Role summary

The ideal candidate will have strong skills in Figma, React, and TypeScript, a portfolio showcasing both design thinking and shipped products, and a customer-obsessed, action-oriented mindset.

### **About Readily**
30% of U.S. healthcare cost is **administration**. We’re fixing that.
Readily is building the **compliance layer for the healthcare industry**. Billion-dollar healthcare organizations turn to Readily to analyze regulations, conduct audits, and automate compliance readiness with AI.
We’re the **fastest-growing company in this space** - **10x** revenue YoY. And we’re just getting started.
There’s an old Yorkshire saying: _“Where there’s muck, there’s brass.”_ Healthcare compliance is messy. But in that mess lies an enormous opportunity. If you’re hungry to take ownership and build systems that matter, this is it.
### About the Role
We’re hiring a **Design Engineer** to join our founding team in building the future of healthcare compliance AI. You’ll work directly with the founders, owning entire product surface our customers touch - from design concept to shipped code.
You'll have **founding-team-level ownership** over design direction, the design system, and the frontend experience. Own the customer **and** the product - not just Figma mock-ups. **10Ă— impact** vs big tech
### What You’ll Do
* Design and ship product features end-to-end (Figma → React/TypeScript → production).
* Translate messy compliance workflows - audit prep, universe scrubbing, regulatory tracking - into elegant product experiences.
* Build and maintain the design system: components, patterns, interaction standards that scale.
* Partner directly with customers - sit in on calls, understand their pain, design from that understanding.
* Own brand and visual identity across product, marketing site, and customer-facing materials.
* Make smart tradeoffs between polish, speed, and shipping.
### What We’re Looking For
* Strong across **design + frontend code**: Figma, React, TypeScript, CSS/Tailwind.
* **Portfolio that shows both** - design thinking _and_ what actually shipped to production.
* **Hunger:** High agency, a willingness to learn, and a drive to do whatever it takes.
* **Customer-obsessed**: Confusing UX keeps you awake at night.
* **Comfortable with complexity**: You've designed for data-heavy B2B workflows, multi-step processes, or enterprise users - not just consumer apps.
* **Intellectually humble**: Low ego, high curiosity, collaborative.
* **Biased toward action**: You ship, you don't wait for a spec.
### Why Join Readily
* **First design engineer hire.** You define the design culture, system, and visual language.
* **Career-defining experience**: set the bar for an entire product category that hasn't been designed well. Ever.
* **Hyper-growth environment** (10× YoY - you’ll feel it).
* A real chance to **fix healthcare’s most expensive problem** with AI.
* Weekly pickleball 🏓 + a team that loves to win together.
📩 If you want true ownership and fix healthcare from its roots - we’d love to talk.
