Senior UI/UX Designer

** This role has been filled, but please feel free to drop us your resume and a quick note if you'd like to stay in touch for the future!

Your Mission as QE's Founding Designer:

• Tackle challenging and meaningful design problems inherent to a new category of telehealth: at-home eyecare.
• Iterate upon on our existing web-app to make its design more interactive and clinically accurate.
• Design phone apps that leverage 1) gesture-based interactions in 3D space, and 2) multimedia formats such as video and audio.
• Conduct user interviews with our core group(s) of patients.
• Please note: This is a foundational role — we are looking for our first full-time design hire, but we are not looking for an additional co-founder.
• Optional: Develop patentable eye exam features alongside our research and engineering teams.
• Optional: Guide our rebrand as we expand our product line to reach new user personas.

tl;dr: We're looking for a visionary designer to help us create an eye exam that anyone — regardless of age, education level, or mobility constraints — can use.

We're looking for someone who:

• Has 3+ years experience designing software products (healthcare products preferred but not required.)
• Can design 2D interfaces in addition to 3D gestures and workflows.
• Has deep empathy and interest in understanding users, particularly those who may have technology and mobility limitations.
• Has a masterful touch in crafting unique but elegant interactions.
• Favors simplicity and ease of use over flair, although some flair is definitely appreciated.
• Ability to leverage both qualitative and quantitative data to guide design decisions.
• Is occasionally able to conduct onsite user interviews (our users personas are fairly common, so as long as you don't live on a remote island inhabited only by sheep, this should be doable.)
