Sr. Web Engineer

Millions of people turn to search engines and social media for medical information, but these platforms can be overwhelming and filled with misinformation. That's why Roon was created. Our interdisciplinary team, comprising of doctors, patients, caregivers, public health experts, designers, engineers, and content creators, has come together to reimagine how people access health information, with trust and expert curation at the forefront.

Today, Roon is a video-based medical Q&A platform, providing trusted answers to health questions. Thousands of experts from top medical institutions such as Harvard, Stanford, Yale, UCSF, Cornell, UPenn, Duke, and Columbia have contributed content and are sharing Roon with their patients.

Our ambition is to become the doctor in your pocket for all of health, blending world-class expertise with AI-driven assistance and guidance. And we’re just getting started!

We’re looking for a senior front end engineer who will focus on making our web products great. That includes our web app — check out Roon.com — and our future doctor-facing web products. If you’ve got an eye for web design, love the idea of PWAs, and really believe in the transformational and inspirational potential of a great website, we want to hear from you! We really want to be the digital front door to health, and we see our web products as our flagships. You'll be a lead on our team, working alongside a great team of engineers, doctors, and designers.

We love people who are:

Product and design sense. We are building for a population navigating difficult conditions, so ensuring that our product is intuitive, accessible, and empathetic every step of the way is imperative. Engineers work closely with product and design - collaborating, ideating and even challenging the team if something doesn’t fall in line with our patient & caregiver first approach.

Really strong JavaScript and CSS experience. You can always learn a framework or a library (we’re using React and NextJS), but good programming skills are invaluable. As our lead engineer, you’ll write sleek, readable code that makes the rest of us jealous. You know exactly when to go full async/await, when to keep things elegant with a well-placed arrow function, and when to destructure objects like a pro. You’ve probably mapped and reduced more data than you can count—and we love that. You keep your Promises. Flexbox and Grid are your friends, and you can make designs dance with CSS transitions, animations, and maybe some pseudo-element magic.

Plenty of experience with mobile design, including mobile web and mobile applications. You know how to hang out in Figma, get all the breakpoints, and really understand how to test your work.

A deep understanding of “API-led” or “service oriented” architectures, using a JSON + REST data exchange model. Bonus points for having used GraphQL before.

Knowledge of application security best practices. Terms like JWT and refresh tokens make perfect sense to you (and you want to make authentication and security seamless for everyone).

We’d consider it a bonus if you’ve had experience in the health sector, but that isn’t a prerequisite. Your passion for a challenge in this space is.

You'll receive competitive and transparent pay and equity. And if you happen to live in NYC or SF, where the cost of living is generally higher, we'll make pay adjustments accordingly. Did we mention you’ll be working with a neurosurgeon on work that matters from wherever you’d like to be working from? You can come and visit New York City, where we're based, whenever you want.
