Job Description
Hi! We're looking for our next Product Designer at Decoda Health, and we do design a little differently here. If that excites you, read on. We want a versatile, intrinsically motivated designer who's excited to help rethink how modern healthcare software is built. At Decoda, you'll be part designer, part product manager, part consultant, and part design-system owner (or some combination of the four!).
