About the role
The problem
Hospitals still run their most important operations — staffing, labor planning, and capacity — on paper, spreadsheets, and guesswork. It’s a system that wastes thousands of hours and millions of dollars every year.
Vitalize replaces this with intelligent, automated staffing operations. Our platform brings real-time decision support to clinical leaders, eliminating manual work, reducing unnecessary labor spend, and unlocking patient capacity for hospitals.
We’re building the core operating system for hospital workforce operations — competing directly with legacy HR/ERP platforms. And we’re winning. We’re already live across 20+ hospitals, near 8-figures in revenue, and have raised funding from top investors. We’ve 3x’ed revenue in the last 3 months, and are scaling fast.
The role
You'll be the second product designer at Vitalize, joining our founding designer to scale how we design, build, and ship product.
- You'll own complex product surfaces. The core of this role is designing data-dense interfaces that hospital staff rely on every day, like shift schedules, staffing dashboards, configuration tools, recommendation systems. You'll simplify these workflows and flatten the learning curves.
- You'll build the design system alongside the founding designer. We're at the beginning of this journey. We have a component library in Figma, a Tailwind codebase, and a growing gap between them. You'll help close that gap: building reusable components, establishing color and spacing standards, creating patterns that let engineers build correctly without waiting for design.
- You'll work directly with customers. Design at Vitalize starts with real workflows, not requirements docs. You'll visit hospitals, observe how nurses and staffing offices actually work, and use that context to shape what we build.
