You must be able to successfully perform the following minimum Physical, Cognitive and Environmental job requirements with or without accommodation for this position. You have a portfolio that demonstrates both design thinking and technical execution: how you moved from a user need to a design concept to a coded experience; how you incorporated feedback; and how your work influenced the resulting product. We are especially interested in examples where AI-assisted tools helped you explore, prototype, or validate an experience more quickly, while maintaining high design and engineering judgment. You have an interest in healthcare and personal health. Experience creating software in a regulated healthcare environment is a plus.
