Job description

Dognosis digitizes canine cognition to detect 30+ human cancers from a single breath sample, with accuracy exceeding standard-of-care diagnostics and at a cost low enough to scale across entire populations.

We're backed by top-tier VCs across India, the US, Israel, and Europe (including Accel India) and have published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology (#1 journal in oncology). We collaborate with UCL, Narayana Health, and Medical Detection Dogs, and have been covered by Scientific American, New Scientist, and Deccan Herald.

Job Description

What You Will Do

• Scale and manage the design function.
  
• Build and own the brand's design language including strategic aspects of visual identity and brand language.
  
• Decide how our science and tech is translated across diverse audiences.
  
• Build the design system, templates, and asset library a future team will run on.
  

What Success Looks Like (6 Months)

• One recognisable visual language across everything we put out.
  
• Design ships consistently and in-sync with the content calendar across socials.
  

You Are a Good Fit If

• You have a portfolio with real craft across brand and digital.
  
• You can take scientific subject matter and design your way to clarity, without dumbing it down.
  
• You would rather own a whole stack than specialise in one slice.
  
• You move comfortably between slow, considered brand work and fast, iterative execution.
  
• You are tuned into culture and design for how a message actually feels, not just how it looks.
  

Valuable but Not Required

• You have designed for a consumer health, wellness, or science brand.
  
• You know motion design or animation.
  
• You have shipped a direct-to-consumer launch or run performance creative before.
  

What You'll Get

• Ownership of the story for a test already published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology and covered in Scientific American and New Scientist. You will be telling a story the press already wants.
  
• ESOPs in a pre-revenue company backed by Accel, collaborating with UCL, Narayana Health, and Medical Detection Dogs.
  
• Competitive salary, health insurance, and flexible time off.
  
• A small, interdisciplinary team spanning engineers, scientists, clinicians, and dogs. The office is never boring.
