What you can expect when joining the team
As a Senior Product Designer reporting to the Director of Product Design, you’ll join a collaborative team of Product Designers and UX Researchers focused on creating better healthcare experiences.
This is a remote role; however, occasional in-person collaboration at our Montreal office is expected, up to twice per month when needed.
You’ll work as part of a Product / Design / Engineering triad, partnering closely with a Product Manager, Architect, and development teams to turn complex problems and user needs into simple, intuitive, and valuable experiences.
AI is an integral part of how we design. You’ll use AI throughout the design and research process to explore, prototype, iterate, synthesize, and validate faster, while applying strong design judgment and maintaining a high bar for quality.
