In this role, you can make an impact and grow with us as Tech Lead (Agent Frontend) (m/w/d):

You will take end-to-end technical ownership of the Recare Agent – our AI-native interface that orchestrates capabilities like Voice and Extract+Docs into reliable, compliant workflows for hospital environments. This is a highly visible product area where engineering decisions directly define user experience, reliability, and trust in AI-driven healthcare workflows.

• You own the technical direction of the Recare Agent – from architecture decisions to roadmap execution and delivery predictability.
• You lead the team as the technical backbone and escalation point, ensuring clarity, speed, and quality in execution.
• You design and evolve the agent architecture, especially around agentic UI patterns and orchestration logic.
• You enable the team through hands-on mentorship, code reviews, and removing blockers fast.
• You drive reliability, performance, observability, and security across all agent workflows in a highly sensitive healthcare context.
• You build and ship frontend systems using React and TypeScript, with a strong focus on scalable, maintainable architecture.
• You collaborate closely with Product, Design, and QA to sharpen scope, manage trade-offs, and ensure predictable delivery.
• You ensure production readiness through clear runbooks, stable releases, and measurable SLAs.

How we build:

We use a modern frontend stack to build and ship a highly interactive, AI-powered agent experience that must be fast, reliable, and safe in production healthcare environments.

• React and TypeScript
• Apollo (GraphQL proxy layer; REST-based backend services)
• HeroUI with styled-components
• Storybook (component-driven development)
• Webpack 5 (with parts gradually migrating to Vite / SWC)
• CircleCI (Jest, Cypress, visual regression testing)
• SonarCloud (code quality & security analysis)
