Job Description

Philadelphia, PA (Hybrid)

Reports to: Director of Design

Proscia is revolutionizing pathology, the last major frontier in healthcare to embrace digital. As a leader in pathology AI software, we are empowering pathologists and scientists to transition from traditional microscope-based workflows to digital, AI-driven approaches, unlocking new possibilities in precision medicine.

Backed by over $100 million in funding from leading healthcare and technology investors, Proscia is at the forefront of this revolution. Joining Proscia means being part of a company at the cutting edge of healthcare innovation, where the possibilities are limitless. With the convergence of AI, precision medicine, and digital pathology, we’re not just changing pathology—we’re redefining what’s possible in medicine.

About This Position

We're hiring a Product Designer to own discrete product areas end-to-end, working directly with our Director of Design. This is a product-first role: the large majority of your time will go to product craft, from problem framing through shipped, validated experience. You'll also bring a visual design sensibility beyond typical UI work, a sharper eye for iconography, illustration, and data visualization styling, that shows up inside the product and, occasionally, in a supporting brand or marketing asset.

Experience designing regulated medical device products is a plus. Experience designing AI or ML-driven product experiences is required, see more below.

What You'll Do

• Own discrete product areas end-to-end, from problem framing through shipped, validated experience, including the design of our AI-powered intelligence layers (model outputs, confidence scoring, human-in-the-loop review, explainability).
• Design for human-AI collaboration: how pathologists interpret, trust, override, and act on AI-generated insights, and how we surface uncertainty without eroding clinical confidence.
• Lead research efforts to understand our users, pathologists and scientists, through observation, interviews, and usability testing, partnering with the Director of Design on structure and direction.
• Own empathy maps, user personas, and journey maps that keep the user at the center of what we build.
• Use visual hierarchy, layout, and information architecture skills to design storyboards, process flows, and sitemaps; create UI mockups, wireframes, and high-fidelity designs.
• Generate graphical elements, icon sets, illustration, onboarding graphics, data visualization styling, and contribute to the Proscia design system.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including product managers, engineers, and scientists, to translate user insights and AI/ML capabilities into functional, elegant design solutions.
• Design with awareness of compliance frameworks for regulated medical device software (e.g., IEC 62366, FDA guidance for human factors engineering), and participate in human factors and usability testing as needed.
• Look for ways to infuse AI into the design process, improving user experiences, workflows, speed of execution, and product quality.
• Occasionally support marketing and sales with polished visuals for decks, one-pagers, websites, or event materials, using existing brand guidelines. This is light, occasional support with guidance from design leadership, not an ownership responsibility.

What We're Seeking

This role sits between product and visual craft, and now, increasingly, at the center of how pathologists interact with AI. We're looking for someone with the range to do all three well.

• 3 to 5 years of experience as a Product or UI/UX Designer
• Real experience designing AI or ML-driven product experiences: surfacing model confidence, explaining outputs, supporting human-in-the-loop review, and calibrating user trust in automated systems. This is a requirement, not a nice-to-have.
• Demonstrated proficiency in design software such as Figma
• A portfolio showing strong end-to-end product craft, plus a visual design sensibility beyond standard UI work: typography, layout, and illustration or iconography instincts
• Prior experience or coursework in graphic design, illustration, or visual/brand design
• Experience designing web applications, ideally built for professional use
• Ownership of design system contributions, including maintaining and scaling shared component libraries
• Strong communication skills, with the ability to collaborate across disciplines and explain design decisions clearly, including to non-technical stakeholders
• Basic understanding of front-end technologies (HTML, CSS, JavaScript)

A few additional qualifications would be a plus, though they're not required:

• Experience with regulated medical device software, including familiarity with human factors engineering standards (e.g., IEC 62366) and FDA usability guidance
• Knowledge of scientific, healthcare, or laboratory workflows
• Comfort in Illustrator or Photoshop for occasional supporting assets

Beyond Just Work

As a company in healthcare, we want our people to be happy and healthy, in and out of the office. In addition to competitive pay, we ensure everyone on our team is supported with savings, schedule, and insurance options that promote long-term health and personal growth.

Our office environment is designed for creativity and agility: with walls as notepads and couches for collaboration. We’re located in the heart of Philadelphia, with views of the city so you can spend your time focusing on what matters most.

At Proscia, we don’t just accept differences — we celebrate them, we support them, and we thrive on them for the benefit of our employees, our products, and our community. Proscia is proud to be an equal opportunity workplace.
