About Medical Guardian

At Medical Guardian, we’re on a mission to empower older adults to live a life without limits. As a leading provider of personal emergency response systems (PERS) and health technology solutions, we’re driven by innovation, compassion, and purpose. We believe great design and thoughtful user experiences are essential in helping our customers feel safe, confident, and connected.

Position Summary:

We're looking for a talented and creatively driven Frontend Developer to join our team - someone who blends clean code with aesthetic sensibility and loves creating visually compelling, high-performing websites that elevate the brand experience.

In this role, you will partner closely with our Marketing Department, owning the UI/UX of our customer-facing digital platforms, our WordPress website, designing, developing, and deploying AI-powered applications across web, iOS, and Android platforms. You’ll also have opportunities to contribute to backend functionality through our PHP-based CodeIgniter system when needed. If you enjoy marrying design with development, care about site performance and user journeys, and thrive in a fast-paced, cross-functional environment, we want to meet you.

What You’ll Do:

• Take ownership of the frontend development of our WordPress website, collaborating with designers and marketers to implement engaging, conversion-optimized pages.
• Design and build AI-powered applications, including web portals and mobile apps, that interact with real-time health and safety data.
• Develop cross-platform or native applications for iOS and Android (React Native, Swift, Kotlin, or Flutter).
• Integrate BLE and LTE-enabled device communication into mobile applications.
• Translate creative briefs and mockups into responsive, modern, accessible web experiences.
• Work with backend developers to connect UI elements with PHP/CodeIgniter APIs or legacy systems when necessary.
• Optimize website performance for speed and SEO using tools like Google PageSpeed Insights and Lighthouse.
• Implement marketing tracking and analytics tools such as Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Hotjar, and others.
• Build intelligent user interfaces that adapt based on user behavior, device signals, or predictive insights.
• Help A/B test designs, optimize UX flows, and improve customer journeys based on behavioral data.
• Stay up to date with design trends, UX best practices, and emerging technologies.

What You’ll Bring:

• 3+ years of professional experience in frontend development or UI/UX roles.
• Strong proficiency in HTML5, CSS3 (SASS/SCSS), JavaScript (vanilla and jQuery).
• Experience developing and customizing WordPress themes and plugins.
• Familiarity with PHP and the ability to navigate backend frameworks like CodeIgniter.
• Strong understanding of responsive design, cross-browser compatibility, and accessibility.
• Experience with performance and SEO optimization tools (e.g., Google PageSpeed, GTmetrix, Core Web Vitals).
• A strong eye for design and detail as this is a developer role, but one rooted in aesthetics and user experience.
• Comfort with modern AI-powered development environments such as Replit, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, or similar tools that accelerate development workflows.
• Ability to leverage AI-driven coding assistants or low-code/no-code platforms to rapidly prototype and iterate on frontend features.
• Understanding of prompt engineering and AI-assisted debugging to streamline problem-solving and refactor legacy code efficiently.
• Excellent communication skills and a collaborative mindset. You’ll be working closely with Marketing, not just Engineering.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience with design tools such as Figma, Sketch, or Adobe XD.
• Familiarity with A/B testing tools and CRO methodologies.
• Basic knowledge of HubSpot, Mailchimp, or similar marketing automation platforms.

Why Join Medical Guardian?

• Be part of a mission-driven company that’s improving lives every day.
• Work in a collaborative and creative environment that values innovation and growth.
• Hybrid workplace flexibility (Philadelphia-based candidates preferred).
• Competitive salary and benefits, including health, vision, dental, 401(k), and paid time off.
