About Opportunity
BDX software is supporting a newly founded startup launched by a group of visionary doctors committed to improving patient care by streamlining and modernizing communication between healthcare providers. You will have a foundational role in shaping the product from concept to prototype, helping bring to life a tool that will transform how doctors communicate with each other and with patients, thus improving the patient experience and driving positive reviews for the hospital.
You’ll work closely with the client’s founding team to build an interactive prototype that sets the direction for future development. This is a high-impact opportunity to influence product design, workflow logic, and the client’s overall mission from day one.
What You’ll Do
* Collaborate directly with the client’s founders (clinicians) to understand their workflow, pain points, and goals
* Translate early concepts and requirements into user flows, wireframes, and high-fidelity interactive prototypes
* Lead founders through the end-to-end product design process — from research through prototyping
* Iterate designs based on feedback from medical professionals and internal stakeholders
* Build the design foundation for future product development, including design systems and component libraries
* Communicate design rationale clearly to both non-technical founders and technical teams (as they are added)
Requirements
* Based in Brazil (CNPJ required) and advanced/fluent in English.
* 5+ years of experience in UX/UI or product design, with a strong portfolio of interactive web/mobile prototypes who thrives in ambiguity and iteration
* Demonstrated ability to translate abstract or clinical problems into elegant design solutions
* Proficiency with advanced prototyping tools (Figma, Adobe XD, Origami, etc).
* Excellent collaboration and communication skills, especially with non-technical stakeholders
* Strong ownership mentality — you’ll be the only designer and an early voice in product direction
* Have interest in learning, stretching, and growing into new areas
Bonus Points For
* Having Engineering experience developing SaaS applications
* Having engineering/product leadership experience
* Knowledge of design for communication tools or messaging apps
* Experience working with healthcare-related platforms
* Experience working with early-stage startups
* Familiarity with US-based HIPAA regulations and health tech security standards
* Ability to support adjacent startup functions such as:
* Cloud infrastructure setup (e.g., AWS, GCP)
* DevOps and CI/CD pipelines
* Basic QA/testing processes
* Early-stage engineering contributions
* Product Operations (Founding Agile environments, JIRA implementation)
Why This Role Is Unique
* You’re joining at the ground floor — helping shape the core product experience
* You’ll have direct influence over user experience and product decisions
* Work closely with real users (doctors) to solve meaningful problems in patient care
* Set the design foundation for future hires and product scale-up
