Senior Platform Product Designer Job at SOPHiA GENETICS (Rolle)

Job Description

As our Senior Platform Product Designer, you will combine genuine product design depth with rapid prototyping capability and the product judgment to drive design decisions from user research through to shipped features. The Platform Design & Innovation (PDI) is the team responsible for how DDM evolves as a platform: cross-cutting design patterns, the design system, high-value product initiatives, and the translation of complex clinical requirements into coherent product experiences across all application teams.

Job Responsibility

Own cross-platform design problems
Lead the design of major DDM platform workflows across the full product surface
Define and evolve the cross-surface interaction patterns that give the platform coherence
Govern and evolve the DDM design system in collaboration with engineering
Work at expert-user depth - across diverse user groups
Conduct research with users across the platform’s range
Design for appropriate complexity — not for consumer simplicity
Balance clinical workflow fidelity with IVD regulatory constraints
Build interactive prototypes to compress the time between concept and clinical feedback
Run validation sessions with clinical users, oncologists, and pharma partners early and continuously
Partner with engineering, product, and cross-team stakeholders
Work alongside platform engineering as a peer
Collaborate with Product Owners and Product Managers across application teams
Contribute to requirements authoring
Maintain design system integrity across teams
Build influence across engineering, product, data science, clinical stakeholders, and executive leadership

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
Grounded understanding of AI/ML in a clinical context
Excellent communicator and influencer across audiences — genomics experts, oncologists, pharma partners, engineers, Product Owners, executives
Comfortable with ambiguity
Readiness to grow into team leadership

Nice to have

Experience in regulated environments (HealthTech, MedTech, scientific software)
Experience extending AI/ML features within a regulated product — where what you show, and how you show confidence, has clinical consequences — is a meaningful advantage
