Job Description

Responsibilities:

  • Product Design & Systems Thinking: Apply strong UX foundations to design scalable, intuitive workflows for complex scientific and research applications.
  • Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner closely with Product Managers, Engineers, and Scientists to craft solutions that simplify intricate user journeys.
  • User-Centered Solutions: Synthesize user problems into elegant, consumer-grade solutions that optimize workflows and data input experiences.
  • End-to-End Ownership: Lead design projects from concept to execution, ensuring a high standard of usability and aesthetics.
  • Communication & Influence: Effectively communicate design decisions and rationale across teams and stakeholders.

What You Bring:

  • 4+ years in SaaS product design with a track record of shipping great products with complex workflows
  • Strong systems-thinking mindset to break down and simplify intricate processes.
  • Deep UX expertise from academic training (Bachelors or Masters in UI/UX) or industry experience.
  • A refined, consumer-grade aesthetic sense in design execution.
  • Strong communication and collaboration skills.
  • Local to the Bay Area.
  • Big plus: Experience designing for scientists, researchers, or data-heavy domains.
  • Big plus: Experience in startups or startup-like environments.
