At SimplePractice, we have over 35,000 private practice clinicians using our best-in-class platform and mobile apps to run great businesses and deliver better care to millions of clients.
As the market leader, we’re not about to rest. It’s now time to take our platform to the next level by bringing consistency and polish to the user experience which brought us to this point while expanding functionality to meet even more needs of modern health and wellness business owners. To accomplish this we’re building a world-class team of experienced software designers looking to do great work that has a direct and profound impact on the lives of customers.
Each member of this team will earn ownership of design systems and areas of our platform. You’ll work collaboratively with product managers, engineers, support agents, and customers to expand the power of our platform by maintaining its simplicity. A thoughtfully designed interplay between our scheduling, billing, documentation, and client communication systems is what earned us market leadership. That same commitment to innovative, disciplined product design will carry us to success in the next phase of our journey.
Demonstrate great work, great judgement, and adapt to our unique and high-functioning development process and you’ll quickly earn a tremendous amount of responsibility, autonomy, and leadership opportunity.
