• Collaborate cross-functionally with product, design, research, and clinical teams to translate requirements into seamless, user-focused interfaces.

• Integrate with backend and AI systems through well-structured API contracts and real-time data flows.

• Drive code quality, performance, accessibility, and best practices across the frontend organization.

• Mentor engineers, shape engineering standards, and influence overall product and UI strategy.

• Stay current with emerging frontend technologies, AI-driven workflows, and design trends to enhance product capability and developer velocity.

What You Bring

Must Have:

• 5+ years of frontend engineering experience with deep expertise in TypeScript, React, and modern UI frameworks.

• Proven ability to architect scalable frontend systems and deliver high-quality, production-grade code.

• Strong understanding of design systems, component libraries, state management, and frontend performance.

• Experience integrating with RESTful APIs and collaborating effectively with backend and platform teams.

• Excellent communication, product thinking, and cross-functional collaboration skills.

• Familiarity with agile development practices and modern frontend DevOps/CI tooling.

Nice to Have:

• Experience developing and publishing cross-platform mobile apps using Flutter, React Native, or native iOS/Android SDKs.

• Hands-on experience building LLM-powered applications or integrating generative AI into production systems.

• Familiarity with backend systems (Python/Flask, Node.js, or similar) and cloud infrastructure workflows (Terraform, AWS).

If you’re a front-end engineer passionate about building beautiful, performant, AI-powered, user-facing experiences and ready to work on cutting-edge B2B products that make a real impact in healthcare, we’d love to hear from you.
