Frontend Developer – AI-Powered Healthtech
Location: North Sydney – Work from Office (Mon–Thurs)
Mission-led startup | AI + React Native | Real-world impact
An ambitious startup building a powerful, AI-driven support platform for families of children on the autism spectrum. The product combines coaching, therapy, and an intelligent assistant to help parents access timely strategies, understand behaviours, and feel supported at any time of day.
You’ll be joining a small, fast-moving team working closely with our CTO to develop thoughtful, user-facing features while integrating real-time AI responses into a clean, responsive mobile app. This is a great opportunity for a junior-to-mid-level developer who wants to grow fast, build meaningful tools, and work hands-on with the latest in AI and app development.
What You’ll Do:
- Build and refine app features using React / React Native
- Turn design specs into clean, accessible UI components (HTML/CSS/TypeScript)
- Connect the frontend to AI systems (e.g., OpenAI APIs, RAG, embeddings)
- Support backend workflows using Firebase and Node.js
- Collaborate with design and product to shape great user experiences
- Write maintainable code, squash bugs, and contribute to basic documentation
- Help design UI to handle AI quirks like latency, uncertainty, or null responses
You’ll Fit Right In If You Have:
- 2–4+ years of frontend or full-stack experience
- Strong skills in React Native and modern JavaScript (ES6+)
- Working knowledge of Firebase or similar backend-as-a-service tools
- Familiarity with LLMs, embeddings, and calling AI APIs
- Experience building mobile UIs for both Android and iOS
- A curious mindset, strong problem-solving skills, and a can-do attitude
- Good communication and the ability to work independently in a small team
Bonus Skills We’d Love to See:
- Built or integrated AI assistants (e.g., OpenAI, LangChain, Pinecone)
- Experience with chatbots, semantic search, or AI evaluation tools
- Understanding of vector search, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), or token limits
- Thoughtful approaches to fallback UI, retries, or dynamic rendering
- Prior work on healthtech, edtech, or parenting platforms
- Familiarity with usability, accessibility, or analytics tagging (e.g., Heap)
What's In It For You?
- Make a real difference in the lives of families and children
- Work hands-on with AI to solve complex, meaningful challenges
- Small team = big impact, fast learning, and true ownership
- Modern stack, mission-led culture, and high trust
- Hybrid model with remote flexibility and 4 days onsite in the North Sydney office
