Descrizione del lavoro

Aware Health is a rapidly scaling health AI startup revolutionizing musculoskeletal (MSK) care. Everyday, 50% or more of the workforce show up to work with pain, joint stiffness, muscle strain, or other physical impairments due to MSK pain and orthopedic conditions. Too often, these conditions are misdiagnosed and treated passively with opioids, injections or costly surgeries. These expensive and risky treatment methods can often be avoided altogether with more modern approaches to preventing, diagnosing and treating MSK pain.

At Aware Health, our mission is to empower individuals to reach their goals through compassionate care, accurate diagnostics and precision treatment. We are a team of learners and collaborators driven by results and integrity. Our AI-powered platform ensures patients get the right care—avoiding inappropriate and frequently unnecessary tests, drugs, and surgeries.

We are growing rapidly and looking for ambitious candidates who are excited to embrace the challenges of a startup environment while improving the health of millions of people.

About the Job

We are looking for a highly motivated Senior UX Design Engineer who combines strong frontend engineering skills with an exceptional eye for visual design and user experience. You will work within our product engineering team to design and build polished, intuitive interfaces across our AI-powered web and mobile applications. Our ideal candidate is equally comfortable creating wireframes and visual designs in Figma and bringing those same experiences to life in production code.

This is an important role that bridges the gap between product requirements and user experience engineering. You will have the opportunity to take ownership of the user experience from initial concept through production implementation. Flexibility, proactivity, and a healthy sense of urgency are essential. Experience working in fast-paced startup environments is a big plus.

Our culture is ambitious yet humble, and we care greatly about the impact we make. This is not a remote role—we are hiring only in the San Francisco Bay Area (or relocation) as we value in-person collaboration, requiring three days per week from our downtown San Francisco office. While we prioritize well-being, we are not a 9-to-5 culture, and at times critical deadlines may require extra effort. We balance high-impact work with time to recharge.

We are looking for smart, driven people. While the role is listed as a senior role, we will consider strong mid-level candidates that are an excellent fit. Please consider applying if you believe you are a good match, even if you don't check off all our requirements below.

Portfolio Required: Please include links to your previous work, such as product/UX design portfolios, Figma projects, or GitHub repositories. Applicants who do not provide examples of their work may not be considered.

Direct applicants only — we are unable to respond to recruiters or agencies.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, build, and maintain polished, intuitive user interfaces across our web and mobile applications
• Translate product requirements into thoughtful user experiences, from initial wireframes and visual designs in Figma through production-ready frontend implementations
• Build responsive, accessible, and visually compelling interfaces with a strong emphasis on usability, consistency, and attention to detail
• Develop and maintain reusable UI components, design systems, and frontend architecture that enable rapid development and consistent user experiences
• Design intuitive interactions, user flows, and microinteractions that simplify complex workflows and make our products delightful to use
• Collaborate closely with product, clinical, and engineering teams to understand user needs, iterate on designs, and deliver high-quality product experiences
• Continuously improve existing user experiences by identifying usability issues, refining visual designs, and optimizing frontend performance
• Leverage AI-powered development tools to accelerate design, prototyping, and frontend engineering
• Keep up with the newest developments in frontend engineering, UX/UI design, AI user interfaces, and AI-powered development tools

Required Qualifications

• Energized to work in ambiguous, fast-paced startup cultures, operates with a sense of urgency, and isn’t discouraged by being in an environment where we don’t have it all figured out yet
• Genuine excitement about AI and its possibilities — with an open and curious mindset that drives experimentation, creativity, and trying new things
• Strong visual design skills, with an exceptional eye for typography, layout, spacing, color, and overall UI polish
• Hands‑on experience with Figma, including creating wireframes, high‑fidelity visual designs, interactive prototypes, and reusable design components
• Solid understanding of UX principles, interaction design, responsive design, and accessibility best practices
• Experience building and maintaining reusable frontend components and design systems
• Ability to independently translate loosely defined product requirements into well-designed, production‑ready user interfaces
• A desire to continually grow in frontend engineering, UX/UI design, and AI‑powered product development

Bonus Qualifications

• Preference for candidates with a background in digital health
• Experience designing and building conversational AI interfaces, agentic experiences, or other AI‑powered products
• Experience building mobile applications using React Native and Expo
• Experience with Next.js, Tailwind CSS, shadcn/ui, or similar modern frontend frameworks and component libraries
• Experience with frontend animations, transitions, and microinteractions
• Comfortable working across the full stack, including integrating frontend applications with backend APIs
• Experience with AI‑assisted design and development tools such as Cursor, Claude Code, or Figma AI
• Degree in CS, design, human‑computer interaction, or a related field
• 4+ years of experience working as a frontend software engineer, UX engineer, design engineer, or similar role, with demonstrated experience in UX/UI design (we value your talent and abilities more than your experience, and we encourage candidates to apply if you feel you are a fit)
• Early equity stake in a fast‑growing startup (pre Series A)
• Medical (PPO, HMO, HDHP), dental and vision (100% employee premiums covered)
• FSA administration
• Life Insurance
• Short/long term disability
• Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
• 401K
• On‑site gym
