About the Opportunity

Pair Team is seeking a builder who thrives at the intersection of code and craft. Youll be a technical leader shaping the architecture, quality, and user experience of the software that powers our care delivery platform—used by patients, care teams, and clinical partners across the country.

Youll take ownership of complex frontend systems, partnering closely with product, design, and backend teams to turn nuanced healthcare workflows into elegant, performant interfaces. From component architecture to pixel-perfect details, youll set the standard for what great frontend engineering looks like at Pair.

In this role, you will :

• Own the end-to-end frontend experience across key product surfaces
• Lead architectural decisions, design systems evolution, and frontend tooling strategy
• Translate complex clinical and operational needs into intuitive, high-quality UIs
• Bring modern web trends—like Tailwind, SSR, animations, and AI-driven UX—into production
• Collaborate cross-functionally to deliver cohesive, accessible, and inclusive user experiences
• Mentor engineers, influence product direction, and elevate technical quality across the team

This is a high-impact role for an engineer who cares as much about user experience and accessibility as they do about code quality—building software that not only looks and feels great, but directly improves access to care for people who need it most.

Who You Are

• Leadership & Influence : A recognized leader, respected for technical ability, direction-setting, and ability to navigate ambiguity. Leads cross-team initiatives and influences without authority across engineering, product, operations, and medical.
• Technical Expertise : recognized as an expert in their domain area but able to operate effectively in other domains when needed
• Execution & Ownership : Owns high-impact, cross-system projects. Drives progress across a domain and ensures delivery on both technical and business outcomes.
• Force Multiplier : Uplifts not only engineers but also PMs and designers. Leads by example to raise the bar across disciplines.
• Communication & Alignment : Communicates clearly across technical and non-technical audiences. Aligns stakeholders even when goals and definitions are evolving; creates clarity from chaos.
• Systems Thinking : Designs scalable solutions with a deep understanding of interconnected systems. Anticipates downstream effects and communicates complex dynamics clearly.
• Business Impact : Deeply understands business and operational goals. Connects them to day-to-day technical work, ensuring alignment and measurable outcomes.
• Player & Coach : Seamlessly shifts between strategy and execution — no problem too big or small. Equally effective leading execution (e.g., as a pod lead) or through deep technical contributions.
• Analytical & Data-Driven : Extracts and analyzes data independently. Synthesizes KPIs and qualitative insights to inform decisions and improve products.
• Growth-Oriented : Continuously seeks new challenges and growth. Acts as a multiplier for the teams impact and helps shape the technical culture.
• Bias for Action : Delivers value iteratively, avoiding over-engineering. Breaks down complex problems into shippable steps and balances planning with execution.

• Experience working in iterative environments, with a bias toward shipping value early and often
• Passionate about building technology that improves care for individuals navigating chronic health and social challenges—including homelessness, severe mental illness, and substance use disorder

• Embrace challenges : We leave our egos at the door and step forward into discomfort instead of back into safety. We help each other to learn and provide feedback using candor and kindness.
• Break through walls : We go the extra mile for our patients, partners and one another, and we run toward hard things. We are resilient in our push for consistent improvement and challenge the status quo.
• Act beyond yourself : We build each other up and respect boundaries. We seek first to understand and assume positive intent.
• Care comes first : We hold ourselves to the highest standards for our patients. We are relentless in the pursuit of our mission, and ensure that we are taking care of ourselves in order to care for others.
