Product Designer

Translucent•New York, NY

About The Position

We're looking for a Product Designer to help shape the everyday experience of Translucent: the AI financial platform transforming how healthcare organizations make business decisions. You'll work shoulder-to-shoulder with our Founding Designer and Product Engineering to take ideas from rough concept to polished, shipped product. This role is hands-on and craft-focused: less about setting design strategy from scratch, more about turning complex financial and operational workflows into clear, usable, intuitive experiences, and making sure design intent survives all the way to production. If you are energized by fast-paced environments, love sweating the details, partnering closely with engineers, and seeing your work in customers' hands quickly, you'll feel at home here.

Requirements

5–8 years designing high-quality digital products, ideally in SaaS, analytics platforms, or AI-powered tools
Strong UX and interaction design skills: you can simplify complexity without flattening it
Real visual taste: you obsess over typography, hierarchy, spacing, and layout
Experience designing for data-heavy, workflow-driven use cases
Ability to produce production-ready designs and prototypes at a good clip
Product sensibility: You think beyond the screen to how real users will experience what you build
End-user empathy: Genuinely driven to understand healthcare operators' workflows and pain points
Startup realist: Ready to sprint when priorities shift, jump into unfamiliar areas when the team needs it, and wear multiple hats
Collaborative style: You work fluidly with Product and engineers and can explain the "why" behind your decisions
Excellent communication skills across technical and non-technical audiences

Nice To Haves

Experience designing for financial analytics, enterprise workflows, or healthcare users
Experience with conversational interfaces, copilots, agents, or generative AI UX patterns
Familiarity with maintaining design systems and component libraries in production
Prior startup experience where you owned hands-on execution
You can code (even a little!)

Responsibilities

Partner with Product Engineering and our Founding Designer to take projects from concept to shipped without hand-offs, owning the details that make the difference
Hunt down the "paper cuts" to refine key screens and flows, fix small inconsistencies, and design the missing pieces (empty, loading, error, and edge-case states) that make a product feel complete
Own design QA: review implementation against intent, hold the bar on typography, spacing, and interaction, and make sure what ships is production-ready and precise
Formalize ambitious concepts into clean, well-organized design files and reusable components the whole team can build on
Use and improve our design system, keeping patterns consistent as the product scales
Fold in feedback from Product, customers, and live usage to refine and iterate
