Frontend Software Engineer

Job description

About Collate Collate is an AI document generation platform for life sciences. We automate paperwork with AI, helping our customers get life-saving innovations to patients years faster. Collate is an end-to-end solution, powering every step of drug, diagnostic, and medical device development—from concept to market. Our CEO [Surbhi Sarna](https://www.linkedin.com/in/surbhi-sarna/) is a former General Partner at Y Combinator. Surbhi founded nVision Medical, which developed a new method to detect ovarian cancer and was acquired by Boston Scientific. Our CTO [Nate Smith](https://www.linkedin.com/in/nateps/) is a former Visiting Partner at Y Combinator and founder of Lever. Our AI researchers, engineers, and designers have worked at Google, Nvidia, Meta, Netflix, Amazon, AirBnB, Hippocratic AI, and Grail, and 40% of our team are former founders. We’re an elite team, with $125M in funding from top investors (Redpoint, First Round Capital, CRV, Conviction, Y Combinator) and leaders in healthcare and AI. This is a rare chance to join an early-stage company with world-changing potential, experienced founders, and resources to execute at scale. About the Role We’re looking for a **Frontend Software Engineer** to define how people experience Collate. The work you do will translate cutting-edge AI into tools that feel simple, reliable, and human — even in the complex world of healthcare. From the very beginning, your fingerprints will be on the product experiences that doctors, patients, and researchers depend on. Collate is a very Frontend heavy enterprise workflow application that is AI native (think Cursor). Customers need to trust the data we present to them and that means providing a high quality, clear and reliable interface to that data. You’ll be designing the layer where life-changing technology meets real people, in moments that matter to real patient outcomes. Modern Tech Stack Collate uses modern TypeScript, React, and Tailwind CSS for frontend development. We use [Next.js](http://Next.js) for progressive application rendering on the server and client. AI & ML code is written in Python, and Go is used for scalable web backend services. ### What You’ll Do - Build responsive, performant web applications that make complex AI-driven healthcare data simple, accessible and usable. - Collaborate closely with design, product, and backend engineers to bring ideas from concept to production. Own your own testing, own releasing software to production and monitor its life. - Create reusable components and frontend infrastructure that scales with the team and product. New challenges arrive daily, always think ahead of the current designs. - Obsess over details of interaction (create delight), accessibility (all people need access!), and performance (if it’s slow, it’s a no-go) to deliver seamless user experiences. - Shape the look, feel, and usability of Collate’s products at a formative stage in the company’s journey. (high quality products need interfaces that are equally high quality to shine) - Partner with backend and ML teams to integrate APIs and models into smooth and information rich interfaces for customers. ### What We’re Looking For - Strong experience building modern web applications with React, TypeScript, or similar frameworks. ([Next.js](http://next.js) and Tailwind experience is a plus!) - A deep care for design, usability, and accessibility — you see frontend engineering as product design. - The ability to translate complex, technical concepts into simple, intuitive user experiences. - Comfort working across the stack when needed, with a passion for owning the frontend experience. - A track record of shipping high-quality features quickly while maintaining technical rigor in complex systems. - Motivation to work in an early-stage startup where your contributions directly shape both product and culture.
