• Understanding of accessibility standards (WCAG 2.1).
• Familiarity with design tokens and handoff tools (Figma Dev Mode).
• Healthcare or enterprise application design experience.
• Experience conducting user research or usability testing.
• Knowledge of interaction design and micro-interactions.
• Familiarity with Figma Make or other design-to-code tools.

Technical Stack:

• Design Tools: Figma (Auto Layout, Components, Variants, Prototyping, Design Systems), Figma Plugins.
• Design Deliverables: High-fidelity mockups, Interactive prototypes, Design specifications, Component documentation.
• Collaboration: Figma commenting, version history, developer handoff.

Our Hiring Process:

We believe in a transparent and thoughtful selection process that respects your time while ensuring a mutual fit. Our goal is to see how you approach and solve real-world design problems, not just what your portfolio contains.

1. Initial Screening Call: We’ll discuss your background, experience, and career goals, while providing an overview of the role and our team culture. This is also your chance to ask us anything!
2. Design Challenge (Figma-Focused): You’ll receive a Medlaunch design problem to solve within a specified timeframe. We encourage you to use our design system, with a strong emphasis on Figma for prototyping and design execution. This challenge is designed to see your end-to-end process: from problem definition and initial wireframes to final high-fidelity mockups and a clickable prototype.
3. Design Review & Process Interview: We’ll have an in-depth discussion about your challenge solution and your overall design philosophy. You should be prepared to walk through every step of your process:
   • User Problem: How did you define and validate the core user problem?
   • Design Rationale: Explain your key design decisions, trade-offs, and how they align with user needs and business goals.
   • Figma File: You must be ready to navigate your Figma file live, explaining your file structure, component library organization, naming conventions, and how the design is set up for eventual developer handoff.
   • Iteration & Feedback: Discuss potential improvements and how you would incorporate feedback on the design.

We’re looking for designers who can think critically, champion the user experience, and structure their work for effective collaboration and execution—not just those who can make things look pretty.

Ready to apply? We look forward to hearing from you!
