The Opportunity

As a Product Designer, you'll play a role in shaping the future of Tiny Health's digital experiences. You'll own the end-to-end design of product experiences that help individuals and families better understand and improve their health through microbiome science.

This is a highly collaborative, hands‑on role where you'll partner closely with product managers, engineers, scientists, clinicians, and stakeholders to identify opportunities, solve complex user problems, and bring thoughtful solutions to market quickly. You'll be involved across the entire product development process—from discovery and research to interaction design, visual design, prototyping, and iterating on features after launch.

We're looking for someone who is excited by ambiguity, thrives in a fast‑paced startup environment, and believes that great design is about creating meaningful outcomes for users—not just beautiful interfaces. You'll have the opportunity to influence product strategy, raise the bar for design quality, and help define how millions of people experience personalized health.

What You’ll Do

• Own the end-to-end product design process - from discovery and concept development to prototyping, validation, developer handoff, launch, and iteration.

• Partner closely with product managers, engineers, scientists, clinicians, and stakeholders to define problems, prioritize opportunities, and deliver solutions that balance user needs, business goals, and technical constraints.

• Ensure product experiences accurately reflect the science - by collaborating with clinicians, data scientists, practitioners, and content partners to translate complex information into clear, trustworthy experiences.

• Translate customer insights into product improvements by leveraging user research, analytics, experimentation, and post‑launch feedback.

• Design intuitive, accessible experiences that simplify complex health information and empower users to take meaningful action.

• Move quickly and iterate often, shipping high‑quality work without waiting for perfection while making thoughtful tradeoffs between speed and quality.

• Champion a high bar for product quality through exceptional interaction design, visual craftsmanship, systems thinking, and attention to detail.

• Contribute to and evolve our design system, improving consistency, scalability, and efficiency across the product.

• Influence product strategy by identifying opportunities, challenging assumptions, and advocating for customer needs throughout the product development process.

• Help grow our design practice by participating in critiques, sharing feedback, improving processes, and fostering a culture of learning and collaboration.

• 5+ years designing, shipping and evolving digital products

• A strong portfolio showcasing end-to-end product design—from identifying customer problems through research, interaction design, visual design, launch, and measurable outcomes

• Proven experience designing for responsive web and mobile applications, with exceptional attention to interaction design, usability, and visual craftsmanship

• Proficiency in Figma, including prototyping, design systems, and developer handoff

• Demonstrated ability to work with ambiguity and simplify complex or technical concepts into intuitive, user‑centered experiences

• Highly autonomous and self‑directed, with a proven ability to manage competing priorities, drive initiatives forward, and deliver results with minimal guidance.

• Comfortable working in a remote‑first environment, communicating proactively through async and synchronous channels, maintaining transparency with clear documentation and regular updates, and collaborating effectively while working independently.

Preferred

• Experience working with distributed teams across multiple time‑zones

• Experience in DTC health/wellness companies

• Previous experience in a fast‑paced startup environment

• Work experience in DTC health/wellness companies

• Experience working remotely, with proficiency in Slack

How we work

• A mission that actually pulls people in
  We make the microbiome measurable and actionable at every life stage, and real people write in to say it's life-changing.

• Remote‑first, real overlap
  Our FTEs are based in North America and work core hours from 9am-6pm CST, shiftable by up to two hours either way - start at 7am or 11am, wrap at 4pm or 8pm.

• Written first, huddle second, meet last
  Default to a clear Slack post, huddle when a thread stalls, and meet only to make a real decision.

• Fast, but never sloppy
  Do the two‑month thing in two weeks, then check the work—shipping errors is rework, not speed.

• Shape what we build, not just how we build it
  There's no playbook waiting for you, so write it—and bring the alternative, not just the objection.

• Day One mentality
  Fewer titles and layers; process is a guardrail where it counts, never the reason something didn't ship.

• No hidden agendas
  Numbers, misses, and feedback are shared openly and in real time, so you always know where you stand.

• High standards, genuinely fun people
  Take the work seriously and ourselves much less—high‑performing and fun to be around is the hiring bar.

• Is this pace for you?
  Venture‑scaled and on a steep trajectory, with intensity in spikes, fiercely protected flexibility, and faster growth than anywhere else.

Our Values

1. Learn Fast, Get Better - Find the root cause, not just the fix, and get better every time

2. Be Relentlessly Resourceful - Dig for the answer, move fast, and know when to ask for help

3. Act Like an Owner, Be Hungry to Win - Act like it's your company, and do whatever it takes to win

4. Act with Honesty and Empathy - Say what's true, and say it with care

5. Delight People by Anticipating Their Needs - Solve the problem, then get two steps ahead of it
