Job Information
Ewings Associates, Inc. Frontend UI/UX Engineer in United States
Frontend UI/UX Engineer
Plymouth, MN (On-Site) | 40 hrs/week | Start: Immediate
The Opportunity
The SaaSpocalypse is real. Salesforce, Workday, ServiceNow, and Epic are all feeling it. The per-seat, legacy-workflow model is being dismantled in real time, and the companies that built their moats around it are scrambling. We are not.
Think Harvey for legal, Sierra for customer service, Ramp for finance - vertical AI companies built from the ground up to displace the incumbents, not compete with them on features. We are that company for healthcare.
EWINGS, INC. is a 24-year-old firm with active Fortune 500 clients, battle-tested delivery workflows, and deep regulatory domain expertise that most software companies will never acquire. We are now converting that institutional knowledge into an AI-native operational platform purpose-built for enterprise health plans - one of the most complex, high-stakes segments in the entire enterprise software market ripe for disruption.
This is not a seat-license play. This is not a dashboard bolted onto a legacy workflow. This is vertical AI infrastructure, built AI-first from the ground up, with human-in-the-loop design at its core and agentic workflows surfacing as clear, actionable intelligence for enterprise operators. The incumbents in this space are slow, expensive, point solutions incapable of moving at AI speed. We are not.
We are well-capitalized, operationally stable, and already generating revenue. Live client pilots are underway. The platform is real, the clients are real, and the urgency is real.
You Don't Have to Move to San Francisco for This
For two decades, the most compelling platform opportunities - the ones where you build something that matters, with people who know what they are doing, with real clients and real stakes - have been concentrated on the coasts. The AI wave has made that worse, not better.
This one is in Plymouth, MN.
If you have been watching the AI wave build from the Midwest and waiting for something real to land close to home - a vertical AI platform with Fortune 500 clients, live pilots, domain depth that startups cannot fake, and a founding team that has been executing at the highest level for over two decades - this is it.
The engineers who get in early at companies like this do not look back.
Who You'll Be Working With
Most AI startups are being built by first-time founders who are learning management, sales, domain expertise, and product strategy in real time - at your expense. The pressure is real, the learning curve is steep, and the failure rate reflects it.
This is not that.
The founder and CEO leading this platform brings 24 years of executive operational, sales, and market development experience inside Fortune 500 healthcare - including UnitedHealth Group, Optum, HealthNet, Ascension, and the VA Community Care Network. This is not someone learning healthcare. This is someone who built it.
The broader team matches the ambition. Our operational and delivery leadership includes people who have sat in the same seats as our clients - direct experience inside the nation's largest health plans. That team is complemented by engineers and builders with backgrounds at industry-defining companies like Google and Amazon. You will be working with people who have built at scale before and know what that requires.
The Culture
A lot of companies say they are "AI-forward." Most of them mean they added a ChatGPT integration and declared victory. The engineers who join those teams spend the next two years watching leadership catch up to where the market already was.
We are not debating anything.
At EWINGS, learning and leveraging AI every single day is the starting point, not an aspiration. Every person on this team is expected to use AI tools actively and fluently - not because we asked them to, but because that is the only way to move at the speed this market requires.
The window of pre-adoption in this market is open right now. Our competitors are still holding meetings about whether to adopt. We are already building. That gap closes fast and the engineers who are inside it when it closes are the ones who define what the platform becomes.
What you will find here is a fast-paced, highly collaborative environment with genuine enthusiasm for what we are building, clear ownership of meaningful work, and leadership that has been doing this long enough to know what good looks like.
If that is the kind of environment that energizes you, you will fit in immediately.
About the Role
We are seeking a frontend engineer to design and deliver polished, production-ready user interfaces for an AI-native operational platform serving enterprise health plan operators. This is not a marketing site or a consumer app. This is complex, data-dense, workflow-driven enterprise software built for sophisticated operators who live in it every day.
This role is execution-driven and highly visible. You will be on-site full-time in Plymouth, MN, embedded in a collaborative team environment in a Class A office space, contributing directly to a platform that is already in live client deployment.
Responsibilities
Build scalable, production-grade dashboards and reporting interfaces for enterprise healthcare operators
Develop data visualization experiences that translate complex operational and compliance data into actionable, intuitive views
Design and implement workflow-driven interfaces including status tracking, filtering, remediation workflows, and multi-step task management
Build the human-in-the-loop interface layer where agentic workflows surface as clear, actionable intelligence for enterprise operators
Create responsive, accessible UI components optimized for desktop enterprise use cases
Implement loading states, error handling, and edge case management to ensure a seamless, dependable user experience
Contribute to and extend the existing component library and design system
Collaborate closely with backend engineers to ensure accurate data representation and performant API integration
Apply strong UI/UX judgment to simplify complex processes into intuitive user journeys
Leverage AI coding tools actively and fluently to accelerate component development and sustain high output velocity. This is not optional - it is how we work.
Required Skills
Active, daily use of AI-assisted development tools - Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Claude, or equivalent. Non-negotiable. We are not interested in candidates who treat AI tools as occasional shortcuts.
Proficiency in React and TypeScript in production environments
Strong CSS and utility-first styling framework proficiency, including Tailwind or equivalent
Experience building data visualizations using Recharts, Chart.js, D3, or similar libraries
Solid UI/UX decision-making skills with a focus on enterprise usability and clarity
Ability to work on-site full-time in Plymouth, MN. Required. No exceptions.
2+ years of frontend development experience in production environments. High-performing candidates with strong portfolios and demonstrated AI-native workflows are encouraged to apply regardless of years of experience.
Preferred Skills
Experience working with or contributing to component libraries or design systems
Server-side rendering experience with modern React frameworks, including App Router patterns
Enterprise dashboard or reporting platform experience
Experience with headless component libraries such as shadcn/ui or similar
WCAG compliance and accessibility standards familiarity
HIPAA-compliant or regulated healthcare environment experience
Design system architecture experience
Engagement Type and Compensation
We are open to the right engagement structure for the right person: 1099 contract, contract-to-hire, or full-time permanent. If you are the right fit, we will find the right structure.
Compensation is competitive and commensurate with experience and demonstrated workflow efficiency. We pay for output and capability, not just time.
The compensation for this role includes more than a paycheck. You are joining a vertical AI platform at an early stage, with a founding team that has already built and operated at Fortune 500 scale, in a market with significant defensible upside. For the right person, that context matters. Equity discussions happen in person.
