About the role

Senior IC product design role focused on complex, workflow-heavy B2B SaaS for healthcare operations. Involves owning cross-pod surfaces, shaping design systems, field research, and driving design culture as the third designer at Vitalize.

Responsibilities

  • You'll own complex product surfaces that cross pod boundaries. Recommendation surfaces, AI-driven workflows, data-dense decision-support tools that span the central staffing office, the unit manager, and the nurse.
  • You'll set the standards the team adopts. Taste documents. Pattern examples. Critique norms. The way design rationale gets written, the way design and engineering resolve disagreement, the way customer evidence shapes product moves.
  • You'll work directly with customers. Visit hospitals, observe workflows, and use that context to shape what we build.
  • You'll shape how the design team grows. Hiring loops, critique culture, onboarding patterns, and design operating principles.
  • You'll set the pace for how Vitalize uses design systems: Components, tokens, patterns, contribution model, documentation, the relationship between Figma and the Tailwind codebase.

Qualifications

  • 8+ years of product design experience, ideally on complex, workflow-heavy B2B SaaS products
  • Owned a design system or comparable infrastructure with a defined contribution model
  • Comfortable spending time in the field and traveling to customer sites
  • Mature product instincts; ability to drive workflow changes, not just UI polish
  • Opinionated, evidence-backed, and direct with strong collaboration skills
  • Customer-obsessed with clear business outcomes and metrics
  • AI-fluent with experience designing AI-enabled UI
  • A multiplier from day one, able to mentor and contribute infra for others
