Frontend Engineer (Boston)
About the role
We're building and scaling a healthcare store that makes it delightful to shop for any type of care. We provide upfront cash and insurance prices for virtual and in-person visits, prescriptions, labs, imaging, and more.
Responsibilities
- Owning major surfaces of our Next.js application — from search and scheduling to provider profiles and checkout
- Obsessing over every detail of the patient experience
- Building fast, accessible, production-grade web apps
- Nailing interactions and micro-details with design
- Making pragmatic frontend architecture decisions — component patterns, state management, data fetching strategies, performance optimization, and testing
- Working across the stack when needed; our frontend talks to a Rails backend
- Writing product requirements documents
- Understanding how features are performing with SQL
- QAing tasks
Requirements
- 3+ years of experience building production web applications with React
- Strong proficiency in TypeScript and modern React patterns (server components, hooks, data fetching)
- Experience with Next.js or a similar framework (routing, SSR/SSG, API routes, caching)
- A strong eye for UI quality — you notice when padding is off by 4px and it bothers you
- Experience with frontend performance optimization, accessibility, and cross-browser compatibility
- Comfortable working with RESTful APIs and understanding backend data models
- Familiarity with modern backend frameworks is a plus — we use Ruby on Rails and Postgres
Qualifications
- Deep expertise in React and TypeScript
- Experience building fast, accessible, production-grade web apps
- Comfortable working closely with design to nail interactions and micro-details
- Confident making pragmatic frontend architecture decisions
- Comfortable working across the stack when needed
- Willingness to work in an environment of significant ambiguity
- Comfortable working closely with design, operations, and clinical stakeholders
- Excitement about the prospect of digging into the messy complexities of the American healthcare system
Benefits
Our ideal candidate is hungry, high-agency, and aspires to be a generalist. We are constantly navigating tradeoffs between engineering velocity and quality. Our engineers frequently write product requirements documents, write SQL to understand how features are performing, and own QA — no task is beneath us or outside of the scope of the role if it helps us to deliver a great product.
Pay
Base is between $150,000 - $225,000 annually + equity options.
Schedule
We expect our team to work from the office a minimum of 3 days per week, and ideally 4 or 5.
