UX Designer - Contract Job at Nuna Inc. in San Francisco

At Nuna, our mission is to make high-quality healthcare affordable for everyone. We are dedicated to tackling one of our nation’s biggest problems with ingenuity, creativity, and a keen moral compass.

Nuna is committed to simple principles: a rigorous understanding of data, modern technology, and most importantly, compassion and care for our fellow human. We want to know what really works, what doesn't—and why.

Nuna has established its brand in the B2B space over the last decade by shifting the US healthcare system towards an incentive model that rewards healthcare providers for positive outcomes. Marshalling our collective backgrounds and insights, we are now crafting an innovative, consumer app - a clinically driven healthcare companion experience that leverages AI, gamification and social support techniques to improve outcomes for people with chronic conditions.

As a sign of the impact Nuna has already made in this space, Nuna was recently selected to join the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Health Tech Ecosystem, a landmark public-private initiative designed to transform healthcare for Americans.

YOUR TEAM

Nuna Designers embrace their superpower to visualize the ideal user experience, rapidly testing and iterating on solutions while aligning the teams on a common vision. We embrace a holistic approach to design: curiosity, respect, passion, narrative, craft, and systems-thinking fuel our success.
