Senior Forward Deployed Software Engineer

WHAT YOU'LL DO AT H1

We're looking for a Senior Forward Deployed Software Engineer to take ownership of our strategic enterprise pharma accounts and define how H1 scales this function. Currently, we're reliant on external Salesforce vendors, but we need to build and own this capability in-house to control our roadmap, maintain strategic relationships, and expand from single-customer to multi-customer model. You'll drive feature development on Salesforce Life Sciences Cloud (Engage 360), own end-to-end customer implementations, and serve as the technical advisor for our marquee pharma clients. You'll work in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment where you're constantly translating what clients need into what's technically feasible, and finding the optimal path when the ideal solution isn't possible.

ABOUT YOU

• You have 5+ years of hands-on Salesforce consulting with proven expertise in real feature development, customization (Apex, Flows, Lightning Components), and customer implementations—not just requirements-gathering
• You're a strong engineer in Python and Airflow with real-world ETL pipeline experience. You understand data transformations, data modeling, SQL optimization, and can work with diverse data sources and structures
• You thrive in consulting-style engagements where you're translating client needs into technical solutions. You've worked directly with demanding enterprise customers and know how to manage complex stakeholders and deliver under constraints
• You're comfortable with ambiguity and skilled at bridging the gap between business needs and technical reality. You can explain trade-offs clearly and define feasible solutions when the ideal path isn't obvious
• You operate with high autonomy and own relationships end-to-end. You're someone we can trust to handle enterprise account calls independently and make technical decisions that shape our client strategy
