Senior Engineer – Frontend / Mobile Lead

About PressW

PressW is where some of the world's most ambitious companies come to actually ship AI.

We're redefining how businesses harness AI by building real systems for real clients, not just selling slides about what's possible. We're a team of three exited AI founders and a group of Applied AI Engineers based in Austin, and we've been heads-down for the last few years building this firm into something we're proud of: more than 70 production AI solutions shipped, 40+ clients across seven industries, and over $50M in measurable profit gains delivered. We work on the bleeding edge of what AI can do, guide our clients to the right solutions for their business, and ship the infrastructure they run on.

We sell across three divisions. Managed AI is our MSP, purpose-built for institutional investors: private equity firms, venture capital funds, asset managers, and capital markets clients. We map how a firm actually works, deploy custom agents into the workflows that consume deal teams' time (reading deal documents, drafting IC memos, scoring targets, triaging inbound, structuring offers, monitoring portfolio companies), and keep evolving those systems as models and firm needs change. AI Engineering embeds our teams directly with clients to build and harden production AI systems. AI Transformation handles roadmap and readiness work, helping leaders figure out what to build, in what order, and how to prepare for it.

Job Description

You will own the frontend and mobile surface of PressW's healthcare scheduling platform rebuild (codename Phoenix), reporting to the Principal Engineer. The existing product serves hundreds of thousands of monthly active workers across web and mobile, plus an admin interface used by 1,000+ healthcare facilities. Both are being rebuilt from scratch: Vite + React 19 for web, Expo/React Native for mobile, with a shared TypeScript service layer underneath.

This role has two phases. During Phases 0-2 (~weeks 1-20), you lead the identity and access migration, consolidating multiple legacy auth systems onto a modern IAM platform. Once auth is rolled out, you pivot to frontend lead (~week 20-24) and own both batches of the frontend rebuild through the end of the engagement. Mobile expertise is non-negotiable for this team, and this is the role where it lives.

Responsibilities

• Lead the identity and access migration (Phases 0-2): IAM platform deployment, dual-auth middleware, per-tenant auth cutover. This work is the first customer-facing deliverable of the engagement.

• Partner with the Principal Engineer on frontend architecture. Own implementation of the web application (Vite + React 19) and mobile application (Expo/React Native) with a shared TypeScript service layer.

• Ship the frontend in two batches: worker-facing first (schedule viewing, shift pickup, messaging, punch clock, push notifications), then admin-facing (template management, schedule building, reporting, compliance). The admin batch rebuilds the #1 churn driver.

• Enable push notifications on the Expo mobile app. Push is currently disabled. This is a table-stakes feature for a workforce scheduling platform.

• Build the component library and design system in collaboration with the UX Designer, who will have months of research completed before frontend development begins.

• Instrument product analytics and session replay on every new frontend surface (platform selected during Phase 0B).

• Set quality standards for accessibility (WCAG 2.1 AA target), performance, and design fidelity.

• Mentor mid-level engineers; contribute to hiring.

Qualifications

• 7+ years of frontend engineering experience including a senior-level track record shipping production mobile applications.

• Strong React and TypeScript. Production Expo/React Native experience required.

• Demonstrated ability to ship the same product across web, iOS, and Android with a small team.

• Comfortable working in Python. The first ~20 weeks involve auth infrastructure work before the frontend pivot.

• Must have shipped meaningful code in the last 2 years.

Preferred

• Healthcare or scheduling/appointment UX experience.

• Identity and access management experience (SSO, JWT, multi-tenant auth).

• Design system and component library ownership.

• Accessibility (WCAG) expertise.

• AI-assisted development workflows (Claude Code, MCP, agent tooling).
