Who We Are

Citizen Health was founded on the belief — shaped by firsthand lived experiences navigating healthcare — that having the right advocate is the single most important factor in achieving better care and outcomes. By uniquely combining data, AI, and community, Citizen is building a personalized AI advocate powered by patients' complete medical histories and data from thousands of other patients to generate personalized insights for clinical decisions and day-to-day challenges. Starting in rare and complex conditions, patients share their data in exchange for value, enabling biopharma and researchers with seamless access to patients and regulatory-grade data, shaving years off drug development for much-needed treatments.

Citizen is founded by experienced entrepreneurs with multiple successes under their belts and is funded by top-tier investors including 8VC, Transformation Capital, and Headline Ventures, among others. We are a mission-driven team excited to be building the future of consumer healthcare.

The Role

We're seeking a Senior Product Engineer to work on the development of our patient, partner, and company web applications. This role is crucial in creating intuitive, efficient, and responsive user interfaces that will directly impact our users' experience and our platform's success.

As a key part of our engineering team, you will build high-performance, scalable, and accessible user interfaces that use AI to serve diverse user groups including rare disease patients, healthcare providers, researchers, and our internal teams.

You will join a team that highly leverages the latest AI coding assistants (e.g. Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, etc.) to implement features at very high velocity.

Your work will be at the heart of our mission, translating complex health data and research findings into user-friendly interfaces that empower patients, facilitate groundbreaking research, and streamline our internal operations.

Who You Are

You are a builder and problem solver at heart who loves working in fast-paced, innovative environments. You have experience working in consumer technology companies and have also worked on products that deal with complex data and systems. You love start-ups and can operate autonomously knowing that collaboration is the key to your success.

You will likely be a fit if you have

  • 5+ years of experience in product engineering, with a focus on complex single-page applications (SPAs) and a proven track record of launching consumer-facing products

  • Expert-level proficiency in JavaScript/TypeScript, React, and modern CSS (including CSS-in-JS solutions)

  • Strong product sense and UX instincts where you’ll derive decisions from user needs, data, and experiments.

  • Strong understanding of web performance optimization techniques, scalability, and security

  • Experience with front-end testing frameworks (e.g., Jest, React Testing Library, Cypress)

You will receive bonus points if you have

  • Experience with state management solutions (e.g., Redux, MobX, or Recoil)

  • Familiarity with modern build tools, module bundlers, and CI/CD pipelines

  • Knowledge of responsive design principles and cross-browser compatibility

  • Proven track record of high-quality coding and architectural design

Why Join Us?

At Citizen Health, you will be part of an ambitious mission to build innovative AI-driven solutions that redefine the consumer healthcare experience and improve outcomes for millions. We value curiosity, creativity, and collaboration, and we believe in empowering every team member to have an impact. Here, you’ll find:
