About Rivia

Rivia specializes in AI-Driven Analytics and Data Infrastructure for Successful Biopharma Clinical Trials. Biopharmas are the origin of most new therapies, yet often face inefficiencies and failures in clinical trials due to fragmented data and outdated tools. Our technology offers a real-time, integrated view of data to improve the evaluation of new treatments and trial conduct. Our vision is to become the unified data infrastructure that transforms clinical development lifecycles, bringing new therapies to market more successfully.

In 2 years, we've successfully launched Rivia to multiple Biotechs and are scaling to reach many more. Our rapid growth and innovative approach have recently been recognized by top investors, resulting in a €3M funding round led by Speedinvest. This investment provides us with the resources to accelerate our development and expand our impact in the biotech industry.

We are seeking a talented and motivated Senior Product Designer to join our team and contribute to our growing startup. For ambitious designers, there is an opportunity for professional growth and leadership as we continue to expand.

The Role

As a Senior Product Designer, you will be the architect of how our users interact with complex clinical data. You’ll take ownership of design initiatives from initial concept to final production, transforming intricate data workflows into intuitive, high-impact experiences.

You will work directly with our customers to deeply understand their challenges and validate your designs in real-time. To succeed in this role, you should have a passion for solving deep functional problems and a strategic, analytical mindset. You should be comfortable navigating the uncertainties of a startup environment, adaptable to shifting priorities, and driven to transform the pharmaceutical industry.

Our Stack

While we focus on outcomes over tools, our current workflow involves: Figma, React, TypeScript, and AI-assisted design/prototyping tools. We value designers who understand the medium they are building for. If you can bridge the gap between design and code, you will thrive here.

What Excites You

Defining the standard: Leading design processes from research and wireframing to high-fidelity visual execution.
Analytical depth: Solving complex problems with pragmatic yet sophisticated solutions—you know how to strive for simplicity without losing powerful analytical capabilities.
AI-Native Workflow: Leveraging the latest advancements in AI to accelerate your design process and building AI-driven features that feel like magic for the end user.
Autonomy: Thriving in a fast-paced environment where you have ownership over your work and make strategic decisions that impact both the product and the company’s design culture.
Bridging the gap: Collaborating closely with engineers to ensure your designs are implemented with high precision and technical feasibility.
Customer Proximity: Getting 'into the weeds' with our customers to deeply understand their world and using those insights to drive product strategy.

Responsibilities

Full-Cycle Design: Lead product design from strategy and definition to execution, validation, and future iterations.
Complex Data Visualization: Design intuitive interfaces for complex, data-heavy B2B SaaS environments.
Design Systems: Develop and maintain a scalable design system that ensures consistency across the Rivia platform.
User Advocacy: Engage directly with users to translate deep clinical insights into delightful and effective product experiences.
Cross-Functional Partnership: Coordinate closely with Sales, Customer Engagement and Engineering to ensure technical developments align with user needs and business objectives.
Continuous Validation: Work closely with customers during the development process to test hypotheses, gather feedback, and ensure we are building the right solutions.

What Excites Us

SaaS Expertise: Proven experience designing professional-grade SaaS software (Required).
Experience: 5+ years of experience in Product Design, UX, or UI roles.
Drivers, not passengers: A track record of taking initiative, owning outcomes, and thriving in a startup environment.
Analytical Mindset: Bonus points for experience designing complex, analytical B2B platforms or data-heavy dashboards.
Technical Literacy: Significant plus if you understand how designs translate into code or can contribute directly to React/TypeScript front-end efforts.
AI Fluency: You are already using AI tools to change how you work and are eager to adapt as the field evolves.
Pragmatism: You don't hold biases too closely and understand when to compromise for the sake of shipping value.

Our Values

At Rivia, we are committed to excellence, continuous learning, and the success of both our customers and our team. If you are driven to exceed targets, eager to shape the future of clinical trials, and passionate about making a meaningful difference in the biotech industry, Rivia is the place for you.

People First: We believe our customers' success is our success, and our team's success drives our customers' success
Take Initiative: Deliver high-quality results quickly and efficiently
Be Open: Foster an inclusive team environment that encourages tough questions and embraces dissent
Learn Relentlessly: Experiment continuously to discover what works and drive innovation
