What you will accomplish in this role

We are seeking an innovative and technical Staff Product Designer to lead design initiatives at varying stages of the product lifecycle including exploratory innovation prototypes, 0–1 products, and iterative enhancements to existing products.

The ideal candidate will be a hands-on contributor with the ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously. You will be responsible for designing and developing interactive, testable proof-of-concept prototypes using no-code / vibe code AI platforms, enabling early validation with users and stakeholders. You will be embedded in cross-functional pods—made up of design, engineering, and product leadership—you will champion human-centered design practices across web and mobile platforms. Your work will thoughtfully integrate AI capabilities where they deliver meaningful value to our patients, clinicians, and employees—helping shape the future of our healthcare product ecosystem.

What you will do in this role:

• Bridge design and engineering to deliver functional, testable MVPs faster through interactive, clickable prototypes
• Use a hybrid design-engineering approach to reduce time-to-delivery and drive real product impact—not just design output
• Rapidly prototype and iterate based on user feedback, product goals, and technical constraints
• Leverage AI and emerging technologies to explore smarter, scalable user experiences
• Contribute to a lean design system to ensure consistency, reduce rework, and avoid reinventing the wheel
• Collaborate closely with product, design, and engineering teams to shape and validate early-stage concepts
• Focus on execution of functional MVPs while ensuring usability and WCAG 2.2 AAA accessibility to accelerate learning and de-risk decisions
• Create reusable prototype demo components and patterns to support speed and consistency across teams
