We are seeking a frontend-leaning engineer to help build and scale the user-facing web applications powering Knowtex’s AI-driven clinical documentation platform. You will work closely with Platform Engineering and customer-facing teams to build accessible, intuitive, and performant user experiences that support real-time voice AI workflows across enterprise healthcare environments.

This role is ideal for an engineer who has experience operating on small, high-impact teams with significant ownership and autonomy, including end-to-end execution on critical product features.

  • Design and build user experiences, including complex audio-centric workflows

  • Develop accessible, intuitive, and performant user interfaces

  • Develop secure and performant APIs and supporting infrastructure for web and mobile applications

  • Collaborate closely with engineering, product, and customer delivery teams to prioritize bug fixes, improvements, and new feature development

  • Participate meaningfully in technical discussions, design reviews, and code reviews

  • Contribute to shared application infrastructure, component library, design system, and developer experience

  • Improve system reliability, observability, and performance

  • Handle engineering escalations from customer-facing teams during on-call shifts, including investigating issues outside of your typical areas of responsibility

Required Qualifications

  • 3+ years of experience building production web applications

  • Strong proficiency in TypeScript

  • Experience building applications with React and Node.js

  • Experience designing and building RESTful APIs

  • Experience working with relational and/or NoSQL databases

  • Understanding of distributed systems and scalability concepts

  • Strong debugging, communication, and problem-solving skills

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience in healthcare technology or regulated environments

  • Experience building real-time or highly interactive web applications

  • Experience operating effectively with limited product design support

  • Familiarity with AWS services such as Lambda, ECS, S3, RDS, and DynamoDB

Technical Environment

  • React, TypeScript, Node.js, and Python (Lambda)

  • AWS cloud infrastructure (including GovCloud environments)

  • AI-enabled application platforms

  • CI/CD pipelines and containerized services

  • Observability and analytics tools (Amplitude, Sentry)

Compensation & Benefits

  • Meaningful equity compensation

  • Unlimited PTO

  • Premium health, dental, and vision coverage

  • 401(k) plan
