A bit about us :

We’re partnering with a mission-driven, well-funded healthtech startup that’s reimagining how individuals and families navigate complex care journeys. Backed by top-tier investors and led by seasoned founders with personal experience in the healthcare space, this company is building empathetic, consumer-grade technology for one of life’s most vulnerable and high-stakes experiences.

  • Real Equity – Competitive equity package that reflects your role as an early technical hire, giving you a meaningful stake in the company’s success.
  • Career Growth – As the company scales, so will your role. This is a clear path to front-end leadership, including mentorship and team-building opportunities.
  • Collaborative Team – Work alongside experienced, mission-aligned founders and product leaders who value thoughtful design and engineering.
  • Build Tech That Matters – Join a healthtech company solving real, deeply human problems with empathy and intention.
  • In-Person Collaboration – Two days a week in the San Francisco office (Mission Bay) to connect with the team and move quickly on what matters.

  • ? Strong command of modern frontend technologies, including React, TypeScript, JavaScript, HTML5, and CSS3.
