Staff Product Designer

Boston or Remote (US)

As the amount of biomedical data types and scale continues to grow, old ways of working with data hold back the pace of progress — fragmented data, overwhelming omics, complex manual work, analysis backlogs, friction in secure collaboration, and barriers to distributing workflows. We have a conviction about how to move closer to a future of precision medicine by making it ten times faster and one-tenth the cost to generate knowledge, develop better treatments, and improve patient outcomes.

As a result, Manifold began its journey. We’re a health research infrastructure company that enables researchers to focus on the high-impact research that matters most, by taking care of all the other stuff that gets in the way. As a trusted research platform for modern scientific collaboration, we partner with top-tier healthcare providers, life sciences organizations, and research institutions to unlock real-world data and deliver actionable insights that improve precision medicine and discovery.

We’re currently a Series A funded startup with 50+ employees across North America. Backed by top-tier investors and healthcare leaders including; Andrew Marks of TQ Ventures, Jason Schoettler of Calibrate Ventures, Gaurav Singal of Foundation Medicine, Steve Fredette of Toast, Amar Kendale of Livongo, Andrew Bialecki of Klaviyo, Brad Porter of Amazon, Jon Karlen of Acadian Software, and Pravin Soni of Elevation Pharma.

Our Culture

At Manifold, we value intellectual rigor, humility, and mission-driven collaboration. We believe that technology is only as powerful as the people behind it, and we’re building a culture that supports growth, inclusion, and curiosity. We work fast, think deeply, and strive to make a lasting impact on patients and researchers lives.

About the Role

Product Designers at Manifold use innovative design to provide engaging user experiences and interfaces for cutting-edge AI and computational science products. By developing new products and features for Manifold’s AI powered research platform, your work will allow users to accelerate and improve precision health.

What You’ll Do

  • Collaborate with product managers, engineers, architects, and others to define problems and goals, map user flows, design and prototype in Figma, and create new products and features. 
  • Serve as a key contributor in our product discovery process, clearly presenting and explaining ideas and designs to colleagues and development partners and persuasively guiding others toward the best solutions.
  • Contribute to the development and upkeep of our design system, working alongside others to ensure consistency and quality as the product evolves
  • Sometimes “get your hands dirty” in the code to help with polish.
  • Have a high degree of autonomy as you work with a nimble, growing team—but we know that good design doesn’t happen in a vacuum. Our design team works hard to maintain a safe and collaborative atmosphere where we help each other do our best work every day.
  • During weekly feedback meetings, you will meet with the design team to seek and offer input. 

What You’ll Bring

  • Expertise in one or more design tools (e.g., Figma, Sketch, Adobe Creative Suite, etc.) and have some experience in a front-end development language or framework such as JavaScript, HTML/CSS, React, etc.
  • An understanding of evolving UI/UX best practices, and with modern application trends 
  • A "user obsessed mentality”—you do everything with the end user in mind, while balancing the context of company priorities and constraints
  • Comfort in facilitating discovery interviews, asking insightful questions, and synthesizing the information into project goals
  • Working as the sole designer on a new product or feature
  • Accurate estimates for how long a given iteration or design stage will likely take, and are comfortable working with project managers to build timelines accordingly
  • Best practices for production considerations and methods: you are thoughtful about how your designs will ultimately get built as software

Location

  • Remote or Boston, MA

What We Offer

  • Fully supported remote work (North American time zones)
  • Comprehensive healthcare, dental, and vision plans
  • Life insurance and disability coverage
  • 401(k) with company match
  • 12 weeks of paid parental leave
  • Commuter benefits (for those who elect to work from our Newton, MA office)

About the Team

  • We are a team of proven startup operators with a track record of building successful technology companies
  • Deep subject matter experts in oncology, clinical practice, precision medicine, enterprise SaaS, and healthcare technology
  • We're a startup—some things are unstructured, and that’s part of the opportunity
  • We're looking for mission-driven builders to help us create the next best AI powered platform in life sciences

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
