Frontend UI/UX Intern

Frontend / UI/UX Design Intern | Pear Care

Remote | Summer/Fall 2026 | 10-12 weeks (potential extension)

What we do

Pear builds cutting-edge AI infrastructure for healthcare. We're solving patient acquisition and provider discovery with systems that actually reason about medical complexity.

Pear Care is rewiring how patients and providers connect. We build intelligent healthcare infrastructure that takes the friction out of medical workflows—from analyzing patient symptoms to matching them with the right specialists and automating the scheduling process. Our systems parse, validate, and route highly complex clinical data in real-time, operating under strict security guardrails because in healthcare, precision is non-negotiable.

Our team is small. Engineers come from Google, Microsoft, and Visa. We ship weekly.

The role

You'll own the entire surface area of what patients and providers actually touch, not just side projects. We need a hybrid designer-engineer who can wireframe a seamless medical workflow and then build and deploy it to production. Accuracy matters, and UX friction is felt.

Full autonomy. Pick your tools, design the architecture, ship it.

What you'll build

Cross-platform Mobile & Web Apps. Build and maintain performant, responsive applications using React Native and modern JavaScript/TypeScript. You'll own the codebase that delivers a flawless, native-feeling experience across iOS and Android.

Real-Time Chat UIs. Build interfaces that visualize streaming AI text interactions. You'll manage complex UI states for token generation and design feedback loops that instantly map a patient's unstructured typed symptoms into interactive, structured clinical cards right inside the chat feed.

Generative UI. Build chat interfaces that dynamically render interactive React Native components, not just text blocks. When a user asks for a specialist, seamlessly inject a fully functional provider-matching and booking component directly into the conversation stream.

Design Systems & UI Architecture. Take ownership of our existing design system and scale it for high-complexity generative AI use cases. You'll architect the global state management and fluid animation logic required to keep the app rendering smoothly at 60fps, ensuring our UI components can instantly adapt to and flawlessly render the massive, real-time data payloads coming from our agentic backend.

Prototyping and User Testing. Move rapidly from high-fidelity Figma mockups to interactive prototypes. You'll instrument analytics, run A/B tests on UI variations, and systematically iterate based on real user behavior and conversion metrics.

Who we're looking for

You've shipped something real. Not just Figma files that never saw code, and not bootcamp clones. A deployed frontend or mobile app that handled real users or traffic.

You understand frontend at a systems level: global state management, component lifecycles, memory profiling, and rendering optimization, not just pushing pixels.

Strong React Native and JavaScript/TypeScript. You care about smooth animations, bundle sizes, resilient API integrations, and writing UI code that doesn't break at 3am.

Founder mindset. You find UX friction and fix it without being asked. You treat the product like your own company.

You stay current. When a new UI framework, animation library, or design paradigm drops, you test it that weekend to see if it gives us an edge.

Compensation

$4,000 to $6,000/month depending on experience

Paid bi-weekly

Full-time, 40 hrs/week

How to apply

Send your resume, a link to your portfolio, and a link to a live app or repository you've built. We care about the user experiences you've actually shipped to production, not your GPA.

Do you want to emphasize specific design tools (like Figma) in the requirements, or should we keep the focus heavily on the React Native/JS engineering side to ensure they can actually code what they design?
