# Design Technologist at Elation Health

- **Company:** Elation Health
- **Location:** US OR, Canada
- **Work type:** remote
- **Posted:** 2026-06-22

## Job description

Our team is committed to enhancing physician and patient quality of life through Elation, a SaaS cloud-based clinical platform. We’ve built a product that users love, and we plan to keep it that way by continuing to empathize with users and help them overcome their most significant challenges. Designing at Elation is humbling, challenging, and rewarding. Our users do work that affects human lives, and our tools can make or break that work.

## The Role

As a Design Technologist, you'll own the design and engineering of Elation’s design system while defining how AI-native systems compose UI — directing the interaction patterns, visual language, and developer experience that make it all feel simple.

Primary care clinicians have repeatedly awarded Elation "Best in KLAS" in our category, a recognition that reflects our clinician-first approach to design. Reporting up through our Chief Product Officer, you'll work within our frontend platform team to collaborate with everyone from the designers and engineers within Elation to the physicians who rely on our product every day, delivering care to more than 25 million patients.

The right candidate thrives in complexity and brings the craft and curiosity this role requires. If you want to do complex, meaningful work at the place where design, engineering, and healthcare intersect, we'd love to hear from you!

## What you’ll do

- Own the architecture, strategy, design, engineering, and evolution of Elation’s design system.
- Lead an AI-agent-first rearchitecting of the design system. Encoding composition rules and component guidelines for an agent to discover and apply.
- Help define Elation’s AI-native experience through component design, pattern development, and an opinionated point of view that moves how design and engineering build.
- Help shape our application’s design direction and visual language.
- Deeply understand and research our users — their problems, workflows, and jobs-to-be-done — to build the best-in-class tools for their work.
- Support your partners in design and engineering to leverage these systems.

## What we’re looking for

Success in this role can take many different shapes — we don’t expect you to arrive having mastered every part of it. If you feel you’re a strong candidate for this role and excited to collaborate, we encourage you to apply.

- 5+ years of experience creating and shipping complex, web-based products in a cross-functional team as a designer, engineer, or related role.
- 2+ years leading cross-functional projects or initiatives, with a proven record of driving strategy and execution.
- A genuine multi-discipline practitioner. Strong at both design craft and building with modern frontend frameworks.
- Strong knowledge of design systems.
- Experience in health tech or other compliance-heavy industries.
- AI-native work practices and experience building with agentic tools like Claude Code or Cursor.

## Nice to have

- Experience designing or building for AI-native user experiences.
- Strong API literacy and data modeling experience.
- Accessibility and WCAG experience.
- Experience building AI platform or infrastructure (MCP servers, eval harnesses, token build pipelines).
