Job description

We’re Heidi.

We're building the future of healthcare by giving every clinician the earth's finest AI Care Partner. In just 18 months, our clinical AI products have absorbed the administrative chaos of 73 million patient visits. Today, we support over 2.5 million patient sessions a week across 190+ countries.

Healthcare systems are failing us; clinicians spend more time on documentation than on patients, and the human connection that makes medicine worth practicing is eroding. Our mission is simple: double the world’s healthcare capacity and strengthen the human connection at its heart.

We found product-market fit with a freemium medical scribe that clinicians love. Now, we're expanding. Every task a clinician hands to Heidi is a patient who feels more attended to, a health system unclogged, and a clinician who gets to be a clinician again.

If you don’t choose easy and you want to build something way bigger than yourself then, choose the challenge, choose Heidi.

What You’ll Do

Architect and develop scalable frontend systems.
Architect and maintain reusable components, ensuring consistency across web and mobile platforms.
Drive collaboration across teams, working with product managers, designers, and backend engineers to create cohesive solutions.
Set and maintain frontend development standards around performance, accessibility, and user experience.
Balance delivering new product features alongside managing technical debt.
Provide technical leadership and mentorship to frontend engineers, championing best practices.
Identify and implement tools, frameworks, and methodologies to improve development efficiency.
Autonomously deliver beautiful & robust code with considerations on code structure design and scalability.
Deepdive into weird edge cases and solve hard & tiny problems for our users.

What We’re Looking For

6+ years of professional frontend development experience, with deep expertise in modern JavaScript/TypeScript ecosystems.
Experience in high-growth SaaS environments, scaling frontend architectures, tooling, and developer experience across multiple teams.
Advanced proficiency with React and Next.js (SSR/SSG/ISR, routing, data-fetching, performance tuning, deployment models).
Strong experience working in a monorepo environment (Turborepo, Nx, Bazel), including shared libraries, build pipelines, versioning, and cross-team collaboration.
Proven ability to design, build, and evolve design systems—including UI component libraries, design tokens, theming, Storybook, accessibility, and system governance.
Hands-on experience architecting frontends at scale, defining module boundaries, establishing patterns, and creating reusable primitives that accelerate product development.
Exposure to micro-frontend architectures, including module federation, runtime integration patterns, independent deployments, and strategies for shared state and UX consistency.
Strong grounding in modern testing practices, including: Test-Driven Development (TDD), Behavior-Driven Development (BDD) with tools like Playwright, Cucumber, Unit, integration, visual regression, and end-to-end testing
Experience using AI-assisted coding tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT, Claude, Codex) to enhance productivity, code quality, and architectural exploration.
A focus on fast, high-quality delivery, balancing pragmatic execution with strong testing, observability, performance, and accessibility standards.
Natural technical leadership, including mentoring senior engineers, defining technical strategy, driving architectural decisions, and improving team-wide engineering practices.
Excellent collaboration and communication skills, especially when working closely with product managers, designers, and backend teams.

How we show up

Build for the next decade, not next quarter. Our targets are outrageous on purpose. The world's health doesn't have the luxury of incrementalism.
Lead, don't wait. We treat tomorrow's problems today. Sometimes we build what's needed before it's wanted, and we're fine with that.
Follow the evidence. Trust the patient. We pursue truth relentlessly. But when the subjective and objective disagree, we treat the patient, not the numbers. Ego is a comorbidity we can't afford.
Own the outcome. Everyone here carries the company. Raise problems with solutions, solve them end-to-end, and never be a bystander.
Ship, measure, go again. A button today, a workflow tomorrow. More iterations beat better planning. We're precise at pace, not reckless.
Live in clinicians' reality. Not the ideal workflow, the twenty-patients-before-lunch actual one. We build for exhausted humans, and we'd better be decent ones while we do it.

Why Heidi?

You’ll join a team focused on real-world impact over imaginary valuations and glossy PR. We live and breathe the challenges of modern health systems, and are laser-focused on exacting the change we’d like to see. We’re medicos, engineers, builders, and designers who’ve felt the moral and practical toll of what non-care feels like. True A-players progress extremely fast here. The nature of the scale-up game is demanding, but we value sustainable performance and mental health. You're trusted to perform, and you set your schedule. We operate on outcomes > inputs, not process theatre. We all take the bins out, metaphorically and literally.

Building what we’re building isn’t always easy. But we didn’t choose easy, we chose to build something that actually matters. We hold ourselves to a higher standard because healthcare demands it. If you join Heidi, you recognise that the deeper question isn’t whether AI can solve the global healthcare crisis, but whose hands will shape it. The work is hard, but you will trust and admire the people you work beside, and rest easy knowing you’re doing the defining work of your career.

We take care of you.
