Senior Frontend Engineer (React & React Native)

This role is an opportunity to shape an innovative health tech platform as part of our frontend team

WHO ARE WE

We all share the passion for building the best next generation of healthcare solutions. We are a team of software engineers, physicists, anthropologists, sociologists and more.

Our work is ambitious. Our software product enables remote care for heart patients with implanted pacemakers. We enhance the lives of patients while making clinicians more efficient at the same time.

WHO ARE YOU

You want to work on a product that matters in a driven team that aims to improve the quality of lives for our users (heart patients).

You have experience developing complex web dashboards as well as developing mobile apps in React Native for both Android and iOS. You can work autonomously yet you know how to keep other team members updated and engage them in important decisions.

You share our values and beliefs:

• Teamwork and collaboration are paramount
• Sketch, build and test early and quickly
• Base insights on thorough fieldwork and academic research
• Build on user-centered design principles
• Keep an open, free and flexible work environment

In terms of more traditional requirements we're interested in experience with:

• React and React Native
• Redux, Redux-Saga
• Deploying for Android and iOS

It would be nice if you've specifically worked with our tech stack and/or in the healthtech field already.

OUR TECH STACK

The main stone in our frontend stack is React which is used across different tools we build: web portal for clinicians at hospitals, internal management tools, prototypes. As you'd expect the mobile application uses React Native.

For state management of our applications we rely on Redux and Redux-Saga to handle the side effect layer. Even there are a lot other parts involved in each application, i.e. storybook, jest, etc. those mentioned are the most relevant ones.

The platform is backed by AWS EKS, using Kubernetes to manage our resources, provide resilience and empower developers to create representative environments for testing. We host Elixir and Python services, along with PostgreSQL, NoSQL databases and RabbitMQ as an event bus. We manage our CI/CD via Jenkins with code based pipelines. Orchestration of the platform is done with Terraform and we use DataDog for monitoring and alerting.

Our architecture is still evolving as we go. You will get to have an impact on the design and implementation of the architecture as we adapt it to meet current and future needs.

WHY WORK WITH US

We make a real difference

It's hard for hospitals to strike the balance between cutting costs and delivering better care for patients. With our software platform we do just that using AI-driven decision support with classic work process optimisation and smart visualizations of medical data.

We're passionate about our journey and each other

We're here to make an impact and have the best time together while doing it. We're still a small team and we firmly believe that we should all understand the purpose of what we do. So no one will just hand things off to another team and forget about it.

We're solving hard problems

Doing health tech right is difficult for a number of reasons. Some are technology-related: stability, security, transparency and reproducibility, which is a different beast than the typical throughput and scaling. Standards and protocols for health tech are still evolving and often misappropriated, and so often require creative solutions.

Other reasons are more practical: different hospitals and clinics simply have different workflows and this can and does impact the way we have to design software to support those individualities.

Finally, there are the legal and ethical considerations: how do we handle GDPR, security, auditing and logging, national and international laws, etc.
