About the role
As a frontend software engineer at General Medicine, you’ll help build and scale a healthcare store that makes it delightfully simple to shop for any type of care.

What we're looking for
We're looking for a frontend engineer to help us build a seamless and beautiful consumer healthcare product on the web. You'll own major surfaces of our Next.js application — from search and scheduling to provider profiles and checkout — and obsess over every detail of the patient experience.
Our ideal candidate has deep expertise in React and TypeScript, a strong eye for UI polish, and experience building fast, accessible, production-grade web apps. You should be comfortable working closely with design to nail interactions and micro-details, but also confident making pragmatic frontend architecture decisions — component patterns, state management, data fetching strategies, performance optimization, and testing. You should also be willing to work across the stack when needed; our frontend talks to a Rails backend, and we value engineers who can trace a bug or build a feature end-to-end.
Beyond frontend expertise, we're looking for someone who cares deeply about technical excellence but is also comfortable moving quickly. We are constantly navigating tradeoffs between engineering velocity and quality. Our ideal candidate is hungry, high-agency, and aspires to be a generalist. Our engineers frequently write product requirements documents, write SQL to understand how features are performing, and own QA — no task is beneath us or outside of the scope of the role if it helps us to deliver a great product. We're looking for someone who can operate in an environment of significant ambiguity, and who is comfortable working closely with design, operations, and clinical stakeholders.
