Founding Frontend Engineer/Lead | Mission-Driven HealthTech / Wellness Startup (Transforming Cancer Care)

San Francisco Bay Area (1-2 days a week in-person out of SF)

Must have early-stage experience (0→1 or early scale)

Build with Purpose. Ship with Impact.

Cancer is overwhelming — not just the diagnosis, but every step that follows. Patients and families face a fragmented, impersonal system that too often fails them. We're building something better.

This is a rare opportunity to own the frontend for a product that's already changing lives, at a company with 20x month-over-month revenue growth, top-tier backers (Pear VC led our last round), and a founder with deep founder–market fit (ex-Flatiron, former caregiver, and product leader in oncology).

If you're a senior frontend engineer or EM-level builder craving full ownership and real-world impact — this is the one.

The Role

As our Founding Frontend Engineer/Lead, you'll lead all things UI/UX and frontend architecture. You'll shape the product experience for patients, caregivers, and clinicians navigating serious illness — from system design to pixel-perfect implementation. You'll collaborate closely with product and design to bring empathy, precision, and performance into every interaction.

This isn't just a “build what's spec'd” role — you'll be a critical thought partner in product decisions, and your code will directly affect how people experience care.

What You'll Own

• Full ownership of the frontend — React, TypeScript, design system, testing, and performance
• Translate complex care workflows into intuitive UI with real-world constraints
• Collaborate tightly with product, design, and backend to deliver thoughtful UX
• Set the bar for quality, performance, and accessibility
• Shape how we scale: systems, processes, and future hires
• You've built and shipped products at the seed or Series A stage (ideally 0→1)
• You thrive on high ownership and low red tape — a true product collaborator
• You're a frontend craftsperson: React + TS are your bread and butter
• You sweat details, think in systems, and care deeply about user experience
• You're local to SF and energized by being in the room with people building fast
• You're mission-aligned — maybe even personally connected to the problem

Bonus: You've built design systems, led performance/debug initiatives, or contributed to accessibility best practices.

Why Now?

• Real momentum: 20x MoM revenue growth. Product already used by top 20 pharma and major care providers.
• Clear problem, urgent need: Everyone has a cancer story. We're fixing the experience behind the scenes.
• Founder's expertise: Rare mix of personal story, deep domain knowledge, and product chops.
• Sharp team: Backed by Pear VC and top healthcare angels. Product-minded, founder-led, and deeply driven.

If you're an engineer who wants to build with empathy, lead with conviction, and scale something that matters — let's talk.
