Product Designer - Sigma Team - Austin

About the Role

We're looking for a talented Product Designer to join our Sigma Team in Austin. You'll own design end to end, from conception to launch, on greenfield AI products used by clinical research professionals, sponsors, and study teams. On Sigma, design happens inside the build, not upstream of it. You'll sit alongside the Product Owner and AI Engineers, move from problem to demoable product in weeks rather than quarters, and use AI tools to take your own ideas as far as a working prototype before engineering picks them up. You'll conduct user research with technically sophisticated users, iterate rapidly, and help establish and evolve our design practices as the team grows.

The Sigma Team

The Sigma Team is Biorce's Tech Special Forces, an incubator tasked with building the most disruptive, highest-stakes AI products in the clinical trial space. This is not a team that iterates on existing products. Sigma builds from zero: defining the strategy, shipping under real speed and ambiguity, and treating every initiative as a new venture. Squads are small and cross-functional, with a Product Owner, AI Engineers, an embedded Scientific Lead, and you as the designer in the room from day one, not brought in once the problem is already framed.

Responsibilities

• Lead end-to-end design projects from research and discovery through shipping
• Design zero-to-one products with the Sigma squad, Product Owner, AI Engineers, and the embedded Scientific Lead, starting from an ambiguous problem rather than a finished brief
• Create wireframes, prototypes, and high-fidelity designs using Figma and other design tools
• Build working prototypes with AI tools (Claude and equivalents) to pressure-test ideas quickly and hand engineering something real, not just a spec
• Work closely with our user research and design system team
• Collaborate with product owners and engineers to define requirements and scope
• Present design solutions to leadership and defend design decisions
• Contribute to and maintain design systems and patterns for consistency across products
• Iterate rapidly on designs based on feedback, testing, and analytics
• Champion accessibility and inclusive design principles throughout the design process

Qualifications

• 4-6 years of product, UX, or interaction design experience
• Strong expertise in Figma, with the ability to jump in and iterate rapidly
• Experience designing in a fast-shipping environment, where cycle time is measured in weeks rather than quarters
• Experience conducting user research: interviews, usability testing, qualitative analysis
• Portfolio demonstrating thoughtful problem-solving and design process (please share a link)
• Familiarity with AI/LLM products and use cases is strongly preferred
• Proficiency with Claude, or willingness to quickly learn and master Claude's capabilities
• Understanding of accessibility principles (WCAG) and inclusive design practices
• Excellent communication skills: able to present designs, articulate rationale, and gather feedback effectively

Skills

• Prototyping skills in tools like Claude Design or Figma Make, with working prototypes you built yourself (nice-to-have)
• Experience taking a product from zero to one (nice-to-have)
• Design systems or component library experience (nice-to-have)
• Familiarity with design thinking methodologies (nice-to-have)
• Experience designing for technically sophisticated or expert users (scientists, analysts, clinicians, engineers) (nice-to-have)
• Experience working in complex product environments (nice-to-have)
• Exposure to clinical research, life sciences, or another regulated domain (nice-to-have)
• Additional languages (nice-to-have)

Why Join Us?

• A dynamic work environment with an international team, where collaboration and diversity thrive.
• Work alongside top talent, united by a shared purpose and committed to making a real impact.
• Design zero-to-one products on Sigma, with the autonomy to shape them from the first sketch.
• Comprehensive private health coverage to ensure your physical and mental well-being.
• Hybrid work model offering flexibility to balance your professional and personal life.
• Opportunity to shape the future of a fast-growing AI healthtech company.
• Company events to celebrate achievements and enjoy time together.
• Get equipped with a MacBook to enhance your productivity and work experience.
• Our office is pet-friendly! You'll likely be greeted by a few wagging tails upon arrival.
