About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Design for expert users operating under clinical pressure across a complex clinical platform.
Own cross-platform design problems and lead the design of major DDM platform workflows.
Define and evolve the cross-surface interaction patterns that give the platform coherence.
Conduct research with users across the platform’s range and design for appropriate complexity.
Balance clinical workflow fidelity with IVD regulatory constraints.
Build interactive prototypes to compress the time between concept and clinical feedback.
Work alongside platform engineering as a peer and translate between the language of design and engineering.
Collaborate with Product Owners and Product Managers across application teams.
Contribute to requirements authoring and maintain design system integrity across teams.
Build influence across stakeholders and develop readiness for team leadership.

Requirements

What you’ll need

A track record as a senior product or platform designer in environments where users are domain experts — clinical, scientific, or technical SaaS where workflows are genuinely complex and simplification is not the answer.
A portfolio of shipped work showing product judgment: hard tradeoffs, designs evolved through validation, and clear evidence that your involvement changed what got built.
Experience designing for multiple, distinct user groups within a single platform — and keeping the product coherent across them.
Experience designing information-dense, data-heavy interfaces: tables, filters, multi-step clinical or scientific workflows, multimodal data views.
Experience in regulated environments (HealthTech, MedTech, scientific software) is a strong advantage. You understand that IVD design is held to a different standard and welcome that constraint.
Strong design system thinking: you understand that platform design produces leverage when its patterns are adopted across teams, and you can balance system coherence with the freedom that innovation work requires.
Comfortable working close to code and close to product: you can author requirements and acceptance criteria, hold a meaningful conversation with engineers about implementation constraints, and build prototypes that go beyond static mockups.
Rapid prototyping fluency — including with modern AI-assisted tooling — used in service of faster clinical validation, not as an end in itself.
Familiar with the engineering vocabulary of data-intensive platforms: APIs, data models, performance, security, accessibility.
Genuine curiosity about the domain — clinical genomics, imaging, and real-world data are technically rich and humanly consequential. The best designers in this space find the complexity more interesting, not more intimidating.
Grounded understanding of AI/ML in a clinical context: not as a design aesthetic or a platform identity, but as a specific capability with regulatory, traceability, and expert-trust requirements. Experience extending AI/ML features within a regulated product — where what you show, and how you show confidence, has clinical consequences — is a meaningful advantage.
Excellent communicator and influencer across audiences — genomics experts, oncologists, pharma partners, engineers, Product Owners, executives. You can tell the story of a design decision in the language of whoever is in the room, and you can earn alignment with POs and PMs who did not ask for your input.
Comfortable with ambiguity. You bring conviction without rigidity, and you adjust when research tells you something you didn’t expect.
Readiness to grow into team leadership. You want to develop other designers and take ownership of a design function, not just your own work.
