Product Designer

About Teton On a night shift, three carers can be responsible for a hundred residents, each behind a closed door. Teton tells them what’s going on in every room, so they know who to check on first. We put a sensor in the ceiling of each room: an infrared camera wired to a small computer. The computer turns what the sensor sees into facts, like who is in bed, how fast someone is breathing, or whether someone has fallen. We train one model in our office and copy it to every device, so every site improves at once. Staff get the facts through a mobile app on the floor, a desktop app for leaders and planning, and a screen on the wall. Around that sits the service: installation, onboarding, training, and a support chat any member of staff can use. Around 10,000 care staff use Teton in care homes and hospitals in the US, Denmark, the UK, and Switzerland. Many of the falls we help prevent come from staff seeing what’s going on and planning their shift around it, rather than from alarms. The Role You’ll design the apps care staff use every day, from the alarm a carer hears in the corridor to the overview a regional leader uses for every home they cover. You’ll report to Julius, who leads design, work alongside Balazs, our other product designer, and build directly with our engineers. You’ll work with the AI team that trains our models and the engineers who run them at the edge, on what the models can see and how it reaches staff. Few product design jobs sit this close to the technology. Most of our users are floor staff, and many are new or temporary. Most never go deeper into the app than reacting when something happens, so it can’t have a learning curve. A smaller group of leaders, nurses and physiotherapists dig into the data, and the same product has to serve both. What you’ll work on:

• Agency with oversight. Good results only come from staff actually engaging with the product. To do this you have to design a product that gives accountability and agency to staff, whilst still giving the oversight to the leadership. It's a tricky balance to create for each workflow.
• The same facts at every level. A night carer can finish a shift thinking it went well, then hear from a manager about a problem that was only visible on an executive’s dashboard. Everyone has to have a shared understanding of a community and how its running, at the level of detail their job needs.
• Health data people can read. We track sleep, breathing, movement and more for every resident, but most staff aren’t used to reading a respiration trend. The design challenge is making this information tractable and showing it in the right place at the right time.

What We’re Looking For

• 4+ years designing software people use daily, ideally a product that had to stay coherent as it grew.
• Precision. You structure things well: information architecture, states, edge cases, components. You can say exactly what a design does and why.
• You go and see. You’ll travel to customers in Denmark, the UK and the US, sometimes for a night shift. You look forward to it, and what you see changes your designs.
• You learn how the technology works. Some things are hard for any sensor to tell apart, like a visitor and a member of staff. You find out where those limits are and design with them in mind.
• You help define the problem. When a brief is unclear, you work it out with engineers and product instead of waiting, then pick what it needs: a site visit, a prototype, or just building it.
• You prototype in code. We expect it, and beyond that you can work however you like. If you can also ship front-end work in React or our component library, even better.

What we offer

• Competitive Salary and participation in our warrant program.
• Work with state-of-the-art technology in a pioneering field.
• A vibrant, learning-focused work environment.

What It’s Like Working at Teton We’re a growing team of extremely hard-working and talented people. The learning curves are steep, and expanding your skill set is not just encouraged — it’s expected. It’s a hands-on environment where you’ll be challenged, supported, and constantly learning. We are looking for people who believe in our long-term vision and value ownership and entrepreneurship rather than just another 9-5 job. With us you will have an opportunity to truly make an impact on the world with the outcomes of your work. So, if you are looking for a ride and not just a job – jump on board 😊 How to Apply Please make sure to include a link to your portfolio or personal website in your application. We’d also love to see one project where something you observed first-hand changed what you designed.
