Senior Engineering Manager, Frontend Platform (Ambient AI)

Commure•San Francisco, CA

About The Position

We’re looking for a Senior Engineering Manager to lead the Frontend Platform team powering our Ambient AI products. This team builds and owns the core frontend foundations used across clinician-facing experiences: ambient capture, real-time note generation, review & edit flows, copilot-style assistance, admin tooling, and integrations embedded into clinical workflows. Ambient is a high-throughput, low-latency, high-reliability product used by clinicians during live patient encounters. The frontend platform is critical: it must be fast, resilient, accessible, and intuitive under real-world clinical conditions. Your team’s work directly impacts provider trust, documentation quality, and time saved per visit. This role is ideal for a leader who has scaled frontend platforms for complex, data-heavy, real-time products and who is excited about owning the foundations that enable multiple Ambient product teams to move fast without sacrificing quality or safety.

Requirements

7+ years of engineering experience, including 3+ years managing frontend or platform teams
Experience leading frontend platforms, shared UI infrastructure, or design systems
Strong expertise with modern frontend stacks (e.g. React, TypeScript, modern build tooling)
Experience supporting real-time, data-intensive, or mission-critical user workflows
Proven ability to deliver platform capabilities used by multiple product teams
Strong communication skills and comfort influencing product and technical direction

Nice To Haves

Experience building clinician-facing, enterprise, or regulated products
Familiarity with AI-driven or ML-powered user experiences
Experience with mobile + web shared platforms or cross-surface design systems
Background in healthcare, fintech, or other high-reliability domains

Responsibilities

Lead and grow a senior team of frontend platform engineers supporting Ambient AI
Set clear technical and execution standards in a high-bar, healthcare-grade environment
Coach engineers on scope ownership, technical decision-making, and cross-team influence
Hire and develop engineers who can operate across platform, product, and design boundaries
Own planning, execution, and delivery for platform initiatives with clear product impact
Own the frontend platform used across Ambient experiences (web, mobile, embedded surfaces)
Lead architecture for real-time and async workflows (audio capture, streaming updates, AI state transitions)
Build and scale shared UI primitives, component libraries, and design systems used across Ambient
Improve frontend performance, latency, reliability, and offline/poor-network behavior
Establish patterns for error handling, loading states, partial data, and confidence signaling in AI workflows
Create strong frontend abstractions that reduce duplication across Ambient product teams
Improve local dev, testing, CI/CD, and release workflows for frontend engineers
Define standards for frontend observability, performance metrics, and user-impact monitoring
Partner with backend and ML teams to define clean contracts between AI systems and UI layers
Partner deeply with Product to translate clinical workflows into scalable UI platforms
Work closely with Design to evolve clinician-grade design systems and accessibility standards
Collaborate with Compliance and Security to ensure frontend patterns meet healthcare requirements
Influence frontend technical direction across the broader engineering organization
Drive architectural reviews and RFCs for major Ambient frontend initiatives
Help teams navigate tradeoffs between speed, quality, and safety in AI-driven UX
Stay close enough to the code and architecture to unblock complex problems when needed
Ensure platform decisions anticipate future scale (new care settings, modalities, and products)
