Staff Designer

About Us:

Ambience is developing the most capable AI systems for healthcare and medicine. As healthcare costs soar to 17.3% of US GDP and a projected shortage of 100,000 physicians within the next decade, the need for AI is critical. Our frontline healthcare workers are overwhelmed, with only 27% of the average clinician's day spent on direct patient care.

Our vision is to advance healthcare by empowering clinicians with safe, intelligent AI agents that improve quality, reduce costs, and enhance both patient and provider experiences.

Headquartered in San Francisco, we have secured $100M in funding from top investors, including Kleiner Perkins, OpenAI Startup Fund, Andreessen Horowitz, Optum Ventures, Human Capital, and Martin Ventures. We collaborate with leading AI experts such as Jeff Dean, Richard Socher, Pieter Abbeel, and AIX Ventures.

Join us in the endeavor of accelerating the path to safe & useful clinical super intelligence by becoming part of our community of problem solvers, technologists, clinicians, and innovators.

About the Role

We’re looking for a Staff Product Designer to own and accelerate the end-to-end user experience across our Clinical AI products. You’ll drive key product initiatives from whiteboard to launch—partnering closely with engineering, product, clinical experts, and our customers.

What You’ll Accomplish

• Own end-to-end product design across high-priority features, from rough sketches to polished shipped experiences

• Deeply understand our users—especially clinicians—through embedded research, shadowing, and feedback loops

• Drive clarity in ambiguity: partner with PMs, engineers, and clinical AI research teams to shape the roadmap and translate complex workflows into elegant, intuitive UX

• Build scalable design systems that enable rapid prototyping without sacrificing quality or consistency

• Mentor designers and influence culture, bringing design thinking into product strategy conversations, critiques, and postmortems

• Act like an owner: whether it’s improving cross-functional tooling or jumping into front-end polish, you’ll do what it takes to deliver great outcomes

What We Look For

Must-Have Skills

• 5-8 years in Strategic Finance, FP&A, investment banking, or equivalent startup finance roles

• Elite Excel / Sheets modeling abilities — capable of building multi-driver forecast models quickly and accurately

• Hands-on experience designing and managing full-cycle budgeting processes

• Strong generalist mindset — adept at partnering with GTM, Product / Eng, and Ops leaders

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills; comfort presenting to executive and investor audiences

Nice-to-Have Skills

• Positioned within high-growth and/or Series C+ stage startups

• Exposure to FP&A automation or dashboard tools

• Startup experience — comfortable navigating ambiguity and shifting priorities

We’d Love to Hear From You If You…

• Thrive in fast-paced, ambiguous environments and take initiative without waiting for direction

• Have shipped high-impact product design work in technically complex B2B Saas domains

• Are fluent across the full design stack—research, UX, UI, prototyping, systems—and can pivot fluidly as needed

• Communicate clearly with technical and non-technical partners alike (engineers, clinicians, execs)

• Obsess over the user experience, especially for high-stakes, high-friction workflows

• Operate with speed, experimentation, and a bias toward action.

Pay Transparency

The base compensation for this role is approximately $220,000 - $290,000 per year, excluding equity or bonus. We’re providing flexibility so you can strike a cash vs. equity balance that works best for you. Our philosophy is to offer meaningful equity so our team shares directly in the value we build.

Are you outside this range? We encourage you to apply — we consider individual needs and experiences.

Location

We are targeting candidates within commutable distance of our San Francisco, CA office for this role.
