The Role

BenevolentAI is on a mission to change the way we discover and create new medicines. We’ve built a platform of computational and experimental technologies and processes that can advance the entire drug development process. We’re now building a team of designers to help take our platform to the next level.

As a Visual Designer, you will join a cross-functional squad that designs and develops user-facing products for our internal users — experts in biology, chemistry, and clinical sciences. In this role you will be shaping the look and feel of our products (covering all aspects of user interface) and design novel ways in which data visualisation can enable scientific insight and discovery.

Working closely with members of our product, engineering, design, and science teams, you will address non-trivial user needs such as exploring vast quantities of mined and inferred biomedical data, understanding predictions from AI models, or making informed decisions for complex multi-parameter problems.

While driving our visual design and UI design work from concept, through prototyping and testing, to implementation, you will also own and evolve our design system.

Primary Responsibilities

Create, refine, and deliver user interface concepts, wireframes, prototypes, specifications, and assets across all stages of the product development process
Apply user-centred design principles and practices to meet user needs and product requirements
Work closely with members of the engineering teams to support the implementation of design specifications
Communicate design work and rationale to team members and stakeholders
Maintain and evolve visual standards and design consistency across products

‍

We are looking for someone with

Experience in digital product design working on user-facing projects
A design portfolio highlighting multiple projects, your process, direct contributions, and demonstrated use of visual design principles and practices (typography, colour, layout, etc.) as well as high attention to detail
Excellent skills in low- and high-fidelity user interface design, including proficiency with industry standard design tools, e.g. Sketch, Photoshop, Marvel, Figma
Experience working creatively with data and data visualisation
Demonstrated strong communication skills, including the ability to effectively present design work and articulate complex concepts to diverse audiences
Experience working with iterative software development teams in a cross-functional setting, employing agile and lean practices
Ability to write clearly
Experience working with a design system
Ability to work independently and under time pressure
Curiosity, open mind to work on complex challenges in scientific domains
Experience in a relevant sector (life science, healthcare, data science, etc.) is a plus
