Real Chemistry Media is transforming how medical and healthcare marketers engage healthcare professionals (HCPs) and consumers through data, technology, and omnichannel innovation. Real Chemistry Media's product and technology teams sit at the heart of this meaningful work by building tools that increase impact. In support of our mission to help life-changing medicines and therapies reach their full market potential, we are building an enterprise platform for omnichannel orchestration in healthcare marketing.

Our technology enables healthcare organizations to design, deploy, and optimize HCP journeys through a scalable, self-service product that connects to their existing marketing and data systems. The platform is live with early users and on track with rapid growth milestones, so the decisions made over the next year will be influential in shaping the product's future.

We are hiring a Lead Engineer, Front End to lead the architecture and hands-on delivery of the interfaces our customers use to build and manage HCP journeys. You will lead front-end engineering, hire and grow the team behind it, and partner closely with the back end lead and product designer so the platform's interface, data model, and design system evolve together. The team is small and we're building a lot, so there are a lot of opportunities for ownership and influence.

What You'll Do:

Lead front-end architecture and hands-on delivery for the platform's user-facing product, from early prototypes through production.

Lead the journey-builder canvas — a direct-manipulation, graph-based interface — as it scales to more complex journeys and larger data volumes.

Define API contracts together with the back end lead, so the interface and the data model evolve as one system.

Drive the code side of the design system and the design-to-code workflow, in partnership with the product designer, who leads the design system itself.

Direct how AI-driven guardrails and model behavior are rendered and made trustworthy in the product.

Hire and lead a front-end engineering team as it grows, setting a high bar for code quality and CI-enforced testing.

Support and set standards for agentic coding on your team, backed by real company investment in the tools, not just tolerance for their use.

Partner with product and design on problem definition, scope, and sequencing from the start of each effort.

This position is a perfect fit for you if:

You are adaptable, resilient, and OK with adjusting your scope, responsibilities, and focus as we grow. When things change, so do we. We’re always evolving.
You are proactive, driven, and resourceful with strong prioritization skills and a desire to dive into the data.
You are highly organized self-starter, able to work independently and under tight deadlines.

What You Should Have:

8+ years in front-end or full-stack engineering, including 2+ years leading a team.

Experience leading front-end architecture for a B2B or enterprise product, ideally one with a complex, data-dense, or direct-manipulation UI (a canvas, graph editor, or similar).

Track record hiring and growing engineers, and running a technical interview loop from scratch.

Comfortable directing and reviewing agentic or AI-assisted coding, with the judgment to know what to hold to human review regardless of how the code was produced.

Fluency defining and maintaining API contracts across a team boundary.

Ability to turn ambiguous product problems into a sequenced, shippable technical plan.

Comfort with ambiguity and a fast-moving, still-small engineering org.

Bonus points for pharma or HCP marketing experience — or any complex, regulated marketing data environment (ad tech, financial services marketing, health systems).

Pay Range: $175,000-$200,000

Consistent with applicable law, compensation will be determined based on job-related, non-discriminatory factors including but not limited to work experience, skills, certifications, and geographical location.

At Real Chemistry, we believe we're at our best when we're connected. Our Real Hybrid and Regional Teams (Real HART) approach is designed to foster collaboration, learning, innovation, and meaningful relationships while providing flexibility where appropriate. Because our workforce spans multiple countries, regions, and client needs, work arrangements may vary by role and location. Some positions offer hybrid or remote flexibility, while others require regular in-office presence. For example, certain teams and regions, including some of our UK operations, have office-based requirements. Your recruiter will discuss the specific expectations for the role you're pursuing during the interview process and keep you informed throughout the hiring journey. For employees located within a one-hour commute of a Real Chemistry office, we require in-person attendance two days per week, either from a Real Chemistry office or when working onsite with clients. Employees in regions without a nearby office may work remotely and come together throughout the year for collaboration, culture-building, learning, and team connection opportunities. While these guidelines reflect our current workplace model, we understand that everyone’s circumstances are unique. If you require additional flexibility, we welcome an open conversation with your recruiter and our HR team to discuss your needs and determine what may be possible.

We continually strive to build and sustain an inclusive and equitable work environment where our employees feel empowered to leverage all they bring from their personal lived experience and professional expertise, to make our team the best in the industry.
