The Role
This is a senior Product Engineering role within a tight-knit, mission-driven team. You will own end-to-end features that translate our AI engine into delightful user experiences. You’ll work across the stack, leaning toward backend systems but touching the UI when it counts. Expect to:
Shape the data layer - define schemas, indexes, and migrations in Postgres (with Prisma) so queries stay fast as data grows.
Build dependable services - write Node/TypeScript APIs that serve both ML pipelines and React clients.
Connect the front end - hook those APIs into clear, accessible React screens and refine our design system when needed.
Bring AI features to users - publish model outputs with plain-language explanations and add monitoring to keep them trustworthy.
Ensure security and compliance - meet HIPAA and SOC 2 requirements while keeping CI/CD and IaC workflows straightforward.
Mentor teammates and guide technical direction as Phare grows.
4+ years building production web apps with a Node.js + TypeScript backend and React front end.
Strong PostgreSQL skills-schema design, indexing, query tuning-and hands-on with Prisma (or similar ORM).
Comfortable designing RESTful APIs and writing tests that run in CI/CD.
Product mindset: you own performance, usability, and accessibility from idea to ship.
Bonus points
Serverless or edge deployments (AWS Lambda, Vercel, Netlify) and Terraform for IaC.
Experience with design systems (MUI or similar) and modern a11y standards.
Observability tooling (Sentry, Datadog, Prometheus) and auth flows.
Background in healthcare, fintech, or other data-heavy, regulated domains.
Benefits
Competitive compensation: Top-of-market salary ( $150-220k depending on seniority) plus equity.
Flexible PTO: Generous vacation policy, bonus birthday day-off, work from anywhere up to 1-month each year for hybrid onsite employees, and remote-friendly culture.
