Senior Front-end / Full-Stack Engineer

Senior Front-end / Full-Stack Engineer

Ekko | Full-time | Chennai | Reporting to the CTO About Ekko Ekko is an AI-powered healthcare product that turns clinical conversations into structured documentation. Our pipeline transcribes audio, generates clinical notes, and extracts structured data using LLMs. We ship a web app and a backend service used by clinicians who depend on getting it right. We're a small, early-stage team that cares a lot about craft, moves fast, and keeps the chai flowing. The person in this role won't just close tickets. You'll shape how we build the front-end.

The Role We're hiring a Senior Front-end / Full-Stack Engineer to own the experience clinicians actually touch. You'll lead front-end development on our React/TypeScript web app, build the real-time interfaces that surface live transcription and AI-generated notes, and make a genuinely complex clinical workflow feel simple and fast. This is a senior, hands-on role. You'll write production code from week one, set the front-end standards, and partner closely with backend, AI, and product. "Full-stack" here means you're happy to dive into our Node/NestJS services when a feature needs it, even if your heart lives in the front-end. Your users are busy, a little skeptical of new tech, and have zero patience for a clunky interface during a patient visit. The bar is high, and the work is genuinely interesting.

What You'll Do Build and own the front-end · Develop features across our React + TypeScript web app · Build real-time UI for live transcription and note generation using WebSockets (socket.io) · Own state with Redux Toolkit, forms with React Hook Form and Zod, and UI built on Radix and Tailwind · Integrate Auth0 and secure, role-based clinical workflows Raise the bar · Set standards for component architecture, accessibility, and performance · Establish and grow front-end test coverage (we use Vitest) · Own build and bundle quality across our Vite apps Go full-stack when it counts · Drop into our NestJS / TypeScript backend to ship features end to end · Design and consume REST and WebSocket APIs cleanly · Debug across the whole stack, from the browser to the service layer Partner on product and AI · Turn fuzzy product ideas into shippable, well-scoped UI · Design review-and-edit flows that keep clinicians in control of AI output · Be a strong voice on UX, especially in the high-stakes clinical moments

What You Bring · 5+ years building production front-ends, with at least 2 years in a senior or lead capacity · Deep expertise in React and TypeScript, plus modern tooling (Vite, or similar) · Strong with state management (Redux Toolkit or equivalent), forms, and component systems(Radix, Tailwind, or similar) · Experience building real-time interfaces (WebSockets, streaming data, live updates) · Comfort working full-stack in a Node/TypeScript backend (NestJS, Express, or similar) · A track record of owning UX quality, not just implementing handed-over designs · Comfort with startup life: ambiguity, ownership, and shipping over perfection

Nice to Have · Healthcare or other high-trust, accuracy-critical software experience · Experience integrating LLM or AI outputs into user-facing flows · Familiarity with Auth0 or similar identity providers · CI/CD experience (GitHub Actions) · Serious foodies especially welcome; we take team lunch a little too seriously · Bonus points if you can quote more Rajinikanth punchlines than npm dependencies

What We Value These are the values we hire for and live by: ·

People First, Always . Empowered, supported people build transformative solutions, so we invest in our team. ·

Build with Empathy. We understand the pain points of clinicians and patients, and design solutions that feel intuitive and add real value. ·

Pursue Practical Innovation. We innovate with purpose, not novelty, grounded in reliability, simplicity, and outcomes. ·

Move with Humility and Urgency. We're ambitious about hard problems but stay grounded in feedback. We ship fast, learn quickly, and adapt. ·

Think Long-Term, Act Today. We're building a platform for the future of healthcare, making decisions with tomorrow in mind without losing momentum today. ·

Win Together. Great outcomes come from collaboration. Teammates, customers, or partners, we listen, share, and grow as one. Why Join · Real ownership. You're defining how Ekko's front-end gets built, not maintaining someone else's. · AI product depth. You'll build interfaces around live transcription and LLM output, problems most front-end roles never get to touch. · Direct impact. Small team, fast feedback, decisions made in days not quarters. · Good people. We take the work seriously and ourselves a lot less so.
