The Forward Deployed Software Engineer Internship involves working closely with business teams to design solutions and deliver value through prototyping and collaborative development.
Our mission
At Healthpeak, we give our Forward Deployed Software Engineers the autonomy of a startup with the backing, scope, and staying power of a well‑established organization. We exist to transform technology into a revenue‑generating arm of the real estate business, building products and platforms that directly support our tenants, partners, and the teams who serve them every day.
As an FDSE, you will be part of a small, agile pod and will directly embed with business teams. You will work side‑by‑side with operators, asset managers, and customer‑facing colleagues to rapidly identify opportunities, design solutions, and deliver real value. This is a hands‑on, high‑impact role for engineers who thrive close to users, enjoy ambiguity, and want to see their work make a tangible difference.
You will relentlessly prototype, test, launch, and scale new ideas—often moving from concept to production in the matter of weeks. Our first and most important customers are our peers inside Healthpeak, and our ultimate goal is to create delightful, seamless experiences for our tenants and partners by relentlessly minimizing friction.

- Strong technical problem-solving skills, including practical experience with data structures, storage systems, cloud infrastructure, front-end frameworks, and related technologies.
- Demonstrated ability to collaborate effectively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders, thriving in fast-paced environments with evolving goals and iterative user feedback.

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene
Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.
Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech
- Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
- Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
- Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
- Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
- Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
- Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
