About Us
Lyrebird Health builds AI tools that reduce the administrative burden on clinicians and improve the quality and accessibility of healthcare. Our platform is used daily by thousands of clinicians across multiple disciplines and continues to scale across markets including the UK.
As we grow, we’re focused on building technology that is reliable, clinically safe, and capable of operating at national scale.

This role sits at the intersection of engineering, product, and customer delivery. You’ll lead the UK Forward Deployed Engineering team while staying close to the technical work, including integrations, deployment architecture, and complex production issues.
Your job is to translate what’s been sold into something that works reliably in production. That means defining integration approaches, sequencing deployments across customers, and ensuring implementation work strengthens the core platform rather than creating one-off solutions.

- Translate commercial agreements into clear technical implementation plans

- Drive progress across multiple active customer deployments
- Ensure systems reach production safely and predictably
- Surface delivery risks early and communicate clearly with stakeholders
- Lead and develop the UK Forward Deployed Engineering team
- Set clear milestones and technical standards across deployments
- Partner with Sales to validate technical feasibility before deals are committed
- Work closely with Customer Delivery on rollout sequencing and adoption
- Act as the senior technical voice in complex customer conversations
- Ensure integrations meet strong production standards including observability, environment separation, and rollback capability
- Escalate systemic product gaps back to the core engineering team
What You'll Bring
- Experience in forward deployed, solutions, or customer-facing engineering roles
- Experience leading engineers or technical project teams
- Strong integration experience across APIs, data flows, and production systems
- Experience operating in regulated environments such as healthcare or finance
- A track record of managing multiple technical deployments in parallel
- Strong delivery discipline and ownership mindsetGood judgment when balancing scope, timelines, and trade-offs

We’re building a team that reflects the diversity of the people who’ll benefit from our work. We want Lyrebird to be a place where everyone feels safe, supported, and able to thrive.

What you need to know about the Belfast Tech Scene
If asked to name the birthplace of the RMS Titanic, you might not say Belfast. Similarly, if asked to name Europe's leading destination for foreign direct investment in new software development, Belfast might not come to mind. Yet, both are true. The city has emerged as a tech powerhouse, recently ranked among the best in the U.K. for tech careers — especially for software developers. It also leads the U.K. with the highest percentage of software development jobs advertised.
