Associate Product Designer (College Grad 2027) at Solace (Redwood City, CA)Associate Product Designer (College Grad 2027)

Healthcare in the U.S. is fundamentally broken. The system is so complex that 88% of U.S. adults do not have the health literacy necessary to navigate it without help. Solace cuts through the red tape of healthcare by pairing patients with expert advocates and giving them the tools to make better decisions—and get better outcomes. We're a Series C startup, founded in 2022 and backed by Inspired Capital, Craft Ventures, Torch Capital, Menlo Ventures, Signalfire, and IVP. Our U.S. based team is lean, mission-driven, and growing quickly. Solace isn't a place to coast. We're here to redefine healthcare—and that demands urgency, precision, and heart. If you're looking to stretch yourself, sharpen your edge, and do the best work of your life alongside a team that cares deeply, you're in the right place. We’re intense, and we like it that way.

As an Associate Product Designer at Solace, you’ll help design the healthcare experience of the future alongside experienced product designers, product managers, engineers, and clinicians. This is a hands-on role for early-career designers who want to learn fast, build real products, and see their work shipped to users. You’ll help distill complex healthcare workflows into clear, usable, and thoughtful experiences. You won’t be expected to have everything figured out—but you will be expected to bring curiosity, care, and a strong bias toward action. This role is for the hungry, the ambitious, and the deeply curious. You’re energized by feedback, excited by complexity, and motivated by the idea that good design can make people’s lives meaningfully better.
