About Ash

Ash is a leading at-home health testing platform expanding care to reach those most in need. Working closely with our partners, we tailor end-to-end testing solutions that meet the unique needs of any health organization’s population.

Our strength comes from our unmatched understanding of people, whether that means learning the best ways to reach them or innovating a new way to keep them connected and cared for. We use our deep knowledge to develop field-tested best practices that engage hard-to-reach patients and members where they are. Because when people come first, better health outcomes are possible for all.

Ash is a venture-backed Series A company that has raised $15M to date. Ash is growing quickly and seeking new team members who have experience in developing and scaling startups. As a fast-paced tech startup, we value employees who can take ownership of projects, pivot easily, and iterate until they achieve success. As healthcare enthusiasts, our employee culture prioritizes assisting others - our clients, their patients, and each other!

About the role

Ash’s Patient Portal is where patients register their test kits and receive their test results. It is an essential part of the experience and we have big plans to expand the capabilities it provides.

In this role, you will be the Technical Lead of the Patient Portal team. That means you will own the architecting and development of innovative solutions, providing technical guidance, mentorship, and direction throughout the software development lifecycle. Your direct code contributions will focus mainly on the frontend, but you will be responsible for leading the full stack team. You will also collaborate closely with Product, Design, and other technical leaders.

This role can be remote in the U.S. or hybrid in the New York City area. Working hours are aligned with the U.S. East coast. For candidates in the NYC area, we work in-person in our Chelsea office on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Candidates outside this region must be open to quarterly travel to NYC.

What’s awesome about this role is:

• Impact: this is a critical role within Ash that is central to achieving our mission of making high-quality healthcare easier to access.
• Creativity: you’ll be joining at a time where we are kicking off big initiatives that you will be responsible for guiding, likely including AI-powered capabilities.
• Fast, not frantic: you’ll operate with the speed and autonomy of a startup, but you’ll be supported by a capable, collaborative team that enables you to do your best work. You will drive both customer value and technical excellence.

We’re looking for someone who:

• Has at least 8 years of experience coding websites, with at least 5 years of frontend focus
• Is excited to be both a leader and contributor, with capable project management skills
• Takes a user-oriented perspective, with enthusiasm for solving complex problems in healthcare
• Is comfortable working in JavaScript or TypeScript
• Communicates clearly and often, raising your hand when you have questions

Bonus points if you have experience:

• Building web frontends using React, Next.js, Payload, and/or shadcn
• Building web backends using Python, GCP, MySQL, Kubernetes, and/or Docker
• As a tech lead previously

What we offer:

• The opportunity to join a mission driven team and play a crucial role in shaping the future of the company.
• Inclusive and transparent social culture.
• Challenging work, fast learning cycles, practical training, and meaningful feedback. We want to learn from every member of the team and bring fresh ideas to the table every day.
• Flexible working environment with unlimited vacation time and company provided team lunches.
• Competitive pay, full health benefits (medical, dental, vision), stock options, 401k program.

Commitment to Diversity, Equity And Inclusion

Our company values diversity and believes diverse teams make innovation possible. We work on complex, difficult problems in making healthcare more accessible and inclusive.
