About Us
Our Healthcare division at Oracle is committed to revolutionizing the healthcare domain through cutting-edge technology. We aim to create a state-of-the-art consumer-grade end user experience across our portfolio of products, that will be the factor that distinguishes our software from the competition. Yes. We’re absolutely serious. And we can’t do it without your help. We need thoughtful, talented, multi-faceted user experience designers who love empowering technology users with high quality interaction and visual design to bring their creative ideas and their hard work to join our team.

We are looking for an accomplished and visionary Principal UX designer , familiar with passionate about design systems, and interested in leading the evolution of components, patterns, and guidelines for Oracle’s Redwood Design System. This Designer will help us in shaping user-centered experiences that have a profound impact on the healthcare industry.

What you’ll do
At Oracle, we’re continuously building on our foundation of intelligent solutions for the healthcare industry. Our technologies connect people and systems worldwide, and our wide range of services support the clinical, financial, and operational needs of organizations of every size.

Our team is focused on reimagining healthcare applications to improve the user experience and ensure safe and effective use across roles and responsibilities. As a Lead Systems Designer within our team, you will have the unique opportunity of identifying and solving complex healthcare problems by collaborating closely with clinicians, developers, product management, and other UX associates. You will also be working to integrate automated and more intelligent processes through smarter and more responsive technologies, with AI and predictive analytics to help our users to store and access reliable information they need, within the right context.

Creating a new vision for the future of healthcare requires a powerful and flexible experience that works across many apps, across device types (such as mobile, desktop, IoT, and large displays) and that adjusts naturally and fluidly through different contexts. Yet our team isn’t just making it functional. We are making it beautiful. Imagine creating data visualizations and charts that are not only easy to understand but also works of art? We are changing the paradigms and making our customers fall in love with us one interaction at a time.

In this role, you will work alongside the best of designers, product managers and technologists to design solutions that organizations across the world use for their healthcare systems and operations. We are working on multiple ambitious new initiatives and your work will have direct impact on both the user experience and the industry as we work to redefine this space.

As a Principal Systems Designer, your tasks and responsibilities will include:

• Partner with product managers to drive the roadmap for new components.
• Collaborate with product design teams to understand user needs, problems, and goals across diverse use cases.
• Partner with researchers and data scientists to gain insight to drive and improve designs.
• Work with other component designers to ensure cohesion and deliver exceptional user experiences.
• Articulate guiding principles to ground and inspire ideation, prototyping, and exploration of various design solutions.
• Design components with ingenious microinteractions, that integrate with Oracle’s growing Redwood Design System, prioritize accessibility, and respond across desktop and mobile experiences.
• Create interaction specifications using language, diagrams, and prototypes to describe component usage, anatomy, behavior, and configuration with clarity and detail.
• Develop usage guidelines and training materials to help others learn and use the design system.
• Partner closely with engineering teams from design to hand off, and ensure components are implemented to specification.
• Contribute to design specifications and help evolve our design systems.
• Work closely with development team to ensure the designs are accurately implemented.
• Mentor junior designers on the team.

Required qualifications and traits

Here’s the kind of person we are looking for:

• You have 8+ years of experience – You have worked as a designer for at least 8 years, preferably, and have experience designing, building and delivering products.
• You’re a full stack user experience designer, with experience in creating design systems. You look at interaction design, visual design and aesthetics, typography, motion, 3D, human factors, and more as tools in the UX designer’s toolkit. You have worked to contribute to an enterprise Design System in the past.
• You thrive on working well with others. You make the people around you better. You love to collaborate with designers, user researchers, engineers, product managers, executives, and inspire them to do their best.
• You get stuff done.
• You’re a fantastic storyteller. You know that our products tell our customers a story through the user experience. You won’t rest until that story is a compelling one.
• You love rules and you know when to break them. You think systemically because you know that creating a coherent experience requires it. But you know when the system needs to expand to accommodate a user’s varied conceptual model. And you know when to do something completely unique to create an arresting and product-defining moment in the product that makes users ooh and aah.
• You don’t already know everything and you love to learn. You’re inspired by helping users solve their problems. You love finding out you’re wrong. You consume large amounts of quantitative and qualitative data to constantly refine your assumptions.
• And finally, you want to be part of creating dramatic and impactful change at a company that is committed to becoming a light unto others when it comes to user experience design. You might have learned your craft via formal training or via on-the-job training. For most candidates, it’s a combination of both. As long as you’ve got experience and passion doing this work at the highest level, we’d love to talk to you and see a portfolio of the work you’re most proud of.

Your application must include links to an online portfolio/have offline version attached.
