Frontend Lead (React + React Native)

About This Role

This hands-on lead role involves setting the direction for frontend development across web and mobile applications, ensuring they are fast, consistent, and built on a solid foundation for new features. You will write code daily, mentor engineers, and contribute to the growth of the frontend team, with a focus on delivering speed and clarity for clinical users.

Responsibilities

• Own the frontend roadmap across web and mobile, covering performance, architecture, accessibility, and patient-data (PHI) handling in the client
• Ship new features end to end with product and design, from handoff through review, feature flags, and release
• Make the heaviest flows fast with real clinical data, including patient search, schedules, charts, and streaming AI output
• Work with backend teams on API shape and caching
• Build the React Native mobile app, sharing components, data, and authentication logic with web apps where appropriate
• Pull duplicated UI into one shared component library and one shared API and authentication layer, with frontend standards and CI checks that every app follows
• Mentor engineers, review code, and help hire new frontend engineers

Requirements

• 6+ years of professional frontend engineering experience, with deep expertise in React and TypeScript
• Production React Native apps shipped on iOS and Android, including App Store and Play Store releases
• Hands-on experience with the React Native ecosystem: Expo or bare workflow, React Navigation, native modules, over-the-air updates, and mobile performance tuning
• Experience leading frontend work on an existing product, including improving speed, cleaning up architecture, and setting standards
• Strong performance skills: profiling, rendering, bundle size, Core Web Vitals, caching, and data fetching (React Query or similar)
• A testing habit: Vitest or Jest, React Testing Library, Playwright, and Detox or Maestro for mobile
• Experience with authentication flows (OIDC, Keycloak or similar) and permission-aware UI
• Clear writing, good mentoring, and the confidence to push back on product and design with good reasoning

Nice to have:

• Healthcare, Telehealth, or other regulated-industry experience (HIPAA, PHI)
• Familiarity with FHIR resources or EMR workflows such as scheduling, charting, and claims
• Real-time UI: WebSockets, streaming responses, voice
• Native code in Swift or Kotlin
• Monorepo tooling for sharing code between web and mobile (Nx, Turborepo)
• Accessibility expertise (WCAG 2.2 AA)
