About Tennr:

Today, when you go to your doctor and need to be referred to a specialist (e.g., for sleep apnea), your doctor sends a fax (yes, in 2024, 90% of provider-provider communication is a 1980s fax). These are often converted into 20+ page PDFs, with handwritten (doctor’s handwriting!) notes, in thousands of different formats. The problem is so complex that a person has to read it, type it up, and manually enter your information. Tennr built RaeLLM™ (7B—trained on 3M+ documents) to read these docs, talk to your doc to ensure nothing is missed, and text you to help schedule your appointment so you can get better, faster.

Tennr is a NYC-based tech company that launched out of Y-Combinator and is backed by Lightspeed Venture Partners, Andreessen Horowitz, Foundation Capital, The New Normal Fund, and other top investors.

About the role:

As an early designer at Tennr, you'll leverage your design expertise to the product that reduces patient delays across the U.S Healthcare System.

We are looking for a Senior to Principal-level Product Designer who is passionate about tackling the most complex challenges in healthcare and isn’t afraid to own them. Someone who skillfully parses through ambiguity and deeply cares about creating the best possible experiences. You’ll report directly to a co-founder to help inform our roadmap and problems to work on.

This role is ideal for someone with a strong ambition to tackle a high-impact problem space, who can thrive in a fast-paced startup environment and is eager to contribute to foundational aspects across product, design, and processes.

Key Responsibilities:

• Take full design ownership across multiple project streams, leading the entire product design process from research to development handoff and post-release analysis and support.

• Collaborate with the team to prioritize the product roadmap and shape product strategy and direction.

• Conduct user interviews, validate ideas with customers, define key problems to solve, analyze feedback, distill insights, and iterate on design to ensure alignment with business goals.

• Create high-fidelity interactive prototypes and ensure smooth development handoff. Manage constraints related to scope and deadlines.

• Be an active contributor to our Design System.

• Contribute to ongoing improvements in the design and development process.

Qualifications:

• You excel at breaking down ambiguous, complex problems into clear, actionable projects.

• You communicate ideas effectively—from high-level abstraction to pixel-level detail—clearly articulating the trade-offs involved.

• You have a passion for visual precision and a strong commitment to iterating on your work until it reaches customers at the highest level of quality. Your dedication inspires engineering and product partners to uphold the same standard of excellence.

• You are self-organized and confident in managing cross-functional stakeholders.

• You are adaptable and thrive in fast-paced, ever-changing environments. You can respond quickly to shifts in direction and know how to manage scope within tight time constraints.

• You have 5+ years of experience in relevant roles, ideally within startups or high-growth environments.
