Staff Product Designer, New Programs

About the Role

Hinge Health is building a new gastrointestinal care program that helps people better understand their symptoms, identify the right next steps, and access appropriate support and care.

As Staff Product Designer for the GI Program, you will help define what Hinge Health’s approach to GI care could become.
