  • Work closely with the Product team and scientific stakeholders to translate product strategy, user needs, and technical constraints into effective design solutions
  • Develop wireframes and quick prototypes to test concepts with external users and domain experts, and iterate rapidly based on feedback
  • Design and refine production-ready interfaces that balance scientific complexity with clarity and ease of use
  • Actively engage with users to understand their workflows and validate design decisions
  • Contribute to the design of flagship applications such as ApherisFold, new products in the ADMET space, other external-facing technical tools, and the Apheris website

  • Strong communication skills, ability to clearly explain design decisions to both technical and non-technical stakeholders
  • Ownership mentality: you take accountability for design quality and are proactive in identifying and solving UX problems
  • A portfolio that demonstrates thoughtful UX decisions, not just visual polish
  • Experience running user interviews, usability testing, or design validation with external users
