Job description

We are a microbiome science company pioneering innovations in probiotics and living medicines to impact human and planetary health. Founded to realize the potential of microbes, our platform enables the translation of breakthrough science across a portfolio that encompasses both indication-specific and preventive applications across gastrointestinal and digestive health, women’s health, skin and dermatological health, oral care, pediatrics, gut-brain function, metabolic function, and nutrition.

Our consumer innovations are commercialized under Seed with a mission to bring much-needed precision, efficacy, education and perspective-shifting science communication to the global category of probiotics. And our environmental research is conducted underSeedLabs , which was founded to develop novel bacterial interventions to enhance biodiversity and restore ecosystems impacted by human activity.LUCA Biologics , our women’s health biotech company co-founded with Dr. Jacques Ravel, develops living medicines targeting the vaginal microbiome for urogenital and reproductive health.

Founded in Venice, CA with a global team across Europe, Australia, Asia and North America, Seed Health was co-founded by Ara Katz and Raja Dhir, alongside a scientific board comprised of leading scientists, researchers, and clinicians across the fields of microbiology, immunology, bioinformatics, dermatology, oral health, vaginal health, gastroenterology, mental health, pediatrics, and nutrition.

For us, “design” goes far beyond visual guidelines. It permeates through everything that we do and is a primary mechanism for storytelling and scientific translation. We are looking for an exceptional Lead Product Designer to create and execute seamless, intuitive and perspective-shifting digital brand experiences.

You’re a designer driven by curiosity, clarity, and craft. You move fluidly from systems thinking to pixel detail, from hypothesis to prototype, from ambiguity to launch. You are both a strategic thinker and a hands-on maker—someone who thrives in a fast-moving environment and deeply understands how design drives both user and business outcomes.

Your approach is insight-led and data-informed. You’re energized by complex problems and motivated by meaningful change—deepening engagement, driving conversion, increasing LTV, and crafting branded moments of delight across the full customer lifecycle.

You move fluidly between Figma and AI tools—exploring motion, interaction, and code-aware prototypes with a high level of craft and technical fluency. You collaborate deeply across Product, Engineering, MX, and Brand—and bring a principled, inventive approach that elevates not just the expe, but the team around you.

Responsibilities

• Lead the design of end-to-end lifecycle experiences—from pre-purchase discovery to post-purchase subscription management and loyalty engagement—using first principles and behavioral insights to reduce friction, drive conversion, and increase long-term value.
• Prototype rapidly using tools like Figma, Bolt, Jitter, and Cursor; explore interaction and motion to elevate clarity, craft, and engagement.
• Partner cross-functionally with Growth, Engineering, Brand, and Customer Care to design cohesive and scalable experiences across the lifecycle.
• Contribute to and evolve our design system—ensuring accessibility, usability, consistency, and brand maturity across every touchpoint.
• Champion a test-and-learn culture—leveraging A/B testing, user feedback, and product analytics to iterate and optimize.
• Help define a high-craft, collaborative design culture through mentorship, open critique, and principled design thinking.

Requirements

• 6+ years of experience in UX/Product Design, including at least 2 years in a lead or principal role.
• A portfolio showcasing high-impact digital work—especially across e-commerce, subscription, and lifecycle flows.
• Mastery of interaction and visual design, with fluency in Figma, motion tools, and code-aware prototyping platforms.
• Strong grasp of product performance metrics (CVR, LTV, retention, etc.) and the role of design in optimizing them.
• Deep understanding of modern design systems and their evolution.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills—able to align stakeholders, influence strategy, and inspire action.
• A passion for science, wellness, and building experiences that inform, empower, and retain users long-term.

Compensation:The annual pay range for this full-time position is $145-165k + equity + benefits across all US locations (this position is 100% remote-US). Our pay ranges are guided by discipline, level and experience required.
