About the role
Forward Deployed Engineer at Terra API, responsible for architecting, integrating, and delivering health data solutions inside customers' stacks. Acts as the technical bridge between Terra's platform and strategic accounts, building integrations, SDKs, and reference implementations while ensuring HIPAA/GDPR compliance and real-time data pipelines.
Responsibilities
- Design integration architectures for complex health data use cases — determining which Terra endpoints, webhook configurations, and data models map to the customer's product requirements.
- Write production code in the customer's environment: building webhook consumers, data transformation layers, authentication flows, and retry logic against Terra's API.
- Debug across the full stack — from device sync issues to webhook schema discrepancies and data pipeline edge cases.
- Own the technical relationship with 3–5 strategic accounts simultaneously, serving as their dedicated Terra expert from pre-sales scoping through production go-live and beyond.
- Translate field learnings into product improvements with the engineering team to fix platform-level issues.
- Build reference implementations, SDKs, and sample apps to ease Terra's API adoption for developers.
- Scope and qualify technical requirements during the sales cycle — assess use case fit, API call volumes, and integration timelines.
Qualifications
- 3+ years building software with direct experience designing and consuming REST APIs at scale.
- Experience owning integrations end-to-end: auth flows (OAuth 2.0, API keys), webhook architectures, error handling, retry logic, idempotency.
- Strong in Python or JavaScript/TypeScript — able to prototype webhook consumers, build SDK wrappers, or debug customer data pipelines quickly.
- Direct experience working with customers or partners in a technical capacity and translating issues into root causes and fixes.
- Ability to context-switch between five different customer architectures in a week without losing depth.
