Frontend Engineer

About VitVio

VitVio is building AI-powered tools to simplify and streamline operating room workflows, so surgical teams can focus on what really matters—patient care. Our platform uses computer vision and context-aware AI to understand actions happening in the OR in real time. From automatically logging surgical stages to coordinating team readiness, we take on the administrative load so clinical staff don’t have to.

Our team has experience founding and scaling leading companies in adjacent industries. We're growing quickly—backed by top-tier investors—and working with some of the most respected hospitals in the US and Europe.

About the Opportunity

We're looking for a Frontend Engineer (Fullstack Software Engineer who is a frontend and mobile specialist) to join our experienced engineering team. This role blends deep technical work on the frontend with people leadership and offers the chance to build tools used directly in surgical care.

This role is remote-first, and open to European timezones — we prioritize talent over everything else. Some travel (US and Europe) is required to visit hospitals, observe workflows, and co-design with clinical users.

What You’ll Do

Like all our engineers you will work across the stack on systems used by hospital staff in high-stakes environments. From RFD to deployment, you’ll take ownership of features, propose creative improvements, and ship clean, reliable code with confidence. As a frontend specialist, we will lean on you to define our frontend strategy to maintain high iteration speed while supporting a wide range of devices. You will ensure high quality in the frontend while facilitating contributions from all engineers.

In your first 6 months, you will:

• Work closely with our design team to implement our design system

• Modularise the frontend code to make it testable and mobile-ready

• Mentor good frontend habits to onboard software team to the structures you are putting in place

• Deliver weekly enhancements or fixes with high quality and near-zero regressions

• Contribute to product development through structured feedback, prototyping, and testing

• Own and ship projects end-to-end across our product and machine learning teams

You’ll work across a diverse stack:

• Frontend: React, TypeScript

• Backend: Elixir (Phoenix), C++

• Infrastructure: GCP, GitHub Actions, NixOS

• Data: Postgres, ETL pipelines

• APIs: GraphQL, REST, integrations with healthcare systems (e.g. HL7/FHIR)

Although we are looking for extensive frontend and mobile experience, we don’t expect you to have deep experience in each tool and language — but we’re looking for curiosity and adaptability. We support engineers in learning new tools as needed. So, if you don’t have experience with some of the tech above, no problem, we’d still love you to apply!

You Might Be a Great Fit If You...

• You have architected and implemented highly maintainable and reliable web apps that work across devices

• Are a well-rounded engineer with experience and interest across the stack (our philosophy is for all engineers to contribute to all repositories)

• Are known for clean, reliable code and proactive communication

• Take the initiative: when something’s broken, you fix it or raise it

• Think in systems and edge cases, but you move quickly and pragmatically

• Thrive in team settings that value candid discussions, curiosity, and mutual respect

• Include the word ‘reactor’ in your application (to let us know you’ve read this)

• Find purpose in building software that solves real problems for real people

We don’t expect you to know all of our stack or match every bullet here — we care more about how you think, learn, and collaborate.
