Role Description Build the design foundation for EviSmart's entire product suite. The Problem We're Solving: - Dental labs and clinics across 28 countries run on fragmented workflows. - Disconnected communication, manual case management, and outdated software. - EviSmart is replacing this with an intelligent, unified platform. - AI-powered crown design, structured case communication, and a comprehensive dashboard. - The products are live and growing, but the design foundation is yet to be established. Why This Role, Right Now: - EviSmart's product suite is expanding across multiple surfaces. - A structured communication platform for labs and dentists. - An AI-powered design module automating crown production. - A unified operations dashboard. - The new hire will define the design language, component library, and UX patterns. A Note from the Team: "We need someone who doesn't wait for a brief to start understanding the problem. The designer we're looking for goes directly to users, maps the workflow, figures out where it breaks, and comes back with a design direction. If you've done your best work in environments where the problem wasn't fully defined when you arrived, this is the right conversation." — Paolo Kalaw, CEO, EviSmart What You’ll Own - Define the design system and component library for the engineering org. - Own end-to-end UX across EviSmart's product suite. - Run user research, workflow discovery, and requirements gathering independently. - Design for multiple distinct user types without muddling the experience. - Own the UX of AI-assisted workflows. - Validate designs with real users for feedback. - Establish design as a discipline across the product org. What You'll Get - End-to-end design ownership across a live, growing product suite. - A design system to build from scratch. - Direct access to 2,000+ real lab customers for user research. - AI-adjacent product work from day one. - Production AI tooling built in-house. - Competitive compensation with salary range disclosed at offer. How We Work - We ship before we’re 100% certain. - We document processes due to our two offices. - We debate openly and move without resentment. - We prioritize the customer’s real problem over internal processes. The Question You're Probably Asking "There's no existing design function. Does that mean I'm starting from zero with no context, no research, and no direction? There's more to inherit than it sounds. The product is live, the customer base is real, and the engineering teams have been making design decisions for months — which means there's a clear picture of where the gaps are. You're not walking into a blank room. You're walking into a product org that knows exactly what it's been missing and is ready to move the moment you arrive." — EviSmart Talent Team What We Need - 5+ years UI/UX design experience with complex, workflow-heavy, or operational products. - Experience running discovery independently. - Designed AI-assisted or data-driven interfaces. - Built a design system from scratch. - Strong skills in Figma, user research, wireframing, prototyping, interaction design. - Comfortable as the only designer embedded in engineering squads. - Designed for multiple distinct user types within the same product. - Portfolio shows real shipped product work in complex domains. - SaaS or B2B platform experience preferred; dental or healthcare background not required.
