Our client operates two fast-growing, early-stage AI companies at the forefront of innovation—one focused on AI-powered video tools and the other on healthcare AI solutions for insurance verification.
We’re hiring a Senior Full-Stack Engineer - Frontend Leaning who can do more than ship tickets. We want someone who has owned projects end-to-end, can lead technical execution, and can raise the bar through strong communication, sound judgment, and mentoring.

- Break down ambiguous problems into clear milestones and drive delivery
- Identify risks early and proactively resolve blockers
- Lead technical direction within your domain: set standards, guide architecture, and make pragmatic tradeoffs
- Mentor and support other engineers through pairing, code reviews, coaching, and unblocking
