About the Role

We’re looking for a Staff Product Designer to own and accelerate the end-to-end user experience across our Clinical AI products. You’ll drive key product initiatives from whiteboard to launch—partnering closely with engineering, product, clinical experts, and our customers.

What You’ll Accomplish

• Own end-to-end product design across high-priority features, from rough sketches to polished shipped experiences

• Deeply understand our users—especially clinicians—through embedded research, shadowing, and feedback loops

• Drive clarity in ambiguity: partner with PMs, engineers, and clinical AI research teams to shape the roadmap and translate complex workflows into elegant, intuitive UX

• Build scalable design systems that enable rapid prototyping without sacrificing quality or consistency

• Mentor designers and influence culture, bringing design thinking into product strategy conversations, critiques, and postmortems

• Act like an owner: whether it’s improving cross-functional tooling or jumping into front-end polish, you’ll do what it takes to deliver great outcomes

We’d Love to Hear From You If You…

• Thrive in fast-paced, ambiguous environments and take initiative without waiting for direction

• Have shipped high-impact product design work in technically complex B2B Saas domains

• Are fluent across the full design stack—research, UX, UI, prototyping, systems—and can pivot fluidly as needed

• Communicate clearly with technical and non-technical partners alike (engineers, clinicians, execs)

• Obsess over the user experience, especially for high-stakes, high-friction workflows

• Operate with speed, experimentation, and a bias toward action

Why Join Us

• Transformative impact: Help shape the future of AI-powered healthcare, directly improving clinician and patient outcomes

• Extreme ownership: You’ll operate with autonomy, influence product direction, and own design from strategy to pixel-perfect execution

• Frontier AI: Work at the edge of generative AI, deeply embedded into real-world workflows

Bonus Points For

• Experience designing for clinicians, healthcare systems, or complex enterprise users

• Hands-on experience with front-end styling or contributing to a design system repo

• A track record of mentoring other designers or helping shape design orgs from the ground up

Pay Transparency

The base compensation for this role is approximately $220,000 - $290,000 per year, excluding equity or bonus. We’re providing flexibility so you can strike a cash vs. equity balance that works best for you. Our philosophy is to offer meaningful equity so our team shares directly in the value we build.
