We are focused on building the digital home for doctors - a free, physicians-only community to connect, share knowledge, and shape the future of medicine.
We are backed by amazing venture investors including FirstMark Capital, Forerunner Ventures, Sequoia Capital, TMV, and SV Angel.
As a senior front-end engineer, you’ll lead the development of our web app — check out Roon.com — and future doctor-facing products. You’ll architect solutions that not only solve today’s problems but are maintainable and scalable as we continue to grow. You’ll be responsible for building a high-performance responsive user experience, built with best practices such as lazy loading, efficient state management, and optimized network requests. We really want to be the digital front door to health, and we see our web products as our flagships. You'll play a key role in ensuring our products deliver an intuitive, fast, and accessible experience for all users.
Boundless Curiosity
You love to learn. You have a thirst for knowledge and constantly seek to expand your understanding of the world. Your curiosity spans a wide range of topics, with a special passion for all things at the intersection of healthcare and technology.
Genuine Care
You bring authentic care to everything you do, valuing each individual’s unique journey. You understand the profound impact that empathy and thoughtful attention can have on people’s lives.
Joyful Excellence
Striving for excellence in your craft fuels you. You hold a high bar for yourself and what you work on but do so in a way that inspires others and brings joy to the process.
Original Thinking
You dig beneath the surface, setting aside trendy thinking to arrive at insights and perspectives rooted in first principles. Your approach brings new, creative perspectives to solving problems.
Work with our front end team, back end team, product manager and designer to bring our web sites to life.
Product and design sense. We are building for a population navigating difficult conditions, so ensuring that our product is intuitive, accessible, and empathetic every step of the way is imperative. Engineers work closely with product and design - collaborating, ideating and even challenging the team if something doesn’t fall in line with our patient & caregiver first approach.
Leadership in Software Architecture. Beyond writing elegant JavaScript and CSS, you’ll focus on building scalable and maintainable code. This includes thoughtful performance optimizations like lazy loading, efficient rendering strategies, and minimizing reflows and repaints to ensure smooth user interactions. You'll bring an understanding of modern performance measurement tools (e.g., Lighthouse, Web Vitals) to ensure that our app performs at its best. You understand SEO, and have optimized web sites for crawlers and indexers before. You have a deep understanding of “API-led” or “service oriented**” architectures**, using a JSON + REST data exchange model. Bonus points for having used GraphQL before. You’re experienced with security best practices for web applications.
Really strong JavaScript and CSS experience. You can always learn a framework or a library (we’re using React and NextJS), but good programming skills are invaluable. As our lead engineer, you’ll write sleek, readable code that makes the rest of us jealous. You know exactly when to go full async/await, when to keep things elegant with a well-placed arrow function, and when to destructure objects like a pro. You’ve probably mapped and reduced more data than you can count—and we love that. You keep your Promises. Flexbox and Grid are your friends, and you can make designs dance with CSS transitions, animations, and maybe some pseudo-element magic.
