Why Clipboard Health Exists:

We exist to lift as many people up the socioeconomic ladder as possible. We dramatically improve lives by letting healthcare professionals turn extra time and ambition into career growth and financial opportunity. We achieve this with our app-based marketplace that connects healthcare facilities and healthcare professionals, allowing professionals to book on-demand shifts and facilities to access on-demand talent.

About Clipboard Health:

Clipboard Health is a fast-growing Series C marketplace. We are a leader in our Long Term Care vertical and are expanding into several others (Dental Offices, Schools, etc).
We are a YC Top Company with a global, remote team of 600+ people. We have been profitable since 2022, and fill millions of shifts annually at partner workplaces across the US, where tens of thousands of professionals work with us every year.
We are looking for your help to keep growing so we can serve more professionals and workplaces.

Clipboard Health helps healthcare facilities find the nurses and nursing assistants they need. We’re solving a critical problem in healthcare staffing by building software that’s fast, reliable, and easy to use. Design plays a central role in making that happen.

We’re hiring Product Designers to help us improve the quality of our product, strengthen our brand, and better support our customers. As a Designer here, you’ll work on meaningful problems, collaborate closely with Engineering and Product, and shape the experience of a product that thousands of people rely on every day.

What you’ll do

• Talk to customers regularly to understand their needs and workflows
• Design user interfaces based on product briefs, customer feedback, and business goals
• Collaborate with PMs and engineers to shape features and make smart tradeoffs
• Lead usability testing and interpret usage data to improve designs
• Provide feedback during implementation to make sure designs are executed well
• Contribute to and evolve our design system to support fast, consistent work
• Improve existing features and flows as part of ongoing product quality efforts
• Suggest new product ideas based on your understanding of customer needs
  
  

What we’re looking for

• Strong UI and UX skills, with a portfolio that shows clear thinking and good craft
• An understanding of how to evoke emotion through interaction and visual design
• The ability to work across a large, complex product with consistency
• Good judgment about where to spend time and when to move quickly
• A focus on the customer and a desire to understand the problems they face
• Initiative and persistence to push through ambiguity and get things shipped
• A bias for speed and responsiveness when working with engineers and PMs
  
  

How the team works

Designers are embedded in Product-Engineering pods (4-5 Engineers + 1 PM), each focused on a specific area of the business. Each Designer will work with 1–2 pods, forming long-term partnerships with PMs and Engineers to build deep context and improve execution.

Our Design team is small but growing, and our Designers currently report to the Head of Engineering, with plans to hire a design lead as the team scales.

Hiring process

As you may have read elsewhere, we highly emphasize evaluating candidates based on their work, and especially work that is representative of the actual work they might do at Clipboard Health. For this reason we heavily emphasize case studies (sometimes referred to as take-home assignments). However, given the high volume of submissions we receive, we may not be able to respond thoughtfully to each one.

• Portfolio review
• Design case study and accompanying interview
• Interview with Head of Engineering
• Interview with our CEO
