About Nanit: 

Nanit is moving families beyond overwhelm by transforming how parents understand their baby's early years. We combine advanced AI, real-world data from billions of sleep hours, and clinical expertise to deliver the clarity and confidence every parent deserves. Trusted by over one million families and backed by $125M in funding, we're building an entirely new category: predictive parenting intelligence.

Here, your work directly impacts millions of families. Our team of scientists, engineers, and parents is small but mighty - we share a mission to make early childhood easier, healthier, and more connected. If you want to work on technology that genuinely matters, join us.

About the Role:

We're looking for a senior Product Design Consultant to join the team on a contract basis, focusing on an exciting set of strategic projects that support parents and families. 

You'll take work from concept through polished, build-ready design. Software is the priority, though experience designing for connected/physical products is a strong plus–this work lives at the intersection of hardware and app. 

You'll partner closely with Product, Engineering, Clinical, and Marketing to bring something genuinely new to market on a tight timeline.

What You'll Be Doing:

  • Design and ship specific product features and flows, from early concepts through detailed build-ready specs
  • Produce high-craft interaction and visual design for mobile experiences on iOS and Android
  • Work within Nanit's existing design system, using and extending established components and patterns
  • Navigate connected product flows including device pairing and sync experiences
  • Partner closely with engineers and PMs to refine designs and support implementation
  • Communicate design decisions clearly and incorporate feedback to keep projects moving

Who You Are:

  • 7+ years of product design experience with a strong portfolio of shipped consumer tech work
  • Excellent hands-on craft in mobile design on iOS and Android, with sophisticated interaction and visual design skills
  • Software-first designer with experience in connected or IoT products, consumer hardware, medical devices, or healthcare products considered a strong plus
  • Comfortable working within an established design system rather than building one from scratch
  • Highly proficient in Figma
  • Self-directed and quick to ramp, able to pick up projects with minimal oversight and deliver on schedule
  • Strong communicator who collaborates well with Product and Engineering partners
  • Comfortable using AI tools to move faster and explore ideas
  • Genuine interest in improving the lives of parents and babies through thoughtful design

Engagement Details:

  • Contract, project-based engagement of 3-6 months
  • Individual contributor, no direct reports, no team or strategy ownership
  • Hybrid, 2 days per week in office down in Tribeca 
  • Hourly rate: $130-$170, commensurate with experience
     

We are proud to be an equal opportunity employer. We provide employment opportunities without regard to age, race, color, ancestry, national origin, religion, disability, sex, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, veteran status, or any other protected class.

Skills Required

  • 7+ years of product design experience with a portfolio of shipped consumer tech products
