About Visilant
Visilant is a commercial-stage digital health company founded out of the Johns Hopkins University focused on creating and deploying accessible, AI-powered eye screening technologies to eliminate avoidable blindness. More than 1 billion people live with treatable eye diseases, yet care remains out of reach due to a shortage of eye specialists, long travel distances, and high costs, especially for rural and low-income patients.
The Role
Visilant is hiring a full-stack engineer to play a critical role in building and scaling our core products. You will focus on crafting intuitive, high-performance user experiences across our mobile and web applications, while also contributing to backend systems and APIs that power them.
This is a highly hands-on role where you will work closely with product, clinical, and engineering teams to design and implement user-facing features that directly impact patient care. You’ll help shape how community health workers, technicians, and clinicians interact with our platform—from image capture in the field to diagnosis and follow-up.
If you care deeply about building elegant, user-centered products in healthcare and want to see your work used in real-world clinical settings globally, this role offers a unique opportunity to do so.
Key Responsibilities
Frontend & Product Development
- Build responsive, intuitive user interfaces across mobile and web applications used by health workers and clinicians.
- Translate complex clinical workflows into simple, usable product experiences.
- Own front-end architecture and contribute to design systems and reusable component libraries.
- Collaborate closely with product and design to iterate quickly based on user feedback from real deployments.
Full-Stack Engineering
- Develop and integrate backend APIs and services that support frontend applications.
- Work across the stack to ensure seamless data flow between mobile apps, cloud infrastructure, and AI services.
- Implement dashboards and tools for hospitals to track screening activity, outcomes, and performance.
Healthcare Integrations & Data Systems
- Integrate with healthcare systems, including FHIR/EMR platforms.
- Ensure secure handling of patient data and compliance with healthcare standards (e.g., HIPAA, GDPR).
- Support data synchronization in low-connectivity environments.
Quality & Reliability
- Contribute to testing, QA, and release processes for production systems.
- Support documentation aligned with healthcare software standards (e.g., ISO 13485, IEC 62304).
Ideal Candidate Profile
Technical Expertise
- 3–6+ years of experience as a full-stack engineer with a strong front-end focus.
- Proficiency in modern frontend frameworks (e.g., React, React Native, or similar).
- Experience building scalable web applications and working with backend services (e.g., Node.js, Python, or similar).
- Strong understanding of API design, asynchronous data flows, and performance optimization.
Healthcare Experience
- Experience working in digital health, healthcare systems, or clinical software environments.
- Familiarity with healthcare data standards (e.g., FHIR, HL7) or EMR integrations.
- Understanding of privacy, security, and regulatory requirements in healthcare applications.
Product Mindset
- Strong focus on user experience and usability, especially in complex or resource-constrained environments.
- Ability to work closely with non-technical stakeholders, including clinicians and field workers.
- Comfortable iterating quickly and balancing speed with quality.
Bonus Qualifications
- Experience building mobile applications (especially Android).
- Experience designing for low-bandwidth or offline-first environments.
- Exposure to AI/ML-powered product features or data-driven applications.
- Experience working in global health or emerging market contexts.
