About the role
Headquarters: United States
About Assemble
Assemble is the AI platform for healthcare’s leadership; helping automate administrative work, streamline workflows, and improve team collaboration to enhance patient care.
We work closely with nursing and operations leaders to modernize how healthcare teams coordinate work, make decisions, and support each other.
The role
We’re hiring our first full-time Product Designer to own the end-to-end experience of the Assemble web app and future companion mobile app.
You’ll be the design backbone of the team: setting the bar for product quality, building our design system from the ground up, and partnering closely with product and engineering to ship fast in a high-ambiguity environment.
This role is ideal for someone who is excited to go deep on productivity workflows, loves turning messy problems into simple, elegant interfaces, and is motivated by improving the day-to-day of leaders working in healthcare.
What you’ll do
Own the product experience across our full web surface and future mobile app – from discovery to shipped product.
Design end-to-end flows for complex productivity workflows (task management, collaboration, automation, analytics, etc.).
Create and evolve Assemble’s design system to enable us to ship with high velocity and quality.
Prototype with modern AI tools like Cursor & Bolt to explore interactions, flows, and lightweight coded prototypes.
Partner tightly with product & engineering to define problems, shape specs, and iterate quickly based on real usage.
Run lean discovery – user interviews, lightweight usability tests, and rapid experiments to validate ideas.
Champion craft & UX quality while still shipping quickly in a startup environment.
Lay the foundations for a future design team, including processes, rituals, and documentation that others can build on.
What we’re looking for
Deeply mission-driven and excited by the idea of making healthcare work better for the people who run it.
Experienced product designer (typically 5–8+ years) with a strong portfolio of impactful work in productivity software.
Demonstrated ability to simplify complex, multi-step workflows into intuitive, delightful experiences.
Experience building or contributing to a design system (Figma libraries, tokens, component standards, usage guidelines).
Comfortable working from problem definition to polished UI – strategy, IA, interaction design, visual design, and prototyping.
Hands-on experience using modern AI tooling (e.g. Cursor, Bolt, or similar) to speed up exploration, prototyping, or implementation.
Comfortable working quickly in high ambiguity: you’re comfortable with vague problem spaces, shifting priorities, and 0→1 product work. Speed enables quality through tighter iteration cycles.
Strong product sense: you think in terms of impact, trade-offs, and user outcomes, not just visual polish.
Excellent communicator who can tell the story of your design decisions to both technical and non-technical teammates.
Bonus points
Experience designing for healthcare, frontline workforces, or operational tools.
Familiarity with mobile design patterns (iOS/Android) and designing with Shadcn components.
Experience as an early design hire or working in a seed/Series A startup.
How we work
Fast, iterative shipping – we bias toward small, frequent releases and learning from real usage.
Low-ego collaboration – good ideas can come from anywhere; we debate, then commit.
Ownership – as the first designer, you’ll help define how design shows up at Assemble.
Hybrid async/sync communication – thoughtful documentation, plus regular real-time design jams.
