  • Collaborate closely with design, product, growth, and clinical ops
  • Run user conversations with mentors and ops staff to deeply understand needs

  • We move quickly and learn constantly
  • We speak the truth early

  • We hold a high bar for craft and quality
  • We’re small, intense, collaborative, and mission-driven
  • We care about each other, and we care about the millions of teens we serve

  • You have a strong understanding of web app architecture, common design patterns, and performance optimization
  • You’re comfortable with modern web engineering workflows - CI/CD pipelines, testing frameworks, deployment - and you enjoy improving them
  • You love building pixel-perfect, fast, and reliable user interfaces across screen sizes
  • You care deeply about quality and craft, and you’re motivated by creating products that real people love using
  • You’re a clear, direct, and thoughtful communicator who collaborates well with others, * Strong proficiency in JavaScript and TypeScript, and modern React patterns (components, hooks, state management)
  • Experience building and shipping complex, production-grade React web applications
  • Hands-on experience integrating REST/GraphQL APIs, authentication flows, and real-time data (e.g. WebSockets)
  • Experience with state management libraries such as Zustand, Jotai, Redux, or TanStack Query
  • Strong understanding of web performance, accessibility (WCAG), and responsive design
  • Experience with CSS-in-JS or utility-first CSS systems (e.g. Tailwind, styled-components)
  • Experience using Git, writing unit and integration tests, and working within CI/CD pipelines
  • Bonus: experience with Next.js, SSR/SSG patterns, or full-stack TypeScript (tRPC, Prisma, etc.), Job level and actual compensation will be determined by factors including, but not limited to, individual qualifications objectively assessed during the interview process (including skills and relevant prior experience, potential impact, and scope of role), market demands, and specific work location. The listed range is a guideline, and the range for this role may be modified.
