About the Role
This role exists at an early-stage medical AI company building a surgical copilot that helps doctors make better calls in the operating room by pairing a real-time device with a growing AI layer. Success in the first year looks like a library of interface patterns other engineers build on, plus at least one shipped visualization tool that surgical and research teams use daily. It's a strong move for someone who wants outsized ownership early and a direct line to the people building the underlying AI.
What You'll Own
-
Design and ship user facing interfaces across the platform, from device screens used inside the operating room to internal tools for the engineering and research teams.
-
Build visualization tools that turn surgical video, medical imaging, and model output into something a clinician or researcher can act on quickly.
-
Establish reusable components and front end patterns that raise the bar for how the rest of the team builds UI.
-
Connect front end applications to APIs and real time data streams coming off edge devices in the field.
-
Raise the reliability and responsiveness bar on applications handling dense, high stakes data.
-
Contribute to a regulatory grade development process, including documentation and traceability standards expected of medical software.
What We're Looking For
-
Bachelor's degree in computer science, software engineering, or equivalent demonstrated experience.
-
2+ years building front end software applications professionally, through internships, or through significant personal projects.
-
Proficiency in JavaScript or TypeScript with a modern framework such as React, Vue, or Angular.
-
Solid grasp of component based architecture, state management, and responsive UI development.
-
Experience integrating front end applications with APIs and backend services.
-
Professional experience with Python or Python based backend systems.
-
A track record of having tackled a genuinely difficult technical problem in a high performing environment, not just feature work inside an established system.
-
Comfortable with Git and collaborative development workflows.
-
Strong communication skills across technical disciplines, and comfort in a fast moving, evolving environment.
