Senior Frontend Developer (React) (Remote from Germany, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Poland, France and Austria)

About us:

As one of Germany's leading HealthTech companies, we are transforming discharge management by making it technology-driven, patient-centered, and free of bureaucracy. In addition to our market-leading SaaS platform, we are developing AI solutions that radically simplify processes in clinics and for aftercare providers, relieve the burden on healthcare professionals, and put the focus back on patients. We currently connect over two-thirds of all German hospitals with more than 650 rehabilitation clinics, and over 25,000 care and homecare providers. With around 70 employees, we are continuing to grow and are looking for people with the right attitude who want to improve the healthcare system alongside us.

An example:

When patients need to go to a rehabilitation clinic after a hospital stay, hospital staff currently need to find an available rehabilitation clinic offering the services that the patient needs (generally done over the phone or via fax (yes, fax…).

With our solution, hospital staff simply need to import all the relevant information in our platform using a software integration. They can then communicate in a secure way (end-to-end encryption) with the patient's after care providers. A search is started to find a relevant spot in our network of rehabilitation clinics. Patient data and files are transparently and securely exchanged with the relevant parties along the way.
This is just an example for rehabilitation, but we also cover nursing homes, home care and medical supplies. Our product combines a SaaS and a marketplace to automate time-intensive tasks, and let hospital staff focus on their patients rather than processes.

And now, in the next step, we’re going far beyond our core business, aiming to eliminate bureaucracy and media in hospitals with a whole portfolio of AI products.

What you'll work on

Hospital processes are becoming more and more complex, and bringing change is very hard - but we are not afraid:). You'll work on enhancing our patient transfer product to help more and more patients find the best place after their hospital stay. We have an ambitious roadmap and the product is going to change seriously over the coming months - we need to support more types of discharges, integrate more and deeper with hospital systems. Sending and receiving data using end-to-end encryption mechanisms is also a very big part of our stack. We are also working on some new products that will have a strong impact on German healthcare - we can talk about it on a video call if you're interested!

We also have more technical features that are a big part of our pipeline - our solution provides end-to-end encryption to let health care actors communicate securely over a chat and share patient data, both through our apps and with very cool external API integrations.

Tech Stack:

• TypeScript Our entire frontend codebase is in Typescript. We believe a strongly typed codebase solves a lot of problems preemptively. We also use ESLint and Prettier so most of the coding guidelines are automated.

• React Our apps are client-side rendered SPAs with React, and we work almost exclusively with hooks.

• React Native for a native app (both Android & iOS).

• Apollo , a GraphQL proxy to handle data fetching and caching on the client-side (Backend is still a REST API).

• Material-UI and styled-components. Our designers use Figma.

• Storybook for component and story based development.

• Webpack 5 and Babel for bundling and transpilation, with some parts migrated to Vite and SWC.

• CI/DevOps CircleCI runs utest and integration jest tests, visual regression tests (in-house), e2e tests (cypress) and automated code analysis (SonarCloud). It's also used to deploy to our various environments.

We dedicate some of our time to work on non "business" tasks, it means for instance:

• to migrate our frontend to a monorepo structure powered by Lerna and Yarn Workspaces for easier interop between modules than can be developed independently, and easier spawning of new projects with different tech stacks (we have a React Native application for example).

• to continuously optimize the frontend code (our customers are using old computers unfortunately).

• to build a visual regression tool to detect automatic changes in our product.

• to automate the internationalization processes.

• to migrate Jest to SWC for faster unit tests.

• to migrate Storybook to Vite for faster local development.

Our philosophy is that developers are owners of the code they write until it gets to production. We rely a lot on automated tests to ensure everything stays stable - the rule is that code could be deployed at any time - manual QA is only involved in new feature validation.

This is what you can expect from us as a Senior Frontend Developer (React):

• Work with Purpose - Your work has a real impact on patients and healthcare professionals in the medical field.

• Corporate Culture - We embrace structures that foster high performance and strong team dynamics. Our interactions are characterized by mutual respect, loyalty, and recognition. We work together towards common goals and expect the same from you.

• Flexibility - Would you like to pick up your child from daycare? Do you enjoy exercising during lunchtime? We support you in achieving that balance. Besides flexible working hours, as a remote-first company we offer the flexibility to work 100% remotely from Germany, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Poland, France and Austria.

• Edenred card - which you can use in the way that suits you best.

• Professional Development - Your professional development is important to us. We are dedicated to your success and job satisfaction.

• Extra Day Off on Your Birthday - So you can celebrate with your loved ones.

Your profile:

• We are looking for experienced developers. You have a CS degree or equivalent knowledge, and you have been coding full time professionally for 5+ years .

• You should highly value empathy and have pride in your ability to contribute to a happy, engaged and respectful work environment.

• We're not going to ask you to reverse a binary tree but you should be comfortable manipulating standard data structures and be familiar with the modern Web i.e. HTML and ECMAScript standards.

• We're looking for someone with production experience with React. You should be able to discuss some common performance pitfalls of React and possible workarounds.

• You should be comfortable and excited to dive into more advanced Frontend topics, e.g. build pipelines, bundle analysis, caching mechanisms, rendering approaches.

• Since we're a small team, we had to automate a lot. You should have experience with CI and testing frameworks.

• Frontend evolves a lot, so you need to be up to date with best practices. We're looking for people who will proactively try to improve DX, the life of the team and of our customers - making better tooling for instance. But we're not into trying every alpha-package on npm (actually, the more we can reduce our bundles the better;).

• You want to become a technical owner of a part of our code base - we need people who are looking for responsibilities.

• We have people with different levels of experience within our teams, and you as a senior developer are expected to support and actively interact with the different members and foster a positive growth environment.

• You are proactive and proficient in the entire product development flow: asking questions, clarifying specs, raising doubts and engaging in meetings.

• Product and Engineering work in a fully remote setup where writing skills are more and more important, so written questions/requirements/docs are very valuable.

We’re looking forward to hearing from you!
