What the job involves
- As a Senior Front-end Engineer, you’ll help power Beacon's mission by building first-class web applications that
- Drive forward new EEG analysis with data analytics capabilities
- Manage clinical studies of novel therapeutics
- Enable physicians to diagnose patients through at-home sleep tests
- This isn’t just another web app — you’ll be crafting tools that help unlock insights into neurological, psychiatric, and sleep disorders, with the potential to improve lives at scale
- As part of our small, mission-driven Web Apps Team, you will:
- Develop our React/Typescript web applications
- Design and implement UX workflows for clinical study management, data analytics, and patient diagnostics
- Own the user experience, performance, reliability, and observability of the web apps and features you develop, leveraging feedback from real users in a diverse set of use cases and environments
- Partner with product designers and cross-functional teams to develop user-centric capabilities that empower a wide set of user personas, both internally and externally
- Help shape the roadmap and technical direction of our web applications
- In your first 3–6 months, you might:
- Build a new feature for visualizing insights into an ongoing clinical trial
- Develop a physician workflow for turning outputs from our AI algorithms into a customized diagnostic report
- Enable study sites to better manage the enrollment of study participants
- Deploy new features to help our Clinical Operations team track compliance
Our take
The brain has long been considered one of the most mysterious fields of medicine - and psychiatric and neurological diseases therefore one of the least understood. Better access to real-time brain data, however, could change this and that’s exactly what Beacon Biosignals is hoping to deliver.
Beacon Biosignals has developed an AI-powered EEG platform designed to better measure and understand brain activity. Its technology includes a lightweight wearable headband that tracks brain signals during sleep and at home, feeding huge amounts of real-world data into machine-learning models. The aim is to help researchers analyze brain activity faster, identify new biomarkers, and improve the development of treatments for neurological and psychiatric disorders.
The company recently raised major funding and acquired home sleep testing specialist CleveMed as it expands its AI-powered brain health platform. Its FDA-cleared wearable headband is already being used in more than 40 clinical trails studying conditions like depression, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and sleep disorders. By collecting millions of hours of brain activity data, Beacon hopes to help researchers detect diseases earlier and better understand how the brain changes over time.
