About Pair Team
At Pair Team, we’re an innovative, mission-driven company reimagining how Medicaid serves the most underserved populations. As a tech-enabled medical group, we deliver whole-person care—clinical, behavioral, and social—by partnering with organizations deeply connected to the communities we serve.
We’re building a powerful care management platform that leverages AI and automation to scale meaningful, human-centered care. Our work is driven by top talent across clinical care, technology, product, and operations—working together to improve access and outcomes for all our patients.
We’re one of the largest Enhanced Care Management providers in California and are on track to build the nation’s largest clinically integrated network supporting high-need Medicaid members. Our model has demonstrated real impact, including a 58% reduction in emergency department visits and a 29% reduction in hospital admissions.
At Pair Team, we’re not just delivering care—we’re building the future of a more equitable, community-rooted Medicaid system.
About the Opportunity
We’re looking for a builder who sweats the details and sees product quality as a shared responsibility. If you live in the space where design meets code—and care deeply about elegant, accessible, and performant user interfaces—you’ll feel right at home here.
In this role, you’ll:
- Own the frontend experience for high-impact features used by patients, care teams, and clinical partners across the country
- Collaborate closely with product managers and designers to bring complex workflows to life with clarity and craft
- Lead frontend architecture and help evolve our design system, component libraries, and developer tooling
- Shape the future of our care delivery platform—balancing technical quality, user needs, and mission-driven urgency
- Stay plugged into modern frontend trends (think Tailwind, SSR, animations, AI-assisted UX), and bring those ideas into production
- Help mentor others, review code, and raise the bar across our engineering team
This is a unique opportunity to build software that’s both beautiful and impactful —improving care access for vulnerable populations while pushing the boundaries of frontend excellence.
