The healthcare industry still relies on faxes and phone tag to coordinate critical care for patients at home. We think patients and the clinicians who serve them deserve better than a system stuck in 1995.
Verse Medical is building the modern software infrastructure to make it happen. We're a well-funded Series C company (backed by General Catalyst, SignalFire, and Sapphire Ventures) on a mission to heal a fragmented system. Our platform connects the dots between providers, payors, and patients, ensuring people get the high-quality care they need, reliably and right where they live. We’re growing fast and looking for people who are driven by this mission to join us!
We're building more than a product; we're building a culture. Our values are the operating system for how we work together and with our partners. They aren't just words on a wall; they are the principles we bring to every decision, every day.
We are transparent, upfront and direct. We operate with honesty and clarity. We share information openly, the good and the bad, and believe that direct, respectful feedback is the foundation of trust and progress.
We value speed of iteration. We are building something new, which means we learn by doing. We prioritize rapid iteration and getting solutions into the hands of users, believing that progress is more valuable than perfection.
We give 110% effort, 30% of the time. We are passionate about our mission, and there are moments that require us to go the extra mile. We believe in focused intensity when it counts, balanced by a sustainable pace that keeps our team energized for the long run.
We empathize with customers to a fault. When our users face a problem, we own it. Instead of asking them to change, we ask ourselves, "How can we make this better?" We believe true innovation comes from deep empathy and a relentless focus on solving the real-world challenges of healthcare.
This isn't just a job; it's a chance to build something that matters. As a Sr. Front End Engineer, you'll be shaping the future of at-home care. You'll be a key part of the team, working to architect and build meaningful experiences for our patients and providers alike.
While this role is primarily focused on frontend development, you’ll also contribute to backend work (around 20%) to support end-to-end feature delivery.
Within your first year, you will have the opportunity to:
Take ownership of our front-end architecture, establishing best practices and setting the technical direction for all future development.
Lead the design and implementation of highly complex and interactive features, such as our intricate order forms, ensuring a seamless and intuitive experience for our clinical users.
Develop a deep understanding of our users' workflows and translate their needs into robust, scalable, and opinionated front-end solutions.
Serve as the technical leader and mentor for front-end engineering, shaping the culture of the team and leveling up our approach to user interface development.
Drive the evolution of our state management strategy in React, ensuring our applications can handle intensive logical states and real-time data with grace and performance.
We believe that diverse experiences and backgrounds lead to better solutions. While we have an idea of what will help someone succeed in this role, we are open to being convinced by your unique story and skills. If you believe you can achieve the outcomes above, we encourage you to apply.
Core Skills & Experience:
Expertise in React is a mandatory requirement. You have extensive experience building, deploying, and maintaining complex applications with it.
At least 5 years experience building, shipping, and maintaining complex front end applications in a production environment.
Proven experience in a technical leadership capacity, with a demonstrated ability to guide engineering decisions and mentor other developers.
Deep knowledge of modern state management libraries and patterns within the React ecosystem.
Excellent communication skills, with the ability to articulate technical concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences.
An opinionated and thoughtful approach to front-end development, with a passion for creating high-quality user experiences.
You'll be joining the Engineering team, a group of talented innovators who value pragmatism, simplicity, and speed of execution. We collaborate closely and believe the best ideas can come from anywhere.
The tools and technologies you'll use include:
Languages: Typescript, Python
Frameworks: React, GraphQL
Infrastructure: AWS, Postgres
We believe in taking care of our team, both professionally and personally. Here’s what we offer:
Meaningful Compensation: $160,000-$200,000 base salary + equity
Comprehensive Health & Wellness: We cover 100% of your health insurance premium and provide access to high-quality dental and vision insurance plans for you and your dependents.
Plan for the Future: We offer a 401(k) plan to help you save for your future. At this time, the company does not offer a 401(k) match.
Career Growth: You'll have opportunities for rapid career advancement in a company that's at a major inflection point. We want you to grow with us.
Work Environment & Location:
For NYC Roles: This role is based in our New York City office in Chelsea. We have a hybrid model, with a requirement of 4 days per week in the office to foster collaboration and innovation.
