Product Designer, UI/UX (Contract)

Denver, Colorado; San Francisco, California

Frontera is reimagining how children with autism and other behavioral health needs get the care they deserve. We bring together world-class clinicians, technologists, and autism specialists to build cutting-edge AI tools that help care teams work smarter and spend more time with the children and families who need them most.

Our platform is HIPAA-compliant and designed for the real-world needs of behavioral health teams - from psychologists to ABA therapists. By combining evidence-based care with powerful technology, we’re expanding access to high-quality services for families everywhere.


Our Mission

Frontera exists to close the care gap: every child, no matter where they live, should be able to access effective behavioral healthcare.

The Role

Frontera builds multimodal AI tools that reduce documentation burden for clinicians serving children with autism, and we operate our own clinics alongside the platform. That means the software we design is used every day by real clinicians and care teams, in workflows where clarity and reliability matter.

As a Product Designer, you’ll own the design of product features across web and mobile, from problem framing through shipped UI. You’ll work inside an established design system, improve it when features expose gaps, and partner closely with Product, Engineering, and Clinical stakeholders to understand how people actually use what we build.

This is a hands-on contract role (6 months with opportunity for conversion). Our design system and agentic design work are led in-house, and you’ll support that work by flagging gaps and patterns you see along the way, without owning it. At Frontera, non-designers also ship UI, so you’ll review and coach them, and step in when a feature needs real design attention.

What You'll Do

  • Design features across web and mobile, from problem framing through shipped UI
  • Produce strong UI and UX work, including flows, interaction design, visual design, and states (empty, loading, error)
  • Work from our design system, and improve it when features expose gaps
  • Review and coach non-designers who ship UI, and escalate or take over when a feature needs real design attention
  • Support the in-house design system and agentic design work by flagging system gaps and repeated review feedback
  • Work with clinical and product stakeholders to understand how people use the product

Why This Matters

Our product is only as good as the experience clinicians have when they use it. Strong design reduces friction in already demanding clinical work, and it’s how we keep quality consistent as more people across the company ship UI. This role helps hold that bar while our design system and AI-assisted design workflows mature.

Qualifications

  • 4+ years of product design experience across web and mobile, with a portfolio of shipped work that shows strong UI and UX craft
  • Experience working inside an established design system
  • Comfort collaborating with engineers, and enough familiarity with code to review work in a repository
  • Interest in and basic experience with AI agents in a design workflow
  • Experience contributing to or maintaining a design system is a strong plus
  • Experience with regulated or data-dense products is a strong plus, and clinical software is a bonus
  • Experience on a team where non-designers also ship UI is a strong plus

Why Frontera?

  • Opportunity to be at the forefront of innovation in pediatric healthcare.
  • Work on challenging and impactful projects that leverage cutting-edge technologies.
  • Collaborate with a talented and passionate team in a fast-paced and dynamic environment.
  • Make a real difference in the lives of children and families in rural communities.
  • Competitive salary and benefits package.
Our Denver Office & Perks
  • Dog-friendly office.
  • Catered lunch from local Denver restaurants five days a week, plus occasional breakfasts and dinners.
  • Robust snack program and great coffee options (including cappuccino machine and cold brew cans).
  • Regular team events and low-key socials.
  • Up to $150/month commuter stipend, discounted nearby parking, and a discounted Colorado Athletic Club membership.
  • Thoughtfully designed space for focus, collaboration, and connection.
  • Competitive health benefits, stock options, 401(k), and generous PTO.
