About RS21
RS21 is a leading data science and visualization company tackling humanity’s biggest challenges. We develop interactive, big data analytics and visualization products that connect people with the data they need to make better, faster, smarter decisions. With offices in Albuquerque, NM and Washington, D.C., RS21 works with the federal government, Fortune 500 companies, non-profits, healthcare organizations, and public and private organizations across the United States and internationally.
RS21 is looking for a Senior UX Designer with keen interest and abilities in several (but not all) of the following: product strategy, user research, IA, UX, UI, information design, and visual design. We are not looking for unicorns – rather generalists with deep areas of expertise or interest. While we don’t expect you to code, if you have the skills to put together interactive prototypes or have FED chops, that would be rad. Your ideal type of squad consists of inventive developers, brilliant data scientists, and other killer designers working in a collaborative, agile environment.
For this role, we are looking for designers with applicable, demonstrable experience in the medical field – specifically oncology and clinical / research tool interface research and design. Ability to lead the UX research and design of software projects focused on the complex fields of health analytics, bioinformatics, clinical informatics, and population health analytics is ideal, but we are open to another relevant health related domain expertise.
In other words, we do really cool stuff for our clients and have fun while doing it.
