The Opportunity

As a Product Designer, you'll play a role in shaping the future of Tiny Health's digital experiences. You'll own the end-to-end design of product experiences that help individuals and families better understand and improve their health through microbiome science.

This is a highly collaborative, hands-on role where you'll partner closely with product managers, engineers, scientists, clinicians, and stakeholders to identify opportunities, solve complex user problems, and bring thoughtful solutions to market quickly. You'll be involved across the entire product development process—from discovery and research to interaction design, visual design, prototyping, and iterating on features after launch.

We're looking for someone who is excited by ambiguity, thrives in a fast-paced startup environment, and believes that great design is about creating meaningful outcomes for users—not just beautiful interfaces. You'll have the opportunity to influence product strategy, raise the bar for design quality, and help define how millions of people experience personalized health.

What You’ll Do

• Own the end-to-end product design process—from discovery and concept development to prototyping, validation, developer handoff, launch, and iteration.

• Partner closely with product managers, engineers, scientists, clinicians, and stakeholders to define problems, prioritize opportunities, and deliver solutions that balance user needs, business goals, and technical constraints.

• Ensure product experiences accurately reflect the science by collaborating with clinicians, data scientists, practitioners, and content partners to translate complex information into clear, trustworthy experiences.

• Translate customer insights into product improvements by leveraging user research, analytics, experimentation, and post-launch feedback.

• Design intuitive, accessible experiences that simplify complex health information and empower users to take meaningful action.

• Move quickly and iterate often, shipping high-quality work without waiting for perfection while making thoughtful tradeoffs between speed and quality.

• Champion a high bar for product quality through exceptional interaction design, visual craftsmanship, systems thinking, and attention to detail.

• Contribute to and evolve our design system, improving consistency, scalability, and efficiency across the product.

• Influence product strategy by identifying opportunities, challenging assumptions, and advocating for customer needs throughout the product development process.

• Help grow our design practice by participating in critiques, sharing feedback, improving processes, and fostering a culture of learning and collaboration.

Qualifications

Required

• 5+ years designing, shipping and evolving digital products

• A strong portfolio showcasing end-to-end product design—from identifying customer problems through research, interaction design, visual design, launch, and measurable outcomes

• Proven experience designing for responsive web and mobile applications, with exceptional attention to interaction design, usability, and visual craftsmanship

• Proficiency in Figma, including prototyping, design systems, and developer handoff

• Demonstrated ability to work with ambiguity and simplify complex or technical concepts into intuitive, user-centered experiences

• Highly autonomous and self-directed, with a proven ability to manage competing priorities, drive initiatives forward, and deliver results with minimal guidance.

• Comfortable working in a remote-first environment, communicating proactively through async and synchronous channels, maintaining transparency with clear documentation and regular updates, and collaborating effectively while working independently.

Preferred

• Experience working with distributed teams across multiple time-zones

• Experience in DTC health/wellness companies

• Previous experience in a fast-paced startup environment

• Work experience in DTC health/wellness companies

• Experience working remotely, with proficiency in Slack

How we work

• Remote-First Company: our working hours follow a 2 hour window from 9 am - 6 pm CST

• Driven by an ambitious mission: we're reinventing how we should think about wellness from the first 1,000 days to the last

• Shape what we build, not just how we build it: we prioritize experimentation with taking ownership, and moving fast

• No hidden agendas: we operate with full transparency because when everyone's working from the same honest picture, you spend less time on politics and more time on impact

• High standards, human culture: we hold ourselves to a high bar and do it alongside a team who can laugh at themselves and make the hard days genuinely enjoyable

Our Values

1. Learn fast, be better (root cause analysis)

   What that looks like: When a stakeholder gives constructive criticism to a test result, instead of just apologizing and moving on, you dig into why it happened and update the process so the feedback is not received again.

2. Be relentlessly resourceful (be scrappy)

   What that looks like: When a customer asks a question about our science, you you spend time digging through our docs and filtering through Slack for previous replies before pinging the team. You also know not to burn a whole day stuck, so you ask for help with a clear summary of what you've already tried.

3. Think like an owner (ownership)

   What that looks like: When you notice customer engagement is dropping, you don't shrug it off as another team's problem - you flag it, dig into the numbers, and bring a fix, because you're hungry to see the whole company win, not just your own tasks hit their targets.

4. Act with honesty and empathy (radical candor)

   What that looks like: When a colleague shares an idea that carries real risk, challenge in the moment and do it with kindness - don’t vent about it afterward in a side conversation.

5. Delight people by anticipating their needs (create raving experiences)

   What that looks like: You put yourselves in the shoes of the customer or collaborator before presenting an idea, process, or proposal. Think ahead about what their pain and gain points are, and curate your communication to address their needs.
