In this role, you can make an impact and grow with us as Tech Lead (Agent Frontend) (m/w/d):

You will take end-to-end technical ownership of the Recare Agent – our AI-native interface that orchestrates capabilities like Voice and Extract+Docs into reliable, compliant workflows for hospital environments. This is a highly visible product area where engineering decisions directly define user experience, reliability, and trust in AI-driven healthcare workflows.

• You own the technical direction of the Recare Agent – from architecture decisions to roadmap execution and delivery predictability.

• You lead the team as the technical backbone and escalation point, ensuring clarity, speed, and quality in execution.

• You design and evolve the agent architecture, especially around agentic UI patterns and orchestration logic.

• You enable the team through hands-on mentorship, code reviews, and removing blockers fast.

• You drive reliability, performance, observability, and security across all agent workflows in a highly sensitive healthcare context.

• You build and ship frontend systems using React and TypeScript, with a strong focus on scalable, maintainable architecture.

• You collaborate closely with Product, Design, and QA to sharpen scope, manage trade-offs, and ensure predictable delivery.

• You ensure production readiness through clear runbooks, stable releases, and measurable SLAs.

How we build:

We use a modern frontend stack to build and ship a highly interactive, AI-powered agent experience that must be fast, reliable, and safe in production healthcare environments.

• React and TypeScript

• Apollo (GraphQL proxy layer; REST-based backend services)

• HeroUI with styled-components

• Storybook (component-driven development)

• Webpack 5 (with parts gradually migrating to Vite / SWC)

• CircleCI (Jest, Cypress, visual regression testing)

• SonarCloud (code quality & security analysis)

• You bring 6+ years of professional software development experience and have led and owned technical directions team outcomes end to end.

• You have strong expertise in TypeScript and React and are confident building complex, stateful UIs with asynchronous or streaming-driven interactions.

• You understand how to design, ship, and evolve frontend systems in a production environment with a strong focus on quality and maintainability.

• You bring solid foundations in CI/CD and testing frameworks (e.g. Jest, Cypress) and a clear interest in deeper engineering topics such as pipelines, caching strategies, and performance optimization.

• You think in systems and trade-offs, and you actively drive for simple, scalable architectures while maintaining a high bar for engineering quality.

• You take ownership naturally – you act as a reliable escalation point, ensure clarity in execution, and help the team stay unblocked and focused.

• You communicate clearly and effectively in a remote-first environment, with strong collaboration skills across Product, Design, and QA.

• You care about security and privacy by design and are comfortable working in a healthcare context where reliability, compliance, and trust are critical.

• You communicate confidently in English and are comfortable operating in an international environment.
