Senior Product Designer

Health systems still run critical operations like staffing, labor planning, and capacity on spreadsheets, phone calls, and guesswork.

Vitalize is building the AI operating system for how health systems manage labor and capacity. The impact is real: we save hospitals millions in unnecessary labor spend, give clinical leaders back 10–20 hours every week, and are often the reason staff and leaders stay.

We’re trusted by leading health systems across the country and have raised more than $31M from top healthcare and technology investors, including our own customers.

We hire and grow everyone against the same four values. Each one comes from a real Vitalize story—interview with us to hear them!

• 🚗 Push the Car. Step in regardless of role. We help wherever we're needed, own problems end to end, and don't stay in our lane. People can count on us.

• 🏥 Premier 1K. We show up for our customers, always. Nearly everyone visits a customer site in their first month, and customer feedback informs everything we do.

• 🗣️ Run Towards the Ugly. Name the ugliest truth first, then propose the fix. Candor over comfort—we call out what's broken, and never get complacent. This shapes our craft.

• 💡 Think Bigger Fridays. See the gap, fill it—no permission required. Every decision is an experiment: we run it, let the results decide, and drive real impact from day one.

Design at Vitalize is grounded in a deep understanding of the people and systems that power healthcare. We spend time in hospitals, learn how work happens from the frontline to the C-suite, and use those insights to design products that make complex operational decisions easier. We care deeply about craft, but we believe great design starts with getting the workflow right—not just the interface. As a small team, we work closely with Product and Engineering, share work early, challenge each other’s thinking, and stay close to the customers using what we build.

You’ll be the third product designer at Vitalize, joining at a stage where you’ll have significant ownership and room to shape the product. You’ll lead design for complex product areas from early discovery through launch, working alongside product managers and engineers to turn ambiguous problems into clear, intuitive experiences. You’ll design across data-dense and AI-powered workflows, contribute to our growing design system, and help establish a consistently high bar for the experiences we ship as Vitalize scales.

• Experience contributing to design systems—you understand reusable components and patterns and care about building consistency and quality into the product as it scales
