Senior Frontend Engineer

We are looking for a Senior Frontend Engineer to join our Educator Experience team or Course Experience team, and shape the future of medical education. Engineers at AMBOSS are at the forefront of shaping user experience for doctors and students, helping them make critical decisions, ultimately impacting the healthcare of billions of people worldwide.

What you'll do

• Lead frontend engineering projects within both teams, from conception to completion.
• Set the bar for best practices in code health, testing, accessibility, and maintainability, and drive their adoption across the team.
• Champion our AI-first way of working: use agentic tools (like Claude Code) across the development lifecycle, and help the team get more out of them.
• Collaborate with Product and Design to shape requirements, turning ambiguous ideas into well-scoped technical plans.
• Mentor engineers and share your knowledge within the AMBOSS community, contributing to a culture of continuous learning and growth.

What you'll need

• Deep hands-on expertise with modern JavaScript, TypeScript, and React, and curiosity about emerging frontend technologies and practices.
• Proven experience integrating AI coding agents such as Claude Code (or similar) into real production work, and the judgment to know where they excel and where they fail.
• Experience across the full development lifecycle, from requirements analysis and system design through coding, testing, deployment, and maintenance.
• Experience working with shared design systems and component libraries, and integrating APIs (GraphQL and/or REST) from the frontend.
• Deep understanding of accessibility: you treat WCAG guidelines as the baseline, not the ceiling, and advocate for inclusive design in every architectural decision.
• Performance optimization expertise: bundle sizes, tree-shaking, lazy loading, and how architectural decisions affect performance across devices and network conditions.
• A testing and quality mindset, with experience in component testing strategies (unit, integration, visual regression) and building maintainable test suites.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills in English, able to articulate technical concepts and trade-offs to engineers, designers, and stakeholders.

Nice to have

• Curiosity about optimizing processes and learning domain's ins and outs.
• Taking initiatives, having analytical mindset, being proactive and solution-oriented.
• A strong sense of ownership, driving topics end-to-end and mentoring others along the way.
