Job description

About the Role

As a Staff Software Engineer, Front End, you will take on a critical technical leadership role, tackling meaningful, real‑world challenges for healthcare providers. Your primary mission is to lead the architectural direction for our most ambitious, large-scale UI initiatives. We are counting on your expertise to guide this technical transformation, championing a customer‑first mindset while making the thoughtful, pragmatic decisions that ensure long‑term technical health. Concurrently, you will be a key pioneer in integrating AI into our products, shaping and building the new intelligent user experiences that will define our next chapter.

Your Area of Focus

• Own a product end-to-end from defining the problem we should solve to meet our OKRs to designing, building, shipping, and operating the solution.
• Act as a key technical partner for Product Management, co‑owning the roadmap, identifying key risks, and surfacing new engineering‑led opportunities.
• Rapidly form hypotheses based on data and iterate quickly to find tactics that deliver the biggest impact. Rinse and repeat.
• Focus on what’s right, not who. Solicit feedback, learn, teach, and give candid feedback to grow and improve together. Continuously.
• Architect & code frameworks that can be leveraged by the team.
• Invest in technical foundations to accelerate our shipping rhythm. Ship products worthy of recognition.
• Champion the integration of AI tools (like coding assistants) into our daily development lifecycle to boost team velocity, improve code quality, and streamline testing.

Your Professional Qualifications

• 8+ years of software development experience including building production‑grade web applications using React, Vue, Angular, or Material UI.
• Mastery in utilizing REST/GraphQL APIs efficiently, influencing the shape of APIs where necessary.
• In‑depth knowledge of JavaScript/TypeScript, CSS, NodeJS, and the tooling ecosystem (NPM, Yarn, Babel, Jest, Cypress) to the extent you can describe its limitations and tradeoffs.
• Deep understanding of the tradeoffs between static generation, server‑side rendering, and client‑side rendering.
• Exceptional level of engineering fundamentals including a strong grasp of data structures, caching strategies, and asynchronous programming (promises, futures, callbacks).
• Understanding and experience with monorepo environments and micro‑frontend architecture.
• Led and shipped large‑scale projects from conception to production including post‑launch support involving multiple teams.
• Have development experience working with LLMs, AI‑driven UX, or agentic workflows.
• Desire to blaze the trail on less‑glorious engineering tasks that are important to the business.
• Constructively dissatisfied with the status quo.
• Comfortable working on problems that do not have well defined requirements.
• Experience building and mentoring software engineering teams.
• Can drive difficult engineering discussions with the team and present a menu of options to management.
• Able to communicate effectively with both technical and non‑technical audiences.
• Ability to partner with product management to develop requirements.
• Well versed at recognizing project risks and opportunities.
• Able to make build vs. buy software decisions.
• Able to look beyond software best practices to make tough technical decisions that are tailored to business needs.
• Familiarity with query and analytical tools such as SQL, Google Analytics and FullStory.
