Ro - Staff Software Engineer, Frontend
Requirements
• A track record of setting technical direction for frontend work that spanned multiple teams or systems, and seeing it through to adoption. • Experience architecting complex, stateful product workflows, such as multi-step forms, scheduling, messaging, queues, or data-dense applications. • Deep fundamentals in component architecture, state management, API design and integration, server-side rendering, accessibility, performance, testing, and failure-state design. • Experience making architecture decisions with long-term consequences. You should be able to explain what you considered, what you traded off, and what you’d do differently. • Experience owning the reliability and production health of what you and your teams ship, including observability, incident response, and follow-through after launch. • A track record of shaping product direction with Product and Design, including disagreeing constructively when the stakes were high. • Evidence of influencing engineers and stakeholders outside your own team without relying on authority. • Experience improving how other engineers work, through shared patterns, design systems, standards, tooling, or mentorship. • The ability to explain technical decisions and tradeoffs clearly to engineers, non-engineering partners, and leadership. • Evidence of connecting technical work to measurable outcomes for users or the business. • Experience in healthcare, telehealth, clinical workflows, or another highly regulated industry. • Experience building software for specialized internal or operational users, such as clinicians, support teams, financial operators, or other domain experts. • Experience leading a design-system modernization or a large-scale frontend migration. • Familiarity with tools such as Turborepo, TanStack Query, React Aria, Playwright, Storybook, or Chromatic. • Experience using AI or automation to improve product workflows or engineering workflows. • We've Got You Covered • Full medical, dental, and vision insurance + OneMedical membership • Healthcare and Dependent Care FSA • 401(k) with company match • Wellbeing + Learning & Growth reimbursements • Paid parental leave + Fertility benefits • Student loan refinancing • Virtual resources for mindfulness, counseling, and fitness • The target base salary for this position ranges from $211,700 to $292,000, in addition to a competitive equity and benefits package (as applicable).

Responsibilities
• Set technical direction for complex frontend product areas that span multiple teams, from problem definition through architecture, rollout, and iteration. • Find the most important frontend problems across teams, including ones that aren’t on anyone’s roadmap. Build the case for solving them and get teams aligned. • Make architecture decisions with long-term consequences. These cover component design, application state, data fetching, API contracts, error handling, and performance. Document the tradeoffs so others can build on them. • Lead the evolution of our shared frontend architecture and design system, including our ongoing design-system modernization, and drive adoption across teams. • Work with backend engineers and other technical leads to define clear boundaries and contracts between frontend and backend systems. • Work with Product and Design leaders on scope, sequencing, and product direction. Help them understand the technical options and what each one means for users. • Translate complex clinical, operational, and patient workflows into interfaces that are intuitive, reliable, and safe. • Balance near-term delivery against long-term engineering health, and make those tradeoffs visible to the people affected. • Raise the quality bar across frontend in testing, accessibility, observability, reliability, and performance. Own production outcomes for the systems you lead. • Use user feedback, product data, and operational metrics to judge whether what we shipped worked, and decide where to go next. • Help other engineers, including senior engineers, make better technical decisions through mentorship, design reviews, and day-to-day collaboration. • Write production code, especially on the most consequential and highest-risk parts of the work. • Participate in on-call rotations and take ownership of the health of the systems your teams operate.
