About MediScan

MediScan provides marketing and operations software for med-legal physicians. We are building the business in a box for the physicians hired to give expert opinions on workers' compensation, personal injury, and disability claims.

Medical-legal evaluation is a multibillion-dollar part of the insurance and healthcare economy, and it runs on med-legal physicians. About half rely on physician management companies to find cases, handle intake, retrieve and summarize records, and bill and collect, often for a large share of every evaluation fee. The other half run their practices on their own, with very little software built for them. Neither group has a modern, AI-native way to run the business side of their practice.

MediScan started with record review, one of the most time-consuming steps, and now serves hundreds of med-legal physicians across the country. We are a seven-figure business with strong growth, and we are scaling toward a Series A. Our goal is to use AI to handle every step of that workflow, from finding cases to getting paid, so a physician can run a full practice from one platform.

Our customers tell us what they need, and our software gives them hours of their week back. We are a small, focused team looking for people who want to build the standard for how med-legal physicians run their practices.

The role

As our Product Design Engineer, you will own the design of the MediScan platform: learning how physicians work, turning that into clear product designs, and partnering with our engineering team to ship them. You will work directly with physicians, management-company operators, and attorneys, and collaborate closely with the CEO and engineers on what we build next.

This is a design-led role, roughly 60% product design and 40% engineering. You will hand off larger features to the engineering team, and write production code yourself for front-end work, polish, and bug fixes. We are looking for someone with a strong sense of what makes software clear, calm, and trustworthy, and the engineering skill to ship it. Over your first year, you will take ownership of product design and our design system, and become a trusted voice for MediScan with our physician customers.

What you will do

• Customer discovery with med-legal physicians, management-company operators, and other customers, and translate what you learn into problem statements, user flows, and specs.
• Own product design end to end: user flows, wireframes, high-fidelity prototypes, and the MediScan design system.
• Work alongside the engineering team to turn designs into shipped features. Write production TypeScript and React for front-end work, using AI coding tools to move quickly while maintaining a high bar for quality.
• Fix bugs and raise the quality of shipped features by closing UX gaps, edge cases, accessibility issues, and visual inconsistencies.
• Prototype new products with real data and validate them with physicians before we commit to heavy engineering investment.
• Run usability sessions and onboarding calls, and share findings with our customer success and sales teams.
• Define and document UI and UX standards for a data-dense, document-heavy product.

What success looks like

• 30 days: you have joined at least five customer calls, shipped a polish pass on an existing screen, and can describe our users' workflow.
• 90 days: you are leading discovery calls and have designed one feature end to end and shipped its front end alongside the engineering team.
• 6 to 12 months: you own product design and the design system, and contribute directly to roadmap planning.

What we are looking for

• 2 to 6 years of professional experience in product design, front-end or full-stack engineering, or a design-engineer role. Experience as both a designer and an engineer, ideally in a full-time role, is the strongest signal.
• A portfolio or live work showing products you designed and built, with your reasoning, not only the final screens.
• Strong UI and UX fundamentals: information architecture, interaction design, usability testing, accessibility (WCAG), and an opinion about what good looks like. A degree or training in design, HCI, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
• Proficiency in TypeScript and React.
• Daily use of AI tools for design and code (for example Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, etc), with the judgment to review and correct what they produce.
• Experience interviewing users and turning findings into product decisions.
• A clear communicator who is comfortable talking with physicians and attorneys, not only engineers.
• An ownership mindset: you notice what is unfinished and fix it.

Nice to have

• Experience designing dense, document-centric interfaces (PDF viewers, timelines, annotation, search).
• Experience designing human-in-the-loop AI products: citations, confidence, review and approval flows.
• Background in healthcare, legal, insurance, or other regulated software; awareness of HIPAA.
• Experience in B2B SaaS or an early-stage startup.
• Motion, prototyping, or front-end animation skills.
• Familiarity with analytics tools and using product data to guide design.
