Job description

Become a part of our caring community We are seeking a Senior User Interface Design Engineer to craft intuitive, high-trust digital experiences across our clinical tools and care-facing platforms. You’ll balance strategic thinking with hands‑on execution within your product area — from discovery to pixel‑perfect delivery — while bringing an AI‑fluent mindset as design tooling evolves.

You’ll join a lean, high‑impact design team of two supporting design across all of CenterWell IT, reporting to the Director, Technology Solutions while aligning on design system and overall standards with the Lead UI Designer. You’ll work closely with product, engineering, and clinical stakeholders to solve complex healthcare workflows that reduce cognitive load for care teams and provide clarity for patient care.

Key Responsibilities

• Own end-to-end design for assigned product verticals — from discovery through pixel‑perfect delivery — including workflow design, information architecture, and interface design for data‑dense, human‑in‑the‑loop clinical workflows.
• Support and contribute to design systems, patterns, and scalable design standards.
• Present design recommendations and rationale to stakeholders, incorporating feedback and building alignment across teams.
• Build interactive, high‑fidelity prototypes to demonstrate complex interactions and validate user flows. Contribute to evolving how AI‑assisted tools are incorporated into the design process as internal tooling access expands.
• Plan and execute qualitative user research, usability testing, and feedback sessions with users and stakeholders to validate design decisions and iterate rapidly.
• Accessibility & Health Literacy: Champion WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility standards and plain‑language design principles, ensuring interfaces are inclusive across varying levels of digital and health literacy.
• Healthcare & Compliance Focus: Design with deep sensitivity to privacy, patient trust, and regulatory requirements.

Required Qualifications

Use your skills to make an impact

• 5+ years of hands‑on product design experience (UI/UX) delivering digital products, web applications, or complex enterprise platforms from concept to launch, with a strong portfolio of complex interfaces demonstrating visual hierarchy and clean execution for data‑dense applications.
• Bachelor’s degree in Human‑Computer Interaction, Design, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
• Expert‑level Figma skills (auto‑layout, tokens, component variables, interactive prototyping).
• Ability to balance strategic thinking with hands‑on execution — bringing informed perspective and problem‑solving to your product area while operating within established design system and standards.
• Proven ability to manage competing priorities, navigate ambiguous requirements, and maintain high design quality and output in a fast‑paced, iterative environment.
• Outstanding communication skills: able to articulate design decisions, present to cross‑functional stakeholders, and discuss technical constraints and tradeoffs directly with engineers.
• Demonstrated success using design to improve business and customer outcomes, such as patient satisfaction, engagement, retention, or operational efficiency.
• AI Fluency: Understanding of how AI‑driven features behave in‑product (latency handling, confidence scoring, human‑in‑the‑loop workflows) and genuine interest in AI‑assisted design tools.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience designing within clinical, healthcare, or health‑tech environments, or in other regulated/high‑stakes domains.
• Experience designing interfaces for complex data pipelines, dynamic real‑time data, or decision‑support tools.
