Real Chemistry Media is transforming how medical and healthcare marketers engage healthcare professionals (HCPs) and consumers through data, technology, and omnichannel innovation. Real Chemistry Media's product and technology teams sit at the heart of this meaningful work by building tools that increase impact. In support of our mission to help life-changing medicines and therapies reach their full market potential, we are building an enterprise platform for omnichannel orchestration in healthcare marketing. Our technology enables healthcare organizations to design, deploy, and optimize HCP journeys through a scalable, self-service product that connects to their existing marketing and data systems. The platform is live with early users and on track with rapid growth milestones, so the decisions made over the next year will be influential in shaping the product's future. We are hiring a Lead Engineer, Front End to lead the architecture and hands-on delivery of the interfaces our customers use to build and manage HCP journeys. You will lead front-end engineering, hire and grow the team behind it, and partner closely with the back end lead and product designer so the platform's interface, data model, and design system evolve together. The team is small and we're building a lot, so there are a lot of opportunities for ownership and influence.

What You'll Do:

Lead front-end architecture and hands-on delivery for the platform's user-facing product, from early prototypes through production. Lead the journey-builder canvas — a direct-manipulation, graph-based interface — as it scales to more complex journeys and larger data volumes. Define API contracts together with the back end lead, so the interface and the data model evolve as one system. Drive the code side of the design system and the design-to-code workflow, in partnership with the product designer, who leads the design system itself. Direct how AI-driven guardrails and model behavior are rendered and made trustworthy in the product. Hire and lead a front-end engineering team as it grows, setting a high bar for code quality and CI-enforced testing. Support and set standards for coding on your team, backed by real company investment in the tools, not just tolerance for their use. Partner with product and design on problem definition, scope, and sequencing from the start of each effort.
