Founding Software Engineer (UX/Frontend)

At Miracle, our mission is to improve healthcare using technology. We’re starting by accelerating clinical trials to bring new therapeutics to patients faster. We empower clinical-stage biopharmaceutical companies by unifying disparate trial systems and delivering real-time, automated insights that optimize clinical trials. Already profitable and rapidly growing, Miracle serves as the “control room” for clinical trials, saving time in drug development towards FDA approvals and improving patient outcomes.

About the Role

As a Founding Software Engineer (Frontend + UX), you're more than a frontend dev or UI designer. You’re a user experience architect with full-stack awareness. You’ll join a fast-moving engineering team that operates with a high level of ownership and a user-first mentality. You’ll engage directly with users at biotech companies to understand their workflows, redesign and build better experiences, and ship high-quality production UIs. Your work will directly impact how biopharma teams run clinical trials and how quickly patients can get access to life-changing therapies.

We’re reimagining how biotech users interact with their data to make critical decisions. Our goal is to put users in the pilot's seat: building a product experience that adapts to their specific roles, accelerates their workflows, and empowers them to act decisively. No matter how much “AI” is used, it only matters if it blends seamlessly into the user experience to maximize clarity, actionability, and control.

What You’re Looking For

• Ownership & Product Craft: As a founding engineer, you’ll drive how our product looks and feels from first click to insight delivery. You’ll make critical decisions that shape the user experience and visual language of Miracle.
• Full User Focus: You care deeply about how products flow, feel, and respond. You’re not just building interfaces; you’re solving problems and removing friction for real people.
• Design + Engineering Blend: From component architecture to UX wireframes, you’ll think in systems and flows.
• Real-World Impact: Your work helps accelerate clinical trials and improve healthcare for patients waiting on new treatments.

What You’ll Do

• Design and Build: Craft responsive, performant, and intuitive UIs using React/Next/TypeScript.
• Polish and Iterate: Drive interaction design, component consistency, and frontend quality to a high standard.
• User Research & Feedback Loops: Talk to real users running clinical trials at biotech companies to understand where workflows break and where software and AI can help.
• Own Frontend Systems: Help architect and maintain our frontend stack, design system, and UX patterns.
• Full-Stack Flexibility: Collaborate across the stack when needed to integrate frontend features with backend APIs and data pipelines.
• Collaborate Closely: Work tightly with the CEO, engineers, and biotech users to translate pain points into elegant product experiences that solve those needs.

What You’ll Need to Succeed

• 3+ Years Experience: Ideally in early-stage startups or high-ownership engineering roles where you’ve owned UX end-to-end.
• Strong Frontend Expertise: Fluency in React/Next, TypeScript, HTML/CSS. You've shipped polished user-facing features in production.
• Full-Stack Comfort: You're capable of contributing across the stack when needed (e.g., APIs, data integration, infrastructure hooks).
• Design Mindset: You have strong product sense and understand how great UI/UX helps solve user pain points. Bonus if you’re comfortable using Figma.
• Systems Thinking: You build reusable components and scalable layouts, not just pages.
• SF Location: Ability to join us 3+ days a week at our new SF office located near Montgomery Station.

Benefits

• Health & Wellness: Fully covered medical insurance options, plus flexible dental and vision plans
• Financial Security: 401(k), HSA/FSA, and commuter benefits
• Growth Opportunities: Leadership potential in a profitable, high-growth health tech startup

Our Culture

At Miracle, we believe in smart, sustainable work over burnout. We rapidly iterate on our products, remain laser-focused on user needs, and have fun as we build with purpose.

We work together in our San Francisco office at least 3 days a week (Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday).

Our culture is built on a few key principles:

• No Judgment: We encourage questions and open dialogue to foster innovation.
• Open Communication & Transparency: We share ideas and progress openly, ensuring that we make better decisions together.
• Have Fun: We strive to make work feel like a collaborative, high-impact environment rather than a dull grind. Whether it’s bowling night, wine tastings at Napa, or cheering on the Warriors or Giants together, we make time to celebrate and bond as a team.
