About the Company
Penguin Ai: Were Not Just Building AI, Were Revolutionizing Healthcare. Seeking a Trailblazing Forward Deployed Engineer!
Your Mission: AI Translator. Relationship Architect. Customer Facing Data Scientist. Launch Champion. Problem-Solving Warrior.
Who We Are: The Penguin Ai Rebellion!
We’re not your average AI company - and we don’t want average teammates. Penguin Ai was founded by healthcare veterans who knew the system needed more than hype and half-baked algorithms. We built an AI platform that actually works in healthcare - across Prior Auth, HCC Coding, and all those soul-crushing workflows no one brags about. Our platform is fast to implement (think: 60 days), reduces administrative costs up to 40%, and makes payers look like heroes without writing a line of code.
This is AI for the real world of healthcare. And just to put a fine point on it: powerhouses like Snowflake and AWS dont just partner with anyone. Their trust in our platform speaks volumes about our robust, scalable, and secure technology.
Our audacious vision was first ignited by our CEO Fawad Butt, whose leadership as Chief Data Officer at both Optum and Kaiser Permanente gave him oversight of healthcare data representing nearly 75% of American lives. So, he didnt just see the problem; he lived it. Fawad understood that healthcare AI couldnt be a bandage - it had to be a purpose-built, battle-ready solution, meticulously crafted for the intricate, human-first world of medicine, not some hastily retrofitted industry software.
So with Fawad, who else is steering this iceberg? A dream team boasting over 150 years of combined, hard-won healthcare experience! Were talking about heavy hitters like Kishore, Nate, Niki and Dan… who all bring different successes & expertise from AI & healthcare. These arent just impressive resumes; theyre the architects and masterminds behind a platform that doesnt just process data – it genuinely understands healthcares pulse.
Were growing faster than a penguin on a waterslide and on the hunt for customer-obsessed problem-solvers to help our clients unlock the full potential of their AI investments!
This isn’t some futuristic sci-fi movie set, this is AI for the real, gritty, essential world of healthcare where speed & data matter.
