From Sage Care Inc's posting. “We” and “our” refer to the employer.
Sage Care is a fast-growing, early-stage healthcare startup founded by exceptional leaders from Apple, Uber, Carbon Health and backed by top-tier venture capital (General Catalyst, Chelsea Clinton). With a strong customer pipeline, Sage Care is transforming healthcare by simplifying care navigation.
Our platform makes it easier for patients to find the right doctor, helps providers focus on those who need them most, and ensures faster access to care – delivering better care and stronger economic outcomes at scale through harnessing the latest AI innovations.
Building on our successful collaborations with health systems across the U.S., we have expanded internationally to the MENA region. We are now partnering with health systems there to deploy our AI-powered care navigation platform.
You would be our first full-time designer. That means you shape what we build and how it works, setting the standard for design's role in the product as the team grows.
Our work shapes how hospital staff experience their jobs: whether a referral coordinator processes their queue with less friction, whether the people answering phones trust what the copilot tells them. These are dense, high-stakes workflows, and the conventions for AI-assisted care navigation do not exist yet. That means staying close to real users, prototyping quickly, and getting comfortable with ambiguity.
We care about craft, the details that make something feel polished and trustworthy. We also ship fast and learn from real use rather than waiting for perfection.
You lead with research, not pixels.
You'd rather understand the person and the problem before starting a prototype. You run your own sessions, ask the uncomfortable questions, and let what you learn change the design.
You're a real product partner.
You're opinionated about what to build and why, not just how it looks, and you hold your own with the CTO and engineers.
Your craft is the real thing.
Your work is polished and considered, with a point of view. Composition, typography, and layout get the same attention as the logic behind them – and you know that in clinical software, details build trust.
You ship fast and iterate.
You'd rather get something in front of users this week than polish it for a month, and you know when to ship and when to keep going.
You're AI-native, not AI-reliant.
You already use AI tools to explore and move faster, and you know which parts of the work, the research, judgment, and craft, still have to be yours.
You raise the bar around you.
You bring standards and patterns from where you've been and make the people you work with better.
You’re excited about being in an IC role today.
You want to focus on your own design impact for now, not manage a team from day one. As the company grows, there will absolutely be opportunities to lead and manage our design team, if that's of interest!
