Our platform is designed to support complex scientific workflows while meeting the highest standards of data integrity, usability, and compliance. We are seeking an experienced Staff UX Designer to lead the strategic design of user experiences that drive meaningful engagement and scientific impact.

As a Staff UX Designer, you will play a pivotal role in shaping the user experience across our platform, ensuring that scientific and technical users can intuitively navigate, analyze, and act on complex data. You will lead cross-functional collaboration with product managers, engineers, scientists, and AI researchers to build experiences that are not only functional and compliant—but also elegant, efficient, and empowering.

• Partner with product and data teams to integrate AI interfaces that enhance scientific decision-making
• Facilitate design reviews, usability testing, and feedback loops with internal and external stakeholders
• Mentor junior designers and evangelize design best practices across the organization
  
  

• 10+ years of experience in UX design, including experience leading projects in SaaS or data-driven platforms
• Proven experience designing interfaces for AI-powered tools or intelligent systems
• Previous work in or with the life sciences, biotech, or healthcare industries—familiarity with scientific workflows is essential
• Strong proficiency with modern UX tools (Figma, Sketch, Adobe XD, etc.) and rapid prototyping
• Demonstrated ability to lead design strategy, user research, and cross-functional collaboration
• Deep understanding of usability, accessibility, and human-centered design principles
• Must be located in or willing to relocate to the Greater Boston area
