Millions of people turn to search engines and social media for medical information, but these platforms can be overwhelming and filled with misinformation. That's why Roon was created. Our interdisciplinary team, comprising of doctors, patients, caregivers, public health experts, designers, engineers, and content creators, has come together to reimagine how people access health information, with trust and expert curation at the forefront.
Today, Roon is a video-based medical Q&A platform, providing trusted answers to health questions. Thousands of experts from top medical institutions such as Harvard, Stanford, Yale, UCSF, Cornell, UPenn, Duke, and Columbia have contributed content and are sharing Roon with their patients.
Our ambition is to become the doctor in your pocket for all of health, blending world-class expertise with AI-driven assistance and guidance. And we’re just getting started!
We’re looking for a senior front end engineer who will focus on making our web products great. That includes our web app — check out Roon.com — and our future doctor-facing web products. If you’ve got an eye for web design, love the idea of PWAs, and really believe in the transformational and inspirational potential of a great website, we want to hear from you! We really want to be the digital front door to health, and we see our web products as our flagships. You'll be a lead on our team, working alongside a great team of engineers, doctors, and designers.
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.
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.
