About the role
Metriport is an open-source data intelligence platform that helps healthcare organizations access and exchange patient data in real-time. We integrate with all major US healthcare IT systems and tap into comprehensive medical data for 300+ million individuals.
We've found product-market fit with multi-million ARR, 100+ customers (including Amazon One Medical, Strive Health, Circle Medical, and Brightside Health), backing from top VCs, and years of runway. We're ready to scale. We're a tight-knit, high-performing team of mostly former founders (including two YC alumni). We're engineering-heavy, operate with minimal bureaucracy and high autonomy, and hire based on competence, not prestige. We push hard—founders work six days a week from our SF office—but give everyone freedom to craft their schedule. We measure output and we're committed to sustainable intensity.
The Role
As a Design Engineer at Metriport, you'll spend your time understanding customer workflows, designing the best solution to those problems, and implementing your own designs. If you're someone who is excited by broad ownership and making consequential decisions — while taking on work that others might consider way too much — you might be a good fit.
At Metriport we think of design like a rough-hewn yet elegant table: does its job, looks right in the room, built to last, and finished. You'll bring that sensibility to everything — knowing when a design decision needs more thought and when it needs to ship.
We strongly believe in the 80/20 rule here, and rely on everyone joining our team to use it so that we can ship fast, and continue to delight our users!
What You'll Do
Build and maintain the design system Establish a coherent design language — components, spacing, typography, color — that is simple.
Lead frontend implementation Set direction on the frontend, review implementation against design intent, and write production code where it matters most. You're strong enough in React to be the authority in the room.
