Now we want to scale to millions and build the most loved consumer brand in healthcare.\nWe have developed a foundation model trained on longitudinal patient data from Mayo Clinic to predict how patients may respond to different treatments, allowing us to personalize care. This moves beyond explaining medical information toward helping answer one of the most important questions in cancer care: Which treatment is most likely to help this particular person?\nBut even the most advanced model only matters if its insights help people make better decisions. One of the biggest challenges in AI is turning sophisticated predictions into information people understand, trust, and can act on.\nHow do you present treatment options to someone who has just been diagnosed? How do you explain a prediction and its uncertainty? What makes someone trust Radical enough to use its insights in a conversation with their oncologist, and keep relying on us throughout their care?\nWe are hiring a founding design engineer to help answer these questions. You will shape our patient platform and the Radical brand, working directly with our founders, including Simone, our CEO, and Bryan, our CTO.\nWhat you will own\nTurn foundation model recommendations into treatment change\nTranslate predictions from our foundation models into second opinion reports that help patients understand what the results mean for them. Work with our technical and clinical teams to communicate treatment options, predicted response, and uncertainty through clear language and thoughtful visualizations, building trust and confidence to pursue appropriate treatment changes with their oncologist.\nBuild and implement the most loved consumer brand in healthcare\nBuild a distinctive Radical identity that combines clinical credibility with warmth and humanity, and translate it into a consistent experience across our landing pages, product, and patient touchpoints. Design, build, ship, and test rapidly to learn what earns patients’ trust and makes them love using Radical.\nBuild an experience patients love coming back to\nWork directly with patients and the care team to understand where people feel confused, reassured, frustrated, or supported. Use those insights to improve the product continuously.\nShape the journey from connecting medical records and receiving a first opinion to eventually running their care end to end. Help patients feel that Radical understands their situation and gives them a clear next step.\nWho we are looking for\nYou have designed and built consumer products that people love. Your work demonstrates strong visual taste, thoughtful product decisions, and the engineering ability to bring them to life.\nYou are likely to do well here if:\nYou care about building an enduring consumer brand and can translate that ambition into a distinctive product experience.\n\nYou have excellent visual and interaction design skills, with a strong sense of typography, hierarchy, layout, and motion. You can make complex information understandable without hiding important nuance.\n\nYou use AI tools fluently to prototype, code, and explore ideas.\n\nYou are comfortable owning outcomes such as activation and retention, and using data alongside design judgment.\n\nYou enjoy speaking directly with users and changing your mind when their experience challenges your assumptions.\n\nYou can take an ambiguous problem, explore different approaches, and ship a polished experience yourself.\n\nHealthcare experience is helpful but not required. Empathy, curiosity, and a desire to work closely with cancer patients are essential.\nThis role may not be right for you if\nYou prefer to hand off designs for someone else to implement.\n\nYou care more about how a product looks than whether people understand it and continue using it.\n\nYou need a detailed brief, an established design system, or fully defined requirements before you can start.\n\nYou prefer remote work. This team works together in person in San Francisco every day.\n\nWhat Radical offers\nCompetitive base salary.\n\nMeaningful early stage equity.\n\nMedical, dental, and vision coverage.\n\nVisa and relocation support, including O-1 and H-1B support where applicable.\n\nAn Equinox membership and free meals in the office.\n\nQuarterly company offsites. Past trips include Costa Rica and Las Vegas.\n\nWork directly with the founders, including our CEO, on core product and brand decisions.\n\nOur hiring process\nWe aim to complete the process within two weeks:\nConversation with Simone, Founder and CEO: Your motivations, the Radical mission, and what you want to build next.\n\nPortfolio and technical conversation with Bryan, CTO: Walk us through something you personally designed and built, including your decisions, implementation, and what you learned from users.\n\nPatient experience assignment: Explore how you would turn a complex clinical insight into an experience that builds understanding, trust, and ongoing value.\n\nPaid working session in our San Francisco office: Work with the team on a real but self-contained product problem. We will evaluate how you think, design, build, and respond to feedback.\n\nReferences and offer.\n\nApply\nSend us your resume or LinkedIn profile and one or two examples of products or experiences you personally designed and built. Live products, interactive prototypes, and code are welcome.\nIn a few sentences, tell us what you owned, one detail you cared deeply about, and how your work changed the way people used or felt about the product.\nKnow someone who might be a fit? Send us the strongest design engineer in your network. If we hire them, we will thank you with an iPhone 17 Pro or AirPods Max.","description_format":"text","description_chars":5948,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":true,"industries":["Machine Learning","Medical AI"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-25T22:56:09Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":29,"band":"fade","label":"Fading","p_open":1,"p_active":0.531,"p_room":0.55,"age_days":34,"expected_fill_days":23,"reasons":["conf:1","win:tail"],"computed_at":"2026-10-21T05:46:15Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/radical-health-founding-design-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/radical-health-founding-design-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-21T07:52:24Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":11202,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-22T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":2074917},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=2074917"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fradical-health-founding-design-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fradical-health-founding-design-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fradical-health-founding-design-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/radical-health-founding-design-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fradical-health-founding-design-engineer"}]}
