Founding Frontend Engineer

Solstice Health, New York, NY, United States


Why you should join us

Solstice is redefining how life sciences organizations commercialize their products. We are building a commercial engine that allows pharmaceutical marketers to take control of their content supply chain. Some reasons for why you should join us are:
Rapid growth:

Over the past year, we have been working with some of the top life sciences manufacturers as well as marketing agencies and are working with over 50+ pharma brands.
Frontiers of technology:

We're building applications and rapidly iterating technical approaches at the frontiers of AI, experimenting with LLMs and new frameworks. We have V2 of the platform currently deployed to customers but are incorporating new, advanced frameworks to our solution aggressively.
Top-tier investors:

We've raised $3.5mm+ from investors like Twelve Below, Virtue and the founders of Datavant, Commure, and Paradigm to supercharge our growth and build an elite team of engineers and operators.
A blank canvas to shape the product:

We're still early-this is the rare chance to define the UX foundation, the design system, and the visual identity of a category-defining platform before it scales.
Building anything great requires commitment and dedication. We're looking for someone who has the fire to prove others wrong
