What You’ll Do
- Design and ship product features end-to-end (Figma → React/TypeScript → production).
- Translate messy compliance workflows - audit prep, universe scrubbing, regulatory tracking - into elegant product experiences.
- Build and maintain the design system: components, patterns, interaction standards that scale.
- Partner directly with customers - sit in on calls, understand their pain, design from that understanding.
- Own brand and visual identity across product, marketing site, and customer-facing materials.
- Make smart tradeoffs between polish, speed, and shipping.
- Strong across design frontend code: Figma, React, TypeScript, CSS/Tailwind.
- Portfolio that shows both - design thinking and what actually shipped to production.
- Hunger: High agency, a willingness to learn, and a drive to do whatever it takes.
- Customer-obsessed: Confusing UX keeps you awake at night.
- Comfortable with complexity: You've designed for data-heavy B2B workflows, multi-step processes, or enterprise users - not just consumer apps.
- Intellectually humble: Low ego, high curiosity, collaborative.
- Biased toward action: You ship, you don't wait for a spec.
- First design engineer hire. You define the design culture, system, and visual language.
- Career-defining experience: set the bar for an entire product category that hasn't been designed well. Ever.
- Hyper-growth environment (10× YoY - you’ll feel it).
- A real chance to fix healthcare’s most expensive problem with AI.
- Weekly pickleball 🏓 a team that loves to win together.
Salary : $150,000 - $210,000
