Full description
We are looking for a Sr. UI Engineer to help us make specialty medications more accessible and affordable for patients. Keep reading to learn more about the role, our team and why House Rx is the right next step in your career.
The Role
Join our Product & Engineering team as a Senior UI Engineer, a technical leader who brings delightful, accessible, and high-performance user experiences to life. You’ll shape the front-end architecture of our pharmacy management platform, partner closely with product and design, and set the standard for UI engineering excellence across the team. This is a UI-focused role, but you'll regularly work across the stack.
Our stack is React 18, TypeScript, Vite, Node.js/Express, Postgres, AWS, plus an in-house Storybook design system and TanStack Query/Zustand on the client.
What You’ll Do
- Build and ship UI. Build React applications, design-system components, and complex clinical workflows, owning performance, accessibility, and responsive behavior end to end.
- Architect the front end. Design scalable client-side architecture (state management, routing, testing, CI/CD) and define API contracts with back-end engineers so both sides evolve together.
- Raise the quality bar. Lead code reviews and automated testing, and champion semantic HTML, ARIA, modern CSS, and keyboard navigation.
- Mentor. Help junior and mid-level engineers grow through pairing, reviews, and guidance on technical decisions.
- Help shape how we build with AI. See below.
What Success Looks Like
- Day 1: You ship code to production. We release daily, and we want you in that flow from the start.
- First 30 days: You own your first project, from scoping through delivery, working with product, design, and back-end engineers.
- First 60 days: You’ve led a project end to end and are driving code reviews and raising the bar on accessibility, testing, or performance.
- First 90 days: You’ve proposed and begun executing a plan for the design system, state management, or test coverage.
Building With AI
AI is a big part of how we build. Engineers here use AI coding tools daily — Claude Code, MCP integrations into our internal systems (Linear, Slack, Figma, our data warehouse), and agentic workflows for things like code review and research
In this role you’ll:
- Use AI development tools efficiently, proficiently, and responsibly in your daily work.
