Our mission at Avelios is to unlock clinical data to power seamless healthcare operations for better patient care. To do so, we have built a modular software platform that digitizes and optimizes workflows in hospitals with cutting-edge technology in a user-friendly way. With our software, we enable hospitals, doctors & nurses to provide their patients with the best possible care.
We are growing fast and want to keep expanding our team and business to fundamentally digitize healthcare for the better. We appreciate different backgrounds and see diversity as one of our strengths.
To continue shaping the future of healthcare, we are looking for a (Senior) Product-Designer (all genders) to join our product team as a key contributor. In this role, you will be at the intersection of design, medicine, and technology: working hand-in-hand with product managers, engineers, and our subject-matter expert team of experienced doctors to design intuitive and user-centered solutions for hospitals.
Your work will span from prototyping, workflow optimization, and early UX research to high-fidelity UI design. You will also collaborate closely with engineering to ensure design quality and technical feasibility, engage in trade-off discussions, and help evolve our design system, including maintaining component consistency and working together on our Storybook implementation.
You will have the chance to pioneer UX research practices, protocols, and approaches within our team, helping us build a strong design culture while directly shaping how healthcare is delivered across Germany and beyond. Occasional travel to hospitals for on-site research will give you firsthand insight into user needs and workflows.
