Join us as we work to create a thriving ecosystem that delivers accessible, high-quality, and sustainable healthcare for all.

Role Summary

The Lead Member of Technical Staff will serve as a technical anchor for a team building modern, React-based clinical web applications that support healthcare providers and improve patient care delivery. This hybrid role is based in Boston, MA, and combines hands on engineering with technical leadership – guiding architectural decisions, mentoring team members, and ensuring high standards of quality and consistency across the frontend platform.

This position reports to a Principal Member of Technical Staff.

Team Summary

The Clinicals Front End Rearchitecture Initiative is an engineering-led program aimed at replacing a fragmented set of frontend architectures across Clinicals applications with a single, cohesive, React-based platform. Today, these applications are built on a variety of technologies and patterns that create complexity for developers and inconsistency for users. This initiative is designed to address that directly – establishing a unified foundation that makes it easier to build, maintain, and scale clinical software over time.

Beyond the technical work, this initiative is also about establishing engineering culture and shared practices – reusable component libraries, front-end conventions, testing standards, and documentation that other engineering teams across Clinicals can adopt. As a Lead on this team, this person will help shape those practices and guide other engineers in applying them effectively. The end result will be a performant, developer-friendly, and sustainable platform that positions Clinicals for long-term growth – and this role is central to making that vision a reality.

Essential

Job Responsibilities
  • Lead the technical design and delivery of frontend features and platform components using JavaScript, React.js, and Type Script, ensuring alignment with architecture standards.
  • Guide and mentor other frontend engineers on implementation practices, code quality, and shared conventions across the team.
  • Define and evolve frontend architecture patterns, component libraries, and engineering standards that support a scalable, unified codebase.
  • Integrate frontend applications with backend services via GraphQL APIs and RESTful endpoints, establishing consistent data-access patterns.
  • Leverage Node.js to support build tooling, server-side rendering, and frontend-app adjacent service development within the platform stack.
  • Collaborate with product managers, designers, and backend engineers to evaluate requirements, shape technical direction, and deliver user-centered solutions.
  • Evaluate and integrate AI-assisted development tools – such as those that support code review, test generation, or debugging – into the team’s workflow, and help teammates adopt practices that improve productivity while maintaining code quality and judgment.
  • Drive code review practices, testing standards, and deployment readiness to maintain a high bar for frontend software quality.
  • Analyze existing Clinicals frontend codebases, identify areas for improvement, and lead migration efforts toward the modernized React-based architecture.
  • Coordinate with cross-functional engineering teams to align on shared APIs, data contracts, deployment pipelines, and platform dependencies.
Additional

Job Responsibilities
  • Support frontend build, release, and deployment activities using Jenkins or Harness continuous integration and delivery pipelines.
  • Collaborate with backend and data engineers on system-level integrations involving Oracle databases or supporting data services.
