In-Person Collaboration – Two days a week in the San Francisco office (Mission Bay) to connect with the team and move quickly on what matters.
Job Details
We are seeking an exceptional Frontend Engineer (Founding) to take ownership of our frontend architecture and drive the development of our patient and caregiver-facing web application. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in zero-to-one environments, is comfortable working independently, and has a strong product and user experience mindset.
● Own and evolve our React-based frontend architecture, ensuring a seamless, high-performance user experience. ● Build and optimize web applications, focusing on responsive design, performance, and accessibility. ● Collaborate with design and product teams to translate wireframes into polished, interactive user experiences. ● Ensure the frontend is highly performant and scalable, implementing best practices in code quality, testing, and documentation. ● Implement and refine a component-based design system, enabling consistent UI patterns and streamlined development. ● Develop and maintain front-end testing strategies, ensuring reliability and smooth user interactions. ● Drive technical decision-making on frontend frameworks, libraries, and tooling to support long-term growth. ● Partner closely with backend engineers to define APIs and ensure seamless integration between the frontend and backend. ● Lay the foundation for scalable frontend development, establishing best practices and setting up processes for future engineers. ● Act as a key voice in product discussions, advocating for UX improvements and frontend innovations that improve patient and caregiver experiences.
Professional Qualifications: ● Proven ability to build and scale web applications, optimizing for performance, usability, and maintainability. ● Strong command of modern frontend technologies, including React, TypeScript, JavaScript, HTML5, and CSS3. ● Experience shipping production web applications, ensuring they are fast, responsive, and accessible (no mobile app development required). ● Instincts for UI/UX best practices, able to translate complex workflows into simple, intuitive interfaces. ● Comfortable navigating and improving existing codebases, refactoring for scalability and efficiency. ● Experience with state management solutions (Redux, Zustand, Recoil, or similar). ● Hands-on experience with frontend testing frameworks, ensuring smooth, reliable user interactions (Jest, Cypress, or similar). ● A bias for action—thrives in fast-moving, early-stage environments with high ownership and autonomy.
Personal Characteristics: ● Mission-Driven & Impact-Oriented – Passionate about improving patient and caregiver experiences through technology. ● Autonomous & Self-Starter – Thrives in early-stage environments with high ownership and low structure. ● Product-Minded & UX-Focused – Cares deeply about building intuitive, delightful user experiences. ● Detail-Oriented & Quality-Focused – Committed to writing clean, maintainable, and well-documented code. ● Collaborative & Communicative – Works well across engineering, product, and design teams. ● Adaptable & Growth-Minded – Open to learning and evolving as the company scales.
