Senior UX Designer

A free website where people can share their experience with disease and contribute to research that advances medicine. Join us and let’s live better, together!

• Conduct qualitative research with patients, clinicians, and researchers as needed to define and refine solutions. Involve others in that research to spread the goodness.

• Use personas, scenarios, and storyboards to generate, assess, and communicate about solutions.

• Collaborate and negotiate with user experience leads, PMs, engineers, researchers, marketers, and others to define both medium-term vision and incremental development paths for new functionality.

• Work at varying levels of fidelity, from whiteboard to pixels. You don’t need to be a strong visual designer, but we do expect basic visual literacy and the ability to make use of an established visual system.

• Write clear, concise and compelling interface text, and use those same skills to write design documentation for the engineers implementing your designs.

Minimum qualifications:

• BA/BS Degree

• 5+ years designing software products (preferably including the Web), with demonstrated ability to master complex domains.

• A portfolio demonstrating thoughtful problem solving skills.

• Walk us through your design process, including the problem you were trying to solve and the research and sketches that got you to your final design solution.

• An understanding of what makes a design (especially yours!) useful, usable and delightful...and the communication skills to “sell” it.

• Strong interaction design skills, from workflow to widgets that feature concise instructions.

• Ability to articulate process and design principles.

Additional qualifications:

We’re more interested in design fundamentals than in specific domain or platform knowledge, but we especially love candidates with experience designing any of the following:

Responsive Web sites

• Native mobile apps

• Products for healthcare consumers and clinicians

• Data visualization

• Complex data architectures & data entry

• Content management
