About Nextnet
At Nextnet, our vision is to build a safe, reliable and friendly AI for healthcare. We are pioneering a new category of Enterprise SaaS in healthcare that intersects Large Language Models (LLMs), cloud-native software stack, and big data in biomedicine. Our mission is to organize and integrate the world's biomedical knowledge and make it accessible.
Our breakthrough: a proprietary AI stack and purpose-built ontologies that analyze disparate and multimodal data (text, sequencing, expression, imaging, etc.), identifying patterns and extracting knowledge into a rapidly expanding semantic web so that humans can quickly find leads buried in mountains of information via an Explainable interface. We do this by leveraging recent advances in software, cloud computing, Knowledge Graphs, UI/UX and large language models.
The scope of the opportunity is massive: We estimate our target market for productivity and knowledge management within Biotech is around $50 billion and growing. There is a tsunami of multimodal data due to advances in optics, mass spectrometry, single-cell sequencing, and other techniques (e.g., CRISPR gene editing), significantly expanding the market opportunity.
With more than 95% of the 30,000 diseases known to mankind having no treatment or cure, this is where Generative AI can make the most significant impact.
About you
To achieve this ambitious goal, the company is extending its engineering team with an experienced full-stack engineer (front-end). This position is open to engineers worldwide, initially part-time and then full-time.
The recruit will routinely walk up and down the technology stack. The following should give you a good idea of the required expertise and tech-fu. Contact us if you feel you've recognized yourself in what follows.
Key Responsibilities
- Nextnet's web application is powered by the latest version of React, written in TypeScript. The company plans to convert it into a desktop application in addition to the classic web interface. The front-end engineer should be comfortable developing not only for the web browser but also for downloadable Elixir applications.
- Since the lion's share of the business logic is hosted on AWS, close familiarity with the AWS Amplify JavaScript libraries is a welcome skill.
- You'll get to craft components and pages in isolation using Storybook and Tailwind CSS based on pixel-perfect mobile-first Figma prototypes.
- If you are familiar with block-based note-taking, the bloc protocol, it’ll boost your profile during the review.
- Familiarity with charting library eCharts is another plus.

Our Engineering Culture
After over 3 years of R&D, we are within striking distance of releasing our first commercial Enterprise software product and scaling our sales and go-to-market motion. We are an interdisciplinary team of individuals passionate about making AI the language of biomedicine. We seek and celebrate diverse perspectives and are committed to building a company and culture that reflects the world's diversity. We hire teammates who think from first principles, thrive on ownership and speed, care deeply about impact and are naturally curious.
Who We Are
We are a small team of Machine Learning engineers, computational biologists, designers and entrepreneurs committed to making biomedical knowledge universally accessible to accelerate biomedical discoveries. We build on experience from founding a breakthrough and fast-growing biotechnology platform company (Mekonos) to our academic training at Oxford, Yale, Duke, and Berkeley, among others and working at Broadcom, Sopra Steria, Computer Associates and the Defense Industry.
Our user base is growing rapidly at ~10% weekly, represented by more than 100 countries, including the United States, Israel, India, Japan, Netherlands, Australia, United Kingdom, Taiwan, Singapore, Italy, Germany, and China. We are already working with multiple renowned Medical Centers, growth stage Biotech and Pharma companies and expanding into the European territories. We are funded by exceptional investors like Hike Ventures and many ultra-high net-worth individuals (UHNWIs).
We are proud to be an equal-opportunity workplace committed to building a team culture that celebrates diversity and inclusion.
Please note that we do not work with recruiting agents or contracting placement firms for the advertised role. Only directly with individual candidates.
