About Design at Frontier
Were a small team growing deliberately - wed rather have five designers who trust each other than fifteen who dont.
Were tightly integrated with engineering. We prototype in code. We co-own the design system with developers. Were actively exploring what agentic-augmented design work looks like in practice not in think pieces and were honest when we dont have the answer yet.
Were active in shaping the product culture at Frontier; putting people first raising the quality bar and ensuring a coherent experience. Youll be part of shaping that culture.
About the role
Youll be one of the most senior designers on Frontier shaping a product thats still early enough that the decisions you make will define how it works for years.
Day to day youll be designing the surfaces where people and agents collaborate on real clinical decisions how evidence gets surfaced how recommendations get explained how humans push back how teams learn. This is hard unsolved design work. The existing patterns for AI interfaces mostly come from consumer chat products; they dont transfer cleanly to environments where the cost of a bad decision is measured in years of research or patient outcomes.
Youll be expected to work end-to-end: from framing the problem with product and engineering through prototyping in code and design canvases through shipping. Youll help set the craft bar for the team mentor the designers around you and push back when something isnt good enough yet.
What youll work on
Designing the core interaction patterns for how humans and agents collaborate inside a decision loop.
Making dense analytical information legible for expert users who need to trust it challenge it and act on it.
Shaping the shared design language and system that lets a small team move quickly without the product fragmenting.
Partnering with engineering from day one of any problem not from handoff.
Raising the bar for craft through your own work through critique and through the standards you hold the team to.
We think youll do well here if
Youve shipped complex software for expert users in a domain where getting it wrong has real consequences.
You design end-to-end and care about the pixels as much as the strategy.
Youve done serious work on AI or other non-deterministic systems and have opinions about what works and what doesnt.
Youre comfortable prototyping in code or motivated to get there.
Youre direct kind and can hold a clear point of view without needing to be the loudest in the room.
You want the people who use your product to have better working lives because of it.
You might not enjoy this role if
You want to work on a mature product with established patterns. Frontier is early and the ambiguity is real.
You prefer to work handoff-style away from engineers.
Youre looking for a role where design sets direction in isolation from product and engineering. We work as one team.
