Engineering Manager, Frontend Platform (Ambient AI)

About the Role

We’re looking for a 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.

What You’ll Do

People Leadership & Delivery

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

Ambient Frontend Platform Ownership

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

Developer Experience & Scale

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

Cross-Functional Leadership

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

Technical Leadership

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)
