About NexHealth
Our healthcare system remains frustratingly analog. When you live in a world of one-tap car rides, instant meal delivery, and unlimited streaming, why do you still have to call to schedule a doctor’s appointment and fill out a clipboard in the waiting room?
NexHealth’s mission is to accelerate innovation in healthcare by connecting patients, providers, and developers. We’re building the infrastructure layer for modern healthcare, connecting thousands of fragmented, on-premise, and closed EHR systems into a single, modern platform that powers software, APIs, payments, and patient experiences across the ecosystem.
- Founded: 2017
- Headquarters: San Francisco, CA
- Funding: $177M Series C
- Employees: 200+
- Trusted by tens of thousands of providers and hundreds of health-tech developers — forging the infrastructure layer that modern healthcare needs
About the Role
Design the best product experiences—not just in healthcare, but across any industry. Make NexHealth known for design excellence. You will own end-to-end design execution across our most critical surfaces. Your north star is user clarity and product simplicity. Like Airbnb or Apple, we believe design is not just polish—it’s a strategic weapon. NexHealth must become a design-led company. The bar isn’t “great for healthcare”—it’s world-class, period. As we scale, design will be our competitive edge—not just our coat of paint.
You won’t support PMs. You’ll be equal to them—and often lead product scope and influence technical architecture through superior UX clarity. Our process starts with designing the ideal user experience first. From there, we spec product features and only then write code. Design sets the direction. Everything else follows.
What You’ll Do
- End-to-end UX design across NexHealth payments.
- Full responsibility for research, flows, wireframes, prototypes, and final UI.
- Lead product scope and shape technical implementation through design-first thinking.
- Collaborate tightly with PMs and Engineers as a co-equal product builder.
- Build and evolve design systems and scalable UI standards.
- Craft experiences that eliminate work or make the job dead simple for users.
- Champion user clarity, accessibility, and precision across every surface.
- Make design decisions that directly shape product architecture and engineering priorities.
What You'll Bring
- Users understand and love the product without needing explanation.
- UX becomes a primary reason for adoption, retention, and customer satisfaction.
- Design drives clarity across engineering and product teams.
- NexHealth earns recognition as a product and design powerhouse.
- You shape product strategy through your design leadership.
- Users feel confident, delighted, and in control—even in high-stakes workflows.
- 6–10+ years of end-to-end product design ownership.
- Deep experience in SaaS, platform, or API-heavy environments is a plus
- Strong product intuition and the ability to lead product strategy through design.
- You think like a PM and build like an engineer.
- World-class taste and systems thinking.
- Ruthlessly reduce friction, polish flows, and solve for clarity over cleverness.
You Might Thrive Here If
- You think like a product owner and build like an engineer.
- You’ve built design-led products that succeeded at scale.
- You default to simplification over decoration.
- You believe clarity is the highest form of design.
- You want to help define the next great product and design company in tech.
Why Now
We are scaling fast. NexHealth must be known for its design. We believe design is a company-level strategy, not a function. You will lead our most important product work and help define the future of NexHealth from the top. The next great infrastructure company will be defined by design. That’s our bet.

Our Values
- Solve the customer’s problems, not yours
When making decisions, think from the perspective of the customer. It’s easy to make decisions that make our lives simpler, but not the customers. - Do the things others are not willing to do
As a Nexer, always go after the hardest problems. Pursue things at the highest quality. Move at the fastest pace. - Take ownership
Act like a founder. Own your roles, destinies, mistakes, behavior, and our mission. The buck stops with each of us - no blaming or excuses. - Say what’s on your mind, with positive intent
Be direct, proactive, transparent, and frequent in your communication. - Default trust
As a Nexer, you do not have to earn trust, trust is given to you by default. If we by default trust each other, our speed of communication, feedback, information sharing, and overall improvements will be a lot faster. - Think in first principles
We first identify the problem and then break it down to its fundamentals before diving into solutions. We constantly ask “why” to validate our assumptions.
We are an equal opportunity employer and value diversity at our company. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, sex, gender expression, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status. We provide reasonable accommodation for individuals with disabilities to participate in the application or interview process. Contact [email protected] to request assistance.
