Staff Software Engineer (Frontend Platform)

Join Modern Health as a Staff Software Engineer (Frontend Platform) and play a key role in shaping the technical foundation and direction of our frontend architecture across web and mobile. You'll lead the evolution of our design system, component libraries, build/CI tooling, accessibility, and internationalization. This is a unique opportunity to make a direct impact on people's lives while empowering every engineer at Modern Health to deliver high-quality, secure, and scalable software.

• Set the technical vision and long-term architectural direction for the frontend platform across web (React) and mobile (React Native).
• Design, build, and evolve shared foundations — design system, component libraries, state management patterns, routing, build tooling (Vite), and testing frameworks.
• Drive developer experience improvements: CI/CD pipelines, linting, type safety, code generation, MR/PR workflows, and metrics that surface platform health.
• Experience improving developer experience and CI/CD for frontend codebases (linting, type checks, automated testing, MR/PR workflows, metrics)
• 8+ years of relevant software development experience, with a clear focus on frontend engineering
• Passion for building something to improve the lives of others
• Deep expertise in React, TypeScript, and modern frontend tooling (Vite, Webpack, or similar); experience with React Native strongly preferred
• Proven track record designing and scaling frontend platforms, design systems, or shared component libraries used by multiple product teams
• Experience driving frontend architecture decisions — state management, performance, bundling, rendering strategies, and testing
• Experience leading and architecting large-scale projects as a technical thought leader
• Strong working knowledge of GraphQL (schema design, client tooling) and the ability to contribute meaningfully to backend services in Python (Django/Flask) when needed
• Strong grasp of web performance, accessibility (WCAG), and internationalization (including RTL is a plus)
• Ability to work effectively with and mentor a distributed engineering team
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to influence across teams
• Native mobile development (iOS/Android) beyond React Native
• AI-assisted developer tooling (e.g., agentic coding tools, code generation, LLM-powered DX)
• Real-time messaging and notification flows (including push notifications)
• Building or contributing to a design system at scale (Figma Code Connect, tokens, theming)
• Working with AWS or other cloud platforms
• SQL, bash, or other scripting languages to facilitate debugging or developer experience contributions
• Working at a high-growth startup, on SaaS software, or in Health Tech / HR Tech
