Interaction Designer
Medic Mobile is a nonprofit technology company that was founded in
2010 to improve health in underserved communities. Our organization
builds mobile and web applications for community health workers
(CHWs), health system managers, and decision-makers. We see
healthcare service delivery gaps through the eyes of our users and
their patients, and co-design improved workflows and systems with
local implementing partners. Medic Mobile has worked with over 60
partners across 23 countries in Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the
US. Based in San Francisco with regional offices in Africa and Asia,
our technology supports over 14,000 frontline health workers and is
helping improve healthcare delivery for over 8 million people.
Job Description
Position: Interaction designer
Type of employment: Full-time
Location: Flexible. Medic has offices in San Francisco, Nairobi, and
Kathmandu, and 30% of our teammates work remotely.
As Medic's primary interaction designer, you will help bring the
insights from our human-centered design field work into an intuitive
mobile web interface. You will work in a collaborative environment to
create visual interactive prototypes for usability testing and for
our developers to implement. You will help conduct and process user
feedback into features and interfaces that empower community health
workers through mobile technology.
At Medic, creative solutions to complex problems are the norm. We
work in environments with extreme constraints and are inspired by how
technology can bridge gaps and reinvent workflows. We're also a team
of realists and shape our tools based on what is most useful and
sustainable for our users and partners. Some of our users have never
used a touchscreen before; others have several of their own devices.
Many of our users work in low-connectivity environments. As an
interaction designer, you'll be inspired to create intuitive
interfaces to help health workers feel supported, informed, and
connected to their peers, managers, and patients.
You'll be joining a distributed product team and should be
comfortable working independently and collaborating in virtual space.
We have service designers in Nairobi and Kathmandu to be close to our
partners and users, product managers in San Francisco and Toronto,
and developers in many time zones to provide round-the-clock support.
As interaction designer, you will report to Medic's Chief Design
Officer based in San Francisco.
