About the role

We're hiring a part-time Product Designer to join the Product & Design team at VitVio on a contract basis through January. This time around, we're specifically looking for someone who designs with AI at the core of their process, is comfortable using AI tools to speed up discovery and ideation, and proficient in AI-driven design to turn ideas into working, testable interfaces rather than static mockups.

You'll help define how surgical and hospital teams experience our tools: designing intuitive, high-impact interfaces that cut through complex clinical workflows and directly support better patient outcomes.

This is a hands-on role for someone who likes moving fast: exploring problems, building prototypes, testing with real users, and iterating until the details are right. You'll work across the full product lifecycle, from early discovery and research through to high-fidelity design and delivery, using AI tools throughout to move quicker without losing craft.

Day-to-day, you'll work closely with clinicians, engineers, and product stakeholders, balancing strong usability with the technical and clinical realities of the environment. Design is central to how we build at VitVio, and you'll have real influence over the product through your craft.

About you

Solid product design fundamentals. You can go from a rough problem to highly polished, production-ready interfaces.
Fluency in AI-native design and rapid AI-assisted prototyping as a default way of working
Proficiency in AI tooling. You regularly use tools like Claude, Cursor, v0, Bolt, Replit (or similar) to build functional prototypes, not just static mockups.
Practical knowledge of front-end implementation principles to streamline engineering handoffs.
Design for the hard parts of AI UX. Uncertainty, trust, transparency, and error/failure through clear system explainability, confidence indicators, graceful failure, and human oversight in safety-critical situations.
Proven ability to map human-AI interaction workflows by seamlessly blending prompting, output review, error correction, and the handoff of control.
Comfort working across the full lifecycle: discovery, research, prototyping, testing, delivery
Ability to work independently in a remote, contractor setup, with clear communication
Bonus: experience designing for healthcare, clinical, or other high-complexity operational environments

What we offer

Type: Contractor, not an employee role
Commitment: Part-time, flexible — with the option to scale up hours if needed, including during site visits
Start date: Mid-July to early August
Duration: Through January, with workload reassessed in December — there's a chance the team could expand, though there's no budget guarantee for a full-time position at this stage
Location: Fully remote (European time zones), with occasional trips to partner hospitals — hours may increase during those periods
Equipment: A laptop is provided for the duration of the contract

Hiring process

Screening call: 15 minutes, quick mutual fit check
Whiteboard challenge: 90 minutes, you'll work through a design problem and present a solution, showing how you use AI tools to go from concept to a working prototype
