Elevated Hires is recruiting a **Senior Frontend Engineer** for an opportunity in healthcare technology. This role is designed for an experienced professional who can deliver high-quality work, collaborate across teams, and turn complex requirements into practical results. The position is based in Pittsburgh preferred, or remote, U.S.-based.

Key Responsibilities

- Architect State & Data Fetching: Build custom client-side state architectures and raw data-fetching systems (fetch, AbortController, signal composition, request deduplication, cache freshness, and structured error envelopes with correlation IDs) without relying on heavy external state libraries.

- Maintain High-Fidelity UI & Design Systems: Author and maintain production design-system primitives using React 18 and utility-first Tailwind CSS.

- Deliver Complex Clinical Workflows: Build multi-section clinical forms with field-level validation, partial-save/dirty-state handling, server-side error mapping, and strict date/timezone handling (TZ=America/New_York).

- Enforce Strict Quality & Accessibility: Write accessible UI patterns (focus trapping, keyboard navigation, aria-invalid, dynamic live regions) and maintain high test coverage using Vitest and React Testing Library.

- Protect Patient Privacy (HIPAA/PHI): Maintain strict client-side PHI guards, keeping logs, analytics, and third-party tools completely free of sensitive patient data.

- Cross-Stack Collaboration: Trace API contracts directly into backend source code (Python/FastAPI) and implement router-level authorization models with feature flags.Architect, develop, and maintain modern, scalable web applications.

Q ualifications

- React 18 & State Architecture: Deep mastery of React hooks discipline, context composition, dynamic imports (lazy/Suspense), and building custom client-side state solutions without Redux, Zustand, or React Query.

- Advanced TypeScript: Expert knowledge of generics, discriminated unions, unknown-first API parsing, and strict type-safety.

- Custom Fetching Engine: Direct experience managing client-side request lifetimes, signal cancellation, timeouts, caching, and custom error boundaries.

- Production Accessibility: Practical implementation of complex ARIA patterns, live regions (role="alert"/status), focus-trap management, and keyboard navigation.

- Automated Testing Discipline: Extensive experience with Vitest, jsdom, and React Testing Library, testing by accessible roles rather than internal implementation details.

- Tailwind & Design Systems: Experience building primitive UI libraries with stable prop APIs using Tailwind CSS and design-token systems.

- Date & Timezone Correctness: Strong understanding of IANA timezones, local vs. UTC offsets, DST, and bare business dates.

- Browser Profiling & Monorepo Workflows: Skill in diagnosing re-render bottlenecks, devtool network traces, Git MR workflows, and reading Python/FastAPI backend contracts.

- PHI/HIPAA Safeguards: Strict awareness of data privacy constraints on the client side.

Preferred Qualifications

- Testing & Tools: Playwright end-to-end testing, OpenAPI client codegen, and automated accessibility testing (axe/jest-axe).

- Domain & UI Patterns: Healthcare domain knowledge (cardiology/GDMT, FHIR, care management), complex calendar/scheduling UIs, list virtualization, or WebRTC/Twilio Voice SDK integrations.

- Infrastructure & Build: Vite/bundler tuning, Docker Compose monorepo setups, and SPA delivery (S3, CloudFront, CSP, light Terraform).

- Ecosystem Trends: Familiarity with headless components (Radix, HeadlessUI) and React 19 / Server Components.
