## Job description

### **📌 About Alpaca Health**

**Alpaca Health enables clinicians to become entrepreneurs, starting in autism care.**

We help clinicians launch and scale their own clinics by providing AI-powered software, payer contracting, and full back-office infrastructure. Our goal is simple: shift power in healthcare away from large consolidated entities and back to clinicians.

We've raised over $14M in funding from early-stage investors like Core Innovation Capital, Adverb Ventures, and South Park Commons, and are building for long-term category leadership. More importantly, we're serving hundreds of patients, while growing 30% MoM.

**This role is full-time. We’re looking for candidates based in NYC or open to relocating who are open to 5 days a week in the office.**

  

### 🎯 Role: Founding Product Designer

As our Founding Product Designer, you’ll take full ownership of the 0→1 build of our parent-facing experience — turning a fragmented, complex journey into something simple, clear, and trustworthy for families.

At the same time, you’ll lead a design overhaul of our provider-facing product, transforming a feature-rich but traditional EHR into a fast, intuitive, consumer-grade experience clinicians actually enjoy using.

You’ll work across both surfaces to create a cohesive system that balances clinical depth with usability, setting the design foundation for how care is delivered at scale.

### 🚧 What You’ll Do

-   Own the 0→1 build of our parent-facing portal — from concept to live product
    
-   Design a seamless, consumer-grade experience for families navigating care (intake, scheduling, communication, payments)
    
-   Elevate our provider-facing EHR to feel intuitive, fast, and delightful — not clunky healthcare software
    
-   Conduct user interviews with parents, BCBAs, and staff to deeply understand workflows, pain points, and unmet needs
    
-   Rapidly prototype and test user flows; iterate based on real usage and feedback
    
-   Define product requirements, prioritize ruthlessly, and ship quickly alongside engineering
    
-   Use AI tools (e.g., prototyping, workflow automation, copilots) to accelerate development and unlock new product capabilities
    
-   Build systems that scale — not just features — including onboarding flows, engagement loops, and operational tooling
    
-   Partner cross-functionally with ops, clinical, and growth teams to ensure product drives real outcomes (faster start of care, better retention, higher utilization)
    

  

### 🧠 Who You Are

-   You are extremely **product-minded and execution-driven** — you don’t just define features, you build and ship
    
-   You have a strong intuition for **consumer products** and can bring that bar into healthcare
    
-   You’re comfortable in ambiguity and energized by **0→1 environments**
    
-   You talk to users constantly and turn insights into product decisions
    
-   You have a bias for action and move fast without sacrificing quality
    
-   You are fluent with modern **AI tools** and use them as a force multiplier in your workflow
    
-   You care deeply about building products that actually improve people’s lives, not just internal tools
    
-   You operate like an owner and hold a high bar for both yourself and the team
    

  

### **🚀 Why Join**

-   Direct exposure to company-building at an early stage.
    
-   Real ownership of critical initiatives from day one.
    
-   The opportunity to materially impact families and clinicians.
    
-   A fast learning curve that few roles can match.
    
-   Strong compensation package
