Job description

Humana is hiring a Senior User Interface Design Engineer to create intuitive, high-trust digital experiences for both clinical tools and care-facing platforms. This role leads end-to-end UI design across assigned product verticals, with an emphasis on accessibility, plain-language clarity, and reducing cognitive load for care teams.

Responsibilities

• Own end-to-end UI design for assigned product verticals, covering 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, reusable patterns, and scalable design standards.
• Share design recommendations and underlying rationale with stakeholders, incorporate feedback, and build alignment across teams.
• Produce interactive, high-fidelity prototypes to model complex interactions and validate user flows.
• Contribute to how AI-assisted tools are integrated into the design process as internal tooling access expands.
• Plan and run qualitative user research, usability testing, and feedback sessions with users and stakeholders to validate decisions and iterate quickly.
• Champion WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility and plain-language design so interfaces remain inclusive across different levels of digital and health literacy.
• Apply a healthcare and compliance lens with sensitivity to privacy, patient trust, and regulatory requirements.

Requirements

• 5+ years of hands-on product design experience (UI/UX) delivering digital products, web applications, or complex enterprise platforms from concept through launch, supported by a strong portfolio featuring complex interfaces with clear 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 including auto-layout, tokens, component variables, and interactive prototyping.
• Ability to combine strategic thinking with hands-on execution, bringing an informed perspective while working within established design system and standards.
• Proven capability to manage competing priorities, operate effectively with ambiguous requirements, and maintain high design quality in a fast-paced, iterative environment.
• Strong communication skills to explain design decisions, present to cross-functional stakeholders, and directly discuss technical constraints and tradeoffs with engineers.
• Documented success using design to improve business and customer outcomes, such as patient satisfaction, engagement, retention, or operational efficiency.
• AI fluency: understanding how AI-driven in-product features behave (including latency handling, confidence scoring, and human-in-the-loop workflows) and genuine interest in AI-assisted design tools.

Technologies

• WCAG 2.1 AA
