Senior Software Engineer, Front End

Axle Health•Santa Monica, CA

1d•$170,000 - $200,000•Onsite

About The Position

Axle Health builds AI scheduling and workforce management software to empower in-home healthcare providers to deliver exceptional, personalized care right where patients feel most comfortable—at home. Some of the biggest providers in the country use our software (like Cityblock Health and U Penn Health System) to improve the utilization of their field teams by 17%+, and automate the operational burden of scheduling and dispatching. Our platform includes proprietary logistics algorithms to optimize scheduling, a mobile app for field staff, an operations dashboard for office teams, engagement and booking tools for patients, and a wide range of integrations and external APIs for modular access. We’re a team of top-tier engineers and operators, backed by $14m from top investors such as Y Combinator, Pear VC, and F-Prime, applying our intellect and logistics experience to upend how home healthcare is delivered. We're looking for a Senior Software Engineer with deep frontend expertise to join our Engineering team, building the interfaces that clinicians, office teams, and patients rely on every day. Axle's platform handles complex scheduling and workforce management workflows in real time, and the frontend needs to make that complexity disappear for the people using it. This role sits at the intersection of product craft and technical rigor, and the person who thrives here cares as much about how something feels as how it's built. Our ideal candidate brings expert-level React and TypeScript skills, meaningful React Native experience, and strong architectural instincts for frontend systems at scale. You've built polished, performant user experiences before (whether at a large consumer product company, a healthcare platform, or a fast-growing startup) and you know how to work across a team without losing your connection to the code.
