Forward Deployed Engineer (m/f/d)

At praxipal, we are building an AI-powered healthcare admin workforce to address the global shortage of medical staff.

Medical assistants are too valuable to spend their days chasing callbacks, cleaning up schedules, sending repetitive messages, or wrestling with invoicing and documentation workflows. Staff should spend time on patients. That’s why we build Luna.

Our AI receptionist, Luna, answers and automates phone calls and she’s loved by more than 100 medical practices. Right now, we’re expanding her from calls to end-to-end patient communication across any channel. Over the next years, we’ll grow her into an AI worker that automates all administrative processes in medical practices, embedded directly into the systems teams already use.

We’re backed by one of Europe’s leading investors and are one of the fastest growing healthtech startups in Germany. Our team has previously worked and studied at Palantir, Amazon, SAP, the University of Cambridge, and Hasso Plattner Institute.

We are hiring a Forward Deployed Engineer to take technical ownership of our most important customer deployments.

This is a hands-on role with end-to-end responsibility for customer deployments and technical success.

You will work directly with a subset of our customers, configure and customize our product to their specific environments, and ensure that Luna works reliably in real-world healthcare settings. You will also build automations and internal tooling that allow the forward deployed engineering team to onboard customers faster and more reliably over time.

This role sits at the intersection of engineering, product, and customer reality.

The role is on-site in Berlin and requires fluent German.
