Founding Staff Engineer

Remote (US) or Miami · 6+ hours overlap with EasternAbout DocLoopDocLoop is the AI operating system for cash-pay practices in longevity, hormone, peptide, functional, and concierge medicine. Our mission is to give physicians their practice back.About 4 in 5 US physicians now work for a hospital, health system, or corporation. Many of those who go out on their own end up running their practice on five or more systems that don't talk to each other, and they become the glue between them.DocLoop brings it all together: one system, every workflow. We're an operating partner to the practice, with the product, the network behind it, and the services to get a practice running.Care. The chart, an AI scribe, and every protocol.Coordinate. Intake, reorders, scheduling, and messaging.Collect. Memberships and payments.Network. Partner compounding pharmacies licensed in all 50 states, 69,000+ retail pharmacies, and labs, all ordered from the chart.Services. White-glove migration and hands-on help to launch and grow.Loop, our AI, runs through all of it and drafts the work between visits. We remove the busywork so physicians can just practice.Ten physicians with decades in longevity medicine sit on our medical board and guide what we build. We're a small team with a live product in real practices.The rolePhysicians decide in the first few minutes whether software will save them time or cost them more of it. Patients judge the practice by the experience it hands them. Your job is to make DocLoop feel calm, fast, and trustworthy for both.You'll be our first designer. You'll own the design system and the visual language, design the surfaces where craft matters most, for patients and for physicians, across web and mobile, and set the quality bar for everything else we ship. Most of our code is written with AI agents and our product team prototypes in code, so you'll also write the design rules those agents follow, so the hundredth screen holds the same standard as the first.Product managers own the problem and the flow, and design inside your system. You own the system and how it looks. You'll work with our leadership team and our product and engineering team, and spend time with practices so the work stays grounded in how care gets delivered.How we workWe're a small team, and everyone owns something real from day one. These habits make that work.Practices first. We win when our practices and their patients do. When a choice helps us and hurts a practice, we make the other choice.Own it. Set the plan for your area, make the call, follow through without being asked, and tell people how it went.Build, don't wait. If a tool would help, build it or set it up. Everyone here builds, whatever their title.Move fast, prove it works. Patients are on the other end of what we ship, so we judge our work by what happens in real practices, not by what we hoped would happen.Merit over titles. The best idea wins no matter who it comes from. We reward results and judgment, not seniority.What you'll doOwn the design systemTake over a design system already in production, and tighten its tokens, components, and patternsDecide what the system includes and what it leaves out, and write down whyTurn the system into rules our coding agents follow, and check that what they build holds to itReview what ships for consistency, quality, and accessibilityDesign the surfaces patients and physicians see firstDesign the patient experience, from first visit to ongoing careDesign how practices present themselves and how patients book visitsDesign for physicians on the go, for the work between visitsWrite the in-product copy for what you designPrototype and ship with the teamPrototype in code or with AI tools when a static mockup can't answer the questionGive product and engineering designs they can build from, and stay with the work until it shipsRun design critiques that keep the work visible to the whole teamLearn from practicesSit in on practice workflows and patient onboarding at least once a monthTest designs with physicians, staff, and patients before they ship and afterShare what you saw with product and engineering, with notes or recordings they can watchWhat success looks like30 days: You've learned the platform, audited the design system, and shipped your first improvement.90 days: Your first major designs are shipped or in build, and agents are building to your design rules.6 months: A second major surface is live, new screens hold to the system without your review on every one, and you have a plan for how design grows.What we're looking for8+ years designing software products, with shipped work people useExperience building or rebuilding a design system a team actually adoptedCraft across visual design, interaction, and product copyYou use AI tools every day and can show us what you built with them. We'll ask to see a prototype in code or with a tool like Claude Code, Cursor, Figma Make, or v0, and how you wrote design rules for agents.Experience as a first or only designer, setting direction with little process around youClear writing, and the ability to do great work in limited, async hoursNice to haveHealthcare, fintech, or another regulated product where trust is the jobConsumer or commerce work: storefronts, checkout, bookingNative or responsive mobile designBrand and identity workEnough front-end skill to open a pull requestProbably not a fit ifYou'd rather hand off files and move on before the work shipsYou need a long research phase before you design anythingYou want a design team around you from day oneWhat we offerHow we start: Fractional, about 15 to 20 hours a week, with a path to full-time. We'll walk through the details on your first call.Compensation and equity: We cover both openly on your first call.Where and how we work: Remote across the US or from our office in Miami, async by default, on a small team that ships to real practices every week. You set the design direction for the whole product, starting with the first screen a patient sees. The whole company gets together in person a few times a year.How we hireIntro call (30 minutes)Portfolio walkthrough: one shipped project start to finish, including what you'd changeWorking session on a realistic product problem, shaped like oursConversation with the team you'd work withReferences and offerWe move quickly and tell you where you stand at every step.Apply here on LinkedIn.
