Our Hiring Process

We believe in a transparent and thoughtful selection process that respects your time while ensuring a mutual fit. Our goal is to see how you approach and solve real-world design problems, not just what your portfolio contains.

Initial Screening Call We'll discuss your background, experience, and career goals, while providing an overview of the role and our team culture. This is also your chance to ask us anything!
Design Challenge (Figma-Focused) You'll receive a Medlaunch design problem to solve within a specified timeframe. We encourage you to use our design system, with a strong emphasis on Figma for prototyping and design execution. This challenge is designed to see your end-to-end process: from problem definition and initial wireframes to final high-fidelity mockups and a clickable prototype.
Design Review & Process Interview We'll have an in-depth discussion about your challenge solution and your overall design philosophy. You should be prepared to walk through every step of your process:
User Problem: How did you define and validate the core user problem?
Design Rationale: Explain your key design decisions, trade-offs, and how they align with user needs and business goals.
Figma File: You must be ready to navigate your Figma file live, explaining your file structure, component library organization, naming conventions, and how the design is set up for eventual developer handoff.
Iteration & Feedback: Discuss potential improvements and how you would incorporate feedback on the design.

We're looking for designers who can think critically, champion the user experience, and structure their work for effective collaboration and execution—not just those who can make things look pretty.
