Job summary

Metriport is seeking a Design Engineer to understand customer workflows, design the best solutions, and implement your own work. You’ll own broad frontend scope and make consequential decisions with autonomy in a fast-paced environment.

You’ll lead the design system and frontend implementation, collaborating with product and engineering to deliver intuitive, data-heavy interfaces that healthcare teams rely on every day.

Qualifications

• You produce Figma work that is considered and defensible — with clear opinions on typography, hierarchy, and interaction patterns.
• Frontend fluency: you understand React well enough to lead implementation and run reviews — component architecture, rendering behavior, state management.
• Pragmatism: you know what to polish and what to ship, balancing craft and speed.
• The “Metriport” Mindset: low ego, high ownership and focused execution.

Responsibilities

• Build and maintain the design system.
• Establish a coherent design language — components, spacing, typography, color — that is simple.
• Lead frontend implementation: set direction on the frontend, review implementation against design intent, and write production code in React.
• Talk to, and advocate for, users: understand workflows and drive toward optimal solutions.
• Solve data-dense UI problems: build interfaces that surface high-volume medical data and make tradeoffs when needed.
