Metriport is an open-source data intelligence platform that helps healthcare organizations access and exchange patient data in real-time. We integrate with all major US healthcare IT systems and tap into comprehensive medical data for 300+ million individuals.

We've found product-market fit with multi-million ARR, 100+ customers (including Strive Health, Circle Medical, and Brightside Health), backing from top VCs, and years of runway. We're engineering-heavy, operate with minimal bureaucracy and high autonomy, and hire based on competence, not prestige. We push hard—founders work six days a week from our SF office—but give everyone freedom to craft their schedule. As a Design Engineer at Metriport, you'll spend your time understanding customer workflows, designing the best solution to those problems, and implementing your own designs. At Metriport we think of design like a rough-hewn yet elegant table: does its job, looks right in the room, built to last, and finished. You'll bring that sensibility to everything — knowing when a design decision needs more thought and when it needs ship.

We strongly believe in the 80/20 rule here, and rely on everyone joining our team to use it so that we can ship fast, and continue to delight our users!

Build and maintain the design system Establish a coherent design language — components, spacing, typography, color — that is simple.

Lead frontend implementation Set direction on the frontend, review implementation against design intent, and write production code where it matters most. You're strong enough in React to be the authority in the room.

Solve data-dense UI problems Build interfaces that surface complex, high-volume medical data. Make hard layout and performance tradeoffs and know when good enough is correct and when it isn't.

Design instincts: Frontend fluency: You understand React well enough to lead implementation and run reviews — component architecture, rendering behavior, state management.

Pragmatism: You know what to polish and what to ship. Competitive equity + compensation package

Full family Platinum health insurance, dental, and vision coverage

401(k) retirement plan + matching

Flexible work from home or in-office

Healthy lunches complimentary when in-office (and breakfast + dinners as needed)
