Product Designer (UI/UX)
About Visilant
Visilant is a commercial-stage, digital health non-profit organization founded out of the Johns Hopkins University focused on creating and deploying accessible, AI-powered eye screening technologies to eliminate avoidable blindness. More than 1 billion people live with treatable eye diseases, yet care remains out of reach due to a shortage of eye specialists, long travel distances, and high costs, especially for rural and low-income patients.
About the Role
Visilant is hiring a Product Designer (UI/UX) to help shape the user experience of our core products across mobile and web. You will be responsible for designing intuitive, accessible workflows used by community health workers, ophthalmologists, and administrators in real-world clinical settings.
This is a highly hands-on role where you will work closely with engineering, clinical, and product teams to transform complex healthcare workflows into simple, elegant user-experiences. You will own the end-to-end design process, from user research and workflow discovery through prototyping, visual design, and developer handoff.
As an early member of a small team, you will have the opportunity to shape not only the product experience but also how Visilant communicates its mission and technology to partners, customers, and investors. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys moving between user interviews, workflow design, polished product interfaces, and the visual storytelling needed to communicate a product's value.
If you're passionate about designing products that have meaningful global impact and enjoy working directly with users to solve difficult problems, we'd love to hear from you.
