Requirements
Requirements
  • A track record as a senior product or platform designer in environments where users are domain experts — clinical, scientific, or technical SaaS where workflows are genuinely complex and simplification is not the answer
  • A portfolio of shipped work showing product judgment: hard tradeoffs, designs evolved through validation, and clear evidence that your involvement changed what got built
  • Experience designing for multiple, distinct user groups within a single platform — and keeping the product coherent across them
  • Experience designing information-dense, data-heavy interfaces: tables, filters, multi-step clinical or scientific workflows, multimodal data views
  • Experience in regulated environments (HealthTech, MedTech, scientific software) is a strong advantage
  • Strong design system thinking
  • Comfortable working close to code and close to product: you can author requirements and acceptance criteria, hold a meaningful conversation with engineers about implementation constraints, and build prototypes that go beyond static mockups
  • Rapid prototyping fluency — including with modern AI-assisted tooling — used in service of faster clinical validation, not as an end in itself
  • Familiar with the engineering vocabulary of data-intensive platforms: APIs, data models, performance, security, accessibility
  • Genuine curiosity about the domain — clinical genomics, imaging, and real-world data are technically rich and humanly consequential
