Founding Full Stack Engineer (FE Focus) - Atrix

At Atrix, our journey began with a simple belief:
Breakthrough medicines and technologies change lives, and the people making them deserve better tools.

We often celebrate the final moment: a patient receiving a life-saving therapy or a groundbreaking treatment becoming standard of care.
But behind that moment is a complex, coordinated effort that begins years earlier.

Pharmaceutical and med device companies shoulder this responsibility every day:

• Advancing science from lab to clinic

• Navigating regulatory and access barriers

• Ensuring safe, evidence-based adoption in the real world

They’re not just bringing products to market; they’re shaping the future of care.

Yet these organizations are often held back by outdated workflows and siloed data, unable to fully harness the knowledge that already exists across their teams.

Atrix was built to change that.

We exist to support the mission of those who dedicate their lives to creating and delivering innovations that impact global health.

The Role Description

You’ll be a core builder of the Atrix AI-native platform, designing and shipping features that turn complex healthcare and AI workflows into intuitive, elegant interfaces, trusted by scientific, medical, and commercial teams across top pharma companies.

From crafting thoughtful front-end UX to building robust backend systems, you’ll help bridge our AI core with real-world customer pain points, working on problems that genuinely move the needle in patient care.

We’re building a modular, agentic platform that connects to customer-approved data sources, transforms messy, unstructured data using advanced AI, and delivers structured, actionable insights that drive decisions in regulated environments.

You’ll tackle rich engineering challenges across:

• ⚡️ Performance — We’re processing large data sets at once

• 🔐 Security & Privacy — Customers trust us with sensitive data

• 🧠 Explainability — AI outputs must be verifiable and traceable

• 🧩 Composable UI/UX — Interfaces need to adapt to varied use cases, from chat to dashboards to spreadsheets

You’ll work closely with our Engineering Lead and CEO, and collaborate as a peer to product, design, and GTM leadership. As one of our earliest engineers, you’ll help define technical architecture, influence product strategy, and set the tone for future engineering hires.

💡 This is an in-person role based in NYC, with flexibility for remote work on some days as needed.

Responsibilities

This role is perfect for someone who is customer-obsessed, technically fluent, and thrives in fast-moving startup environments. If you love the challenge of translating AI workflows into intuitive product experiences in a high-stakes industry, we want to talk to you.

In this role, you will:

• Own and evolve our web stack (React/Next.js + Python) to support fast, reliable AI-native workflows

• Collaborate directly with product and design to shape user-facing features from spec to ship

• Translate complex backend data structures into intuitive, delightful interfaces

• Debug and improve frontend and backend systems to increase performance and reduce latency

• Attend key customer and sales meetings to understand real-world workflows and incorporate feedback into product design

• Drive architectural improvements to support scale, modularity, and developer velocity

• Take full ownership of core product modules across the stack.

Must haves

• 5+ years experience as a fullstack or frontend-focused engineer

• Previous B2B and startup experience required

• Expertise in React/Next.js and frontend systems architecture

• Comfortable working across the stack in Python when needed

• Passionate about user experience and shipping polished, performant UIs

• Proven ability to own projects end-to-end, from planning to deployment

• Experience with distributed systems, APIs, and performance optimization

• Desire to get involved in customer meetings, hear their feedback, and help translate that to a delightful experience

Nice to haves

• Experience in life sciences, health tech, or AI-driven applications

• Familiarity with prompt engineering or building tools on top of LLMs

• Obsession with elegant design and developer velocity
