliance research with AI. We’re the fastest-growing company in this space — tripling revenue QoQ. And we’re just getting started. There’s an old Yorkshire saying: “Where there’s muck, there’s brass.” Healthcare compliance is messy. But in that mess lies an enormous opportunity. If you’re hungry to take ownership and build systems that matter, this is it.

The Role

We’re hiring a Forward-Deployed Engineer to join our founding team in building the future of healthcare compliance AI. You’ll be the technical bridge between our core engineering team and our customers - owning projects end-to-end and transforming billion-dollar health plans from PDF/Excel to production AI agents that makes an immediate impact. You’ll work directly with the customers, owning their AI transformation end-to-end. You’ll sit with executives and operators at billion-dollar healthcare organizations strategizing and leading implementation. You’ll have founder-level ownership, shaping core products, prototyping new AI-driven features, and sitting in on customer calls to see your work make an immediate impact. Own the customer and the product — not just code. 10× impact vs big tech.

What You’ll Do

• Own and ship full-stack product features (React, Node/Python, Postgres).
• Lead implementations: integrations, data pipelines, onboarding, training.
• Troubleshoot live issues, harden reliability/security, and iterate fast from customer feedback.
• Translate customer problems into clear specs; feed insights into the roadmap.
• Own outcomes: prototype → launch → measure impact with tight loops across Product, Eng, and GTM.

What We’re Looking For

• Strong across frontend + backend: React, Node.js/Python, Postgres.
• Hunger: High agency, a willingness to learn, and a drive to do whatever it takes.
• Customer-obsessed: unsolved user issues keep you awake at night.
• Intellectually humble: low ego, high curiosity, collaborative.
• Biased toward action: You act, you don't wait.

Why Join Readily

• True founding-team ownership.
• Career-defining experience: ship products that rewrite how the industry works.
• Front-row to closing deals with billion-dollar enterprises.
• Hyper-growth environment (3× QoQ — you’ll feel it).
• A real chance to fix healthcare’s most expensive problem with AI.
• Weekly pickleball 🏓 + a team that loves to win together.

If you want true ownership and fix healthcare from its roots - we’d love to talk.
