About Bask Health

Bask Health is a software platform that enables entrepreneurs, doctors, and healthcare businesses to launch, manage, and grow direct-to-consumer telehealth businesses.

Our platform brings together patient experiences, clinical workflows, pharmacy operations, and commerce tools in one place.

We're an entrepreneurial, product-focused engineering team that values ownership, technical excellence, and building software that solves real problems. Engineers work closely with product teams and company leadership, take features from idea to production, and have a direct role in shaping the platform.

Engineering at Bask is AI-first and builder-led. We use tools like Cursor and Claude Code throughout development while maintaining high standards for reliability, testing, and software quality.

About the Role

We're looking for a Junior UX Researcher to help Bask Health better understand how people interact with our software and support research that improves usability across the platform.

Bask Health enables entrepreneurs, doctors, and healthcare businesses to launch, manage, and grow direct-to-consumer telehealth businesses. Our platform connects merchant tools, patient experiences, clinical workflows, pharmacy operations, and commerce capabilities.

As a Junior UX Researcher, you'll help investigate how users navigate digital experiences, complete tasks, interpret information, and respond to different product designs.

This is an early-career research role focused on developing practical skills in usability testing, user interviews, research planning, observation, and qualitative analysis.

You'll work alongside experienced researchers, product designers, product managers, and engineers to understand user problems and identify opportunities to improve the product experience.

Your work may involve merchant onboarding, administrative dashboards, patient questionnaires, account settings, checkout experiences, and other workflows across the platform.

You'll help prepare research plans, develop interview questions, organize usability testing sessions, and document research findings.

You'll also have opportunities to participate in moderated usability studies, observe how users interact with prototypes, and identify areas where people encounter confusion or difficulty.

A key part of this role will be learning how to ask useful research questions, avoid leading participants, and distinguish observations from assumptions.

You'll support the analysis of qualitative research findings by organizing notes, identifying recurring patterns, and helping develop clear summaries.

You'll work with product designers to understand how research findings influence interface decisions.

You'll collaborate with product managers to learn how research priorities connect to product goals and development timelines.

You'll also work with engineers to understand how technical constraints and implementation decisions affect the user experience.

You'll become familiar with research tools, participant recruitment processes, research documentation, and the methods used to evaluate digital products.

Because Bask operates in healthcare-related environments, you'll learn to conduct research with appropriate attention to participant consent, privacy, sensitive information, and the boundaries of clinical workflows.

You'll receive guidance on research methodology and have opportunities to take increasing ownership of clearly defined research tasks as your skills develop.

We're looking for someone who is curious about human behavior, enjoys understanding how people use technology, and is motivated to develop into a strong UX researcher.
