Web App Designer

About Us

Bexorg is at the forefront of transforming drug discovery by restoring molecular activity in postmortem human brains. Using our innovative BrainEx platform, we can perform experiments on functionally preserved human brain tissue and generate massive, detailed datasets that propel AI-driven discoveries in CNS disease treatment. We seek a Web App Designer who is both creative and technically skilled to bring this data to life. In this onsite role, you will craft beautiful, intuitive web applications that visualize the richness of our proprietary brain data. Your work will empower scientists and stakeholders to explore complex multi-scale datasets in real time, making the breakthrough science happening at Bexorg accessible and actionable through outstanding design and engineering.

The Job

• Innovative Data Visualization: Invent and implement novel data visualizations that convey the richness and complexity of Bexorg’s brain data. You will design interactive graphics and charts that illuminate patterns across molecular, cellular, and whole-brain scales, allowing users to intuitively grasp insights from our high-dimensional datasets.
  
• Web Application Development: Build and maintain a user-friendly web application that serves as the portal to our BrainEx data. Using modern web technologies, create responsive dashboards and interactive tools (e.g., using Python Dash or a JavaScript framework) so scientists can query and manipulate data through a rich visual interface.
  
• User Experience Design: Take ownership of the end-to-end user experience for data exploration. Work closely with neuroscientists, data scientists, and other end-users to understand their needs, then translate those requirements into clean UI layouts and fluid, engaging interactions. Continuously refine the interface through user feedback to optimize clarity and usability.
  
• Full-Stack Collaboration: Collaborate with data engineers and backend developers to ensure the web app seamlessly integrates with our data infrastructure. You will help define API needs, handle data fetching and caching intelligently, and ensure that even petabyte-scale data can be navigated smoothly in the front end without performance bottlenecks.
  
• Visual Storytelling: Think creatively about how to represent complex scientific stories through design. Whether it’s layering multiple data modalities in one view or creating new types of graphs, you will push the boundaries of conventional visualization to effectively communicate results and hypotheses. Document your design decisions and share visualization best practices with the team.

Skills and Qualifications

• Technical Proficiency: Fluent in modern web and data visualization technologies. This includes strong skills in JavaScript/TypeScript and front-end frameworks (such as React) as well as experience with data visualization libraries like D3.js or WebGL-based tools. Familiarity with Python web frameworks (Dash, Flask, or similar) and the ability to integrate Python-driven analytics into web interfaces is highly desired.
  
• Design & UX Skills: A keen eye for design and usability. You can create clean, visually appealing layouts and have a deep understanding of how to present complex data in an understandable way. Experience with graphic design or UI/UX principles for dashboard design is a plus.
  
• Data Visualization Experience: Proven experience (through projects or prior work) building interactive data visualizations or analytics dashboards. You’re comfortable working with charts, graphs, and possibly custom visualization of large datasets. Experience representing scientific or multi-dimensional data (e.g., genomics, neuroscience, or imaging data) would be beneficial.
  
• Creative Problem Solver: Ability to think outside the box in crafting new ways to visualize information. You enjoy prototyping innovative solutions and iterating quickly. Strong problem-solving and debugging skills in the context of web development and data handling.
  
• Communication & Collaboration: Excellent communicator who can work closely with a diverse team. You can translate abstract scientific concepts into concrete visual requirements, explain your design ideas, and also understand technical constraints. Being able to collaborate with scientists and adjust to feedback is essential.
  
• Driven by Purpose: Passion for both technology and science. You are excited about Bexorg’s mission and the opportunity to contribute your talents to accelerate breakthroughs in brain research. Your enthusiasm for creating tools that advance understanding of CNS diseases drives you to produce exceptional work.
