Field designs and builds innovative solutions for improving child survival and access to health care in several African countries. Our small team works from Berlin, Germany and Abuja, Nigeria. We’re looking for engaged people to work with us on the software tools which power our projects. We believe that only diverse teams can build strong solutions to the often wicked problems that health systems in emerging contexts face. We believe people matter the most - those we work with and that we work for. We believe in the power of careful design, incorrigible curiosity, and respect for the challenges and contexts we engage to produce solutions that generate real, lasting value for the people and programs we serve.
We’re looking for a UI/UX designer to drive visual and interaction development of a family of desktop and mobile products for users across Africa and Asia, helping strengthen health systems and save lives. You’ll work with diverse teams to investigate problems, and design, mockup and implement interfaces for workflow support tools, data visualization, and information management.
Your job will be to translate high-level requirements into user-friendly interaction flows and intuitive, functional workflows, as well as design mockup and implement interfaces for navigating complex information. You will be a key contributor to the visual design of this product family, working closely with our business, operations, and health-systems experts, engineers, and users to develop the interfaces that translate best practices into appealing, intuitive, and valuable user experiences.
Ultimately we need you to help us push the boundaries of UI/UX and make mobile a tool for social and economic empowerment. This is intended to be a full-time position.
