Our Mission

Healthcare should work for patients, but it doesn’t. In their time of need, they call down outdated insurance directories. Then wait on hold. Then wait weeks for the privilege of a visit. Then wait in a room solely designed for waiting. Then wait for a surprise bill. In any other consumer industry, the companies delivering such a poor customer experience would not survive. But in healthcare, patients lack market power. Which means they are expected to accept the unacceptable.

Your Impact on our Mission We’re looking for a Lead Product Designer to help shape the future of our healthcare products through the evolution and scaling of our design system. Our Design System powers consistent, scalable, and beautiful experiences across our products. You’ll play a critical role in shaping how our design language is expressed and maintained, collaborating closely with designers, engineers, and product teams to ensure our system remains robust, cohesive, and easy to use.
