About the job
Own product design and frontend implementation for Valthos’s biological intelligence platform, turning complex scientific and operational workflows into clear, production-ready software.
What you'll do
- Design and build core product experiences, from user flows and prototypes through production interfaces.
- Work with users and cross-functional teams to translate complex workflows into usable software and refine it through feedback.
- Develop the product’s visual language, interaction patterns, design system, and component foundations.
What they ask for
- Experience owning both design and frontend implementation of production-quality web applications, from exploration through launch.
- Strong product and design judgment for complex, information-dense software, including the ability to make ambiguous workflows understandable without losing important detail.
- Strong frontend engineering skills, especially with React, TypeScript, modern CSS, and component-based application architecture.
- Ability to work independently, learn quickly, communicate design and implementation decisions, and handle sensitive biological and national-security problems with discretion.
Nice to have
- Experience with analytical, scientific, developer, operational, or other data-rich software, including data visualizations beyond conventional dashboards.
- Experience with design systems, AI-assisted design and development tools, early-stage products, or computational biology, bioinformatics, biodefense, or national security.
