COMPANY SUMMARY
Dr.Evidence is the preeminent AI-powered insights platform for life sciences, enabling teams to generate rapid and relevant insights grounded in published medical literature, clinical trial data, drug labels, regulatory documents and beyond, delivering value from drug discovery through commercialization. We push the boundaries of healthcare technology and allow for new possibilities in science, enabling more informed decision making and faster time-to-market for accelerated impact.
RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT (R&D) ORGANIZATION SUMMARY
The Dr.Evidence R&D organization includes software engineers, QA/QC engineers, product management, scrum masters, and business analysts. R&D is responsible for all aspects of product development, from ideation to maintenance. Our software engineers are experienced, talented, precise, and move at a fast pace to ensure speed-to-market goals for our customers are met.
Position Objectives and Focus
The UI/UX Designer will own the end-to-end user experience of our cloud-native SaaS platform built on the PERN (PostgreSQL, Express.js, React, Node.js) stack. The primary objective is to translate complex business workflows into intuitive, accessible, and visually compelling interfaces that drive user adoption, reduce churn, and accelerate feature velocity.
Core Focus Areas:
- User-Centered Product Design: Conduct research, synthesize insights, and iterate designs to solve real customer pain points in B2B workflows.
- Design System Ownership: Build and maintain a scalable, token-based design system that aligns with React component architecture and enforces consistency across web and future mobile touchpoints.
- Developer Handoff Excellence: Deliver production-ready assets, interactive prototypes, and detailed specifications that integrate seamlessly with our PERN front-end (React + TypeScript) and backend APIs.
- Performance-Aware Aesthetics: Optimize visual and interaction design for fast load times, progressive enhancement, and accessibility (WCAG 2.2 AA) within a single-page application environment.
Responsibilities
Research & Discovery
- Plan and facilitate user interviews, usability tests, and journey mapping sessions with enterprise customers.
- Analyze behavioral analytics and support tickets to identify friction points.
- Collaborate with Product Managers to define MVP scope and success metrics.
Interaction & Visual Design
- Create high-fidelity wireframes, interactive prototypes (Figma), and polished UI mockups for desktop-first responsive layouts.
- Design data-dense dashboards, configurable forms, and real-time collaboration features native to SaaS workflows.
- Extend and enforce the PERN-aligned design system (tokens, components, documentation) used by React developers.
Developer Collaboration
- Produce developer-ready specs: component variants, state diagrams, API payload examples, and CSS variable mapping.
- Participate in sprint planning and design reviews with product and development teams.
- Conduct design QA on staging builds to ensure pixel-perfect implementation and accessible contrast/keyboard navigation.
Iteration & Metrics
- Launch A/B tests for key flows (onboarding, upgrade CTA) and measure NPS, task completion rates, and time-on-task.
- Maintain a rapid iteration loop: prototype → user test → ship → measure → refine.
Qualifications
Required
- 3+ years of UI/UX design experience shipping B2B SaaS or complex web applications.
- Expert proficiency in Figma (auto-layout, variants, dev mode handoff) and familiarity with component-driven workflows.
- Strong portfolio demonstrating end-to-end design process: research artifacts, wireframes, high-fidelity mocks, and shipped outcomes with measurable impact.
- Deep understanding of React-specific constraints (conditional rendering, loading states, error boundaries) and ability to design within them.
- Proficiency in accessibility standards (WCAG 2.2 AA), semantic HTML, and ARIA patterns.
- Experience designing token-based design systems that map directly to CSS variables and Tailwind/TSS utilities.
Preferred
- Hands-on experience with TypeScript, Storybook, or Chromatic for component documentation.
- Familiarity with PostgreSQL data models and REST/GraphQL API response shapes to design efficient table and form interactions.
- Motion design skills for micro-interactions (Framer Motion, CSS animations) that enhance perceived performance.
- Bachelor's degree in Design, HCI, or equivalent professional experience.
- Contributed to open-source React component libraries.
- Experience with design tokens automation (Style Dictionary, Theo).
- Remote pair-designing with distributed engineering teams
