Senior Front-end Engineer

As a Senior Front-end Engineer, you’ll help power Beacon's mission by building first-class web applications that

• drive forward new EEG analysis with data analytics capabilities
• manage clinical studies of novel therapeutics
• enable physicians to diagnose patients through at-home sleep tests

This isn’t just another web app — you’ll be crafting tools that help unlock insights into neurological, psychiatric, and sleep disorders, with the potential to improve lives at scale.

This role is 100% remote from anywhere in the U.S. Beacon's robust asynchronous work practices ensure a first-class remote work experience, but we also have in-person office hubs located in Boston and New York.

What success looks like

As part of our small, mission-driven Web Apps Team, you will:

• Develop our React/Typescript web applications.
• Design and implement UX workflows for clinical study management, data analytics, and patient diagnostics.
• Own the user experience, performance, reliability, and observability of the web apps and features you develop, leveraging feedback from real users in a diverse set of use cases and environments.
• Partner with product designers and cross-functional teams to develop user-centric capabilities that empower a wide set of user personas, both internally and externally.
• Help shape the roadmap and technical direction of our web applications.

In your first 3–6 months, you might:

• Build a new feature for visualizing insights into an ongoing clinical trial.
• Develop a physician workflow for turning outputs from our AI algorithms into a customized diagnostic report.
• Enable study sites to better manage the enrollment of study participants.
• Deploy new features to help our Clinical Operations team track compliance.

What you will bring

• 8+ years of experience in front-end web development (React and Typescript).
• Experience developing data-rich applications involving interactive visualization and manipulation of large amounts of data.
• A product mindset — you care deeply about UX, edge cases, and performance.
• You're familiar with GraphQL-based APIs, and can build consumers that scale well.
• You're adept at identifying optimization bottlenecks, and debuggers and code profiling tools are an important part of your toolkit.
• Strong communication skills and comfort working in a collaborative, async environment.

Bonus points if you've:

• Worked on applications for clinical trials, patients, or in some other regulated environment.
• Have experience in EEG or with DSP.
• Have worked on back-end systems or infrastructure.
• Contributed to open source React/Typescript projects.
