About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

The Principal Design Technologist owns the end-to-end experience of Lirio's Agentic platform: how patients and members, enterprise clients, operators, developers, and AI agents discover, integrate with, operate, and get value from it.
As a senior individual contributor and hands-on technical design leader, they turn product strategy into clear personas, end-to-end workflows, and agentic interaction patterns, then prove those experiences with working, code-based prototypes and demos rather than static mockups alone.
They establish and steward the platform's design principles and a shared design system (a reusable component library and design tokens the broader team and AI tooling can build from), ensuring those principles are faithfully realized in the shipped product through close, hands-on collaboration with engineering.
Partnering with technology and product leaders, they help shape platform strategy and lead requirements for the client, user, developer, and agent experience.
The role is Lirio's design subject-matter expert and advocate across both the existing product and the Agentic platform.

Requirements

What you’ll need

Practical real-world experience, preferably in the healthcare space, leading design for enterprise-level B2B2C SaaS products and platforms.
10+ years in product design and/or design technology, including leading design for a product-centric company and shipping B2B2C SaaS products end to end.
A portfolio demonstrating end-to-end ownership of complex, interactive product experiences, including prototypes you personally built.
Hands-on ability to build interactive prototypes in code, including HTML, CSS, and JavaScript/TypeScript with a modern front-end framework (e.g., React or Angular), with comfort working in or close to production code and implementing design-system components.
Hands-on use of AI and agentic coding tools (e.g., Cursor, Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, v0) to build prototypes, components, and design-system assets faster, with sound judgment about quality and review.
Experience designing AI-powered, data-driven, or agentic user experiences (e.g., LLM-driven interfaces, conversational/agent UX, or human-in-the-loop workflows).
Experience designing developer and integration experiences (DX): the usability of APIs, SDKs, and agent interfaces (e.g., REST/GraphQL, A2A, MCP), including how developers and partners discover, adopt, and operate them.
Deep expertise across product design, UX, UI, interaction design, and related design disciplines, with a strong command of visual fundamentals (typography, layout, composition, and color) and consistently high craft.
Fluency with design-system architecture and design tokens (a shared library of UI components, plus the color, spacing, and type values that keep design and code consistent), along with a track record of building reusable design and prototyping assets.
Proven ability to influence design and technical direction across senior stakeholders without direct authority ("lead from the middle"), and to navigate the trade-offs between business impact and user needs.
Excellent written and verbal communication; able to present to director- and executive-level audiences and translate fluently between design and engineering.
Collaborative team spirit with great communication skills.
