Product Designer (UX/UI) - Fully remote, anywhere in Europe

Worldwide, 1 in 7 people suffer from cancer or rare diseases. The key to developing more precise drugs faster is to access the millions of clinical and genomics data which are available worldwide. With big data, usability is paramount but current platforms fail to provide the best-in-class UX needed to generate insights. As our Head of UX puts it:

“Life sciences is the next industry to undergo a UX revolution. Lifebit is pioneering this revolution by becoming for life sciences what Apple is for technology, the go-to place for best-in-class UX” ~ Shane Fadden, Head of Product Design, Lifebit

About Lifebit

Generating large amounts of biomedical data has become relatively straightforward. The challenge now is finding, accessing and analysing this sensitive data stored across thousands of disconnected locations. It is frustrating and painfully difficult for researchers.

At Lifebit, we carve our own path. Trusted by Governments and world-leading pharma institutions and funded with over $70m we are on a mission to harness the power of connected data and bring precision medicine to life globally.

Lifebit has created a patented, federated technology that brings analysis and computation to where data resides. This enables researchers to run analyses on multiple, distributed datasets in-situ, avoiding the risky movement of highly-sensitive data.

Lifebit powers pioneers in national precision medicine such as Genomics England (UK Government) and the Hong Kong Genome Project and guides them on how to make their valuable data usable, securely. Biotech and pharmaceutical leaders like Boehringer Ingelheim turn to Lifebit to connect them to this otherwise locked up data to obtain novel therapeutic insights.

Our technology is unmatched and momentum is on our side - but we need an exceptionally strong team to help boost Lifebit to incredible new heights.

If you share our commitment to open source, bioinformatics, big data, machine learning and AI, we want to hear from you today.

Lifebit is on the cutting edge of the biotechnology revolution. In September 2021 we closed a $60m Series B funding round led by Tiger Global Management, with participation from existing investors Eurazeo, Pentech Ventures, and Beacon Capital.

Based in London, UK and with a presence in Europe, North America and Asia, Lifebit continues its global expansion, with each person empowered and involved in every aspect of the business.
