User Experience Designer

At Genospace, our mission is to be the leading information platform for applied precision medicine.

Working from our headquarters in Boston, MA, our interdisciplinary team is merging the tools and techniques of genomics, analytics, and cloud computing. We serve research, clinical development, pathology, and clinical care customers who work with high- dimensional genomic and other biomedical data. Many of the most advanced precision medicine organizations are powered by Genospace. As the leading provider of information technology services in molecular medicine, our software is used today by clinicians and researchers across the country and around the globe to improve patient care.

What You’ll Do:

Genospace is looking for a highly creative User Experience Designer to play a role in helping Genospace define, design, and develop an impactful user experience in a field where it’s so desperately needed. Healthcare professionals spend up to 60% of every patient encounter with interfaces that reduce their role to data entry – let’s change that. This role involves using a multidisciplinary skill set that synthesizes business goals, user and technical considerations, and visual and interaction design to create clean and visually appealing experiences for our users.

As a UX Designer you will:

• Build relationships with our stakeholders and users to conduct exploratory user research focused on understanding their pain points, needs, and opportunities to delight

• Translate findings into design recommendations, and communicate those recommendations through diagrams, reports, or presentations

• Create wireframes, mockups, prototypes, information architecture, navigation models, screen flows and UI designs that adhere to the Genospace design system and brand

• Work with the Product and Engineering teams to prioritize and integrate your design recommendations into development sprints, and advocate for those designs throughout the development process

• Work with the UX team in conducting usability tests, performing expert evaluations, and iterating designs based on the results of those tests and evaluations

• Contribute to the roll-out / onboarding strategy and planning for new products and features

• Help the UX team maintain and evolve the Genospace design system, including design principles, styles and components library, color palette, interaction specifications, etc.

What We’re Looking For:

At Genospace we believe that good design is paramount and we strive to create a culture that supports the creation of innovative products through design thinking. The ideal UX Design candidate should have:

• A desire to solve complex communication and interaction problems

• Solid communication, time management, and interpersonal skills

• Experience or appetite for working in a dynamic team-based environment of user researchers, usability experts, and UI designers

• Experience in managing a number of projects simultaneously

• A portfolio or collection of your work that exemplifies your understanding of design principles and shows your passion for putting the user at the center of every design decision

• A demonstrated understanding of how business value can be derived from innovative and usable design

• The ability to work collaboratively within an interdisciplinary team

• A tendency to stay up-to-date with the most recent trends and design standards

• Passion for UX research, information architecture, data visualization, and production-ready UI design

Education & Background:

We care about talent and passion, not pedigree. We’re looking for someone who is ready to begin their career in user experience, with a formal or self-taught education in a related field (i.e. graphic, interface, information or interaction design, human computer interaction, product design, psychology, etc.).
