ABOUT US

Our Company: We are a rare company that is profitable, growing over 100% annually, under 30 people and making a positive social impact. Our mission has attracted some of the smartest and most accomplished people in technology and medicine. You will be working with leaders who have advised Fortune 500 CEOs, built and sold companies to Google, and designed medical school curriculums.

Our Story: We are a physician and engineer from Yale and MIT, respectively. We founded theMednet after our father, also a physician, was diagnosed with cancer and we realized how difficult it was to know what to do when the answers are not found in textbooks, guidelines, or papers, but rather trapped in the heads of experts. We created theMednet to document expert knowledge and give physicians everywhere access to that knowledge.

Our Mission: Help physicians access expert knowledge to improve patient outcomes. theMednet is the first ever platform that delivers large-scale peer-to-peer education to community physicians with actionable insights back to pharma in one single offering. TheMednet was started in 2014 and includes over 40,000+ physicians in over 15 areas of medicine including oncology, rheumatology, neurology, dermatology, pulmonology, cardiology, nephrology and more. TheMednet was featured in Inc. Magazine as one of the companies changing the future of medicine.

Our Culture: Our culture is shaped by our mission and values. Our values are:

1) Doctors First

2) Have a Can-Do Attitude

3) Take Ownership

4) Treat Each Other Right

5) Mission Driven Focused.

Our first value is our most important- any decision we make must start by asking whether we are helping physicians make better decisions for their patients.

Our Partnerships: We partner with organizations similarly committed to research, education, and high-quality care including the National Cancer Institute (NCI), the American Society for Clinical Oncology (ASCO), the American College of Rheumatology (ACR), and the American Neurological Association (ANA). Additionally, we’ve collaborated with Fortune 500 Pharmaceutical companies including, but not limited to, Amgen, AstraZeneca, BMS, Eli Lilly, Johnson & Johnson and Roche.

Job Description

As our first UX hire, you will lead the end-to-end design process, laying the foundation for our design culture and practices. You’ll collaborate closely with product leadership, engineers, medical experts, and founders to deeply understand complex user needs. You will then translate those into simple, elegant, and effective product experiences. You’ll set the standard for design quality, establish our design system, and ensure that usability, accessibility, and trust are embedded in everything we build.

The ideal candidate has proven success in designing consumer experiences and thrives in startup environments.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead UX Design: Own the user experience for our core products, from research and discovery through wireframes, prototypes, high-fidelity designs, and handoff to engineering.

• Build Design Foundations: Develop and maintain our design system, UI libraries, and UX guidelines to ensure consistency and scalability.

• Conduct Research: Plan and run user research, interviews, usability tests, and gather insights from medical professionals to inform product decisions.

• Collaborate Cross-Functionally: Work closely with product, engineering, and subject matter experts to define user problems, explore solutions, and deliver best-in-class interfaces.

• Champion the User: Advocate for the needs of clinicians and other healthcare users, balancing usability with clinical accuracy, safety, and compliance requirements.

• Shape Design Culture: Help recruit, mentor, and grow the future design team as we scale.

Qualifications:

• 5+ years of professional UX/UI design experience, ideally with experience in complex or highly regulated domains (healthcare, medical devices, or B2C product is a plus).

• Strong portfolio showcasing user-centered design processes, problem-solving, and elegant solutions for complex workflows.

• Hands-on experience conducting user research and usability testing.

• Proficiency in industry-standard design and prototyping tools (e.g., Figma, Sketch, Adobe CC).

• Excellent communication and collaboration skills — able to translate complex ideas for diverse audiences.

• Self-starter comfortable with ambiguity and excited to build from zero.

• Passion for improving healthcare and an understanding of the responsibility that comes with designing for medical contexts.
