Visual Designer
BenevolentAI, founded in 2013, creates and applies AI technologies to transform the way medicines are discovered and developed. BenevolentAI seeks to improve patient’s lives by applying technology designed to generate better data decision making and in doing so lower drug development costs, decrease failure rates and increase the speed at which medicines are generated. The company has developed the Benevolent Platform™ - a discovery platform used by BenevolentAI scientists to find new ways to treat disease and personalise drugs to patients.BenevolentAI is HQ’d in London with a research facility in Cambridge (UK) and further offices in New York and Antwerp. BenevolentAI has active R&D drug programmes from discovery to PhaseIIb in disease areas such as ALS, Parkinson’s, Ulcerative Colitis and Sarcopenia.
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 Responsabilities
- 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
Nice to have but optional
