Role overview
Are you a senior designer who wants to shape how a complex clinical platform evolves across genomics, oncology, imaging, and real-world data?
Join our Platform Design & Innovation team to own cross-cutting design problems across SOPHiA DDM™: a multimodal platform serving geneticists, pathologists, oncologists, bioinformaticians, and pharma researchers in one of the most consequential domains in healthcare.
You'll design for expert users operating under clinical pressure, not for consumer simplicity, and your work will directly influence what gets built across variant interpretation, oncology decision support, radiomics, and research data access.

What the company offers
- You will have direct input to our mission to democratize data-driven medicine for the ultimate benefit of cancer and rare disease patients across the globe. Your Mission
Application process
- The Platform Design & Innovation (PDI) is the team responsible for how DDM evolves as a platform: cross-cutting design patterns, the design system, high-value product initiatives, and the translation of complex clinical requirements into coherent product experiences across all application teams.
- This is not a role for someone whose strength is visual polish.
- It is a role for a designer who thinks in workflows and mental models, who holds product judgment conversations with engineering and PM, and who produces work that changes what gets built. The value you bring:
- Work at expert-user depth - across diverse user groups
- Conduct research with users across the platform’s range: genomics experts operating at high information density (geneticists, pathologists, bioinformaticians), oncologists and clinicians using Carepath for treatment decision support, and pharma researchers accessing real-world data through DataHub.
- These are not the same user; designing well for each without fragmenting the platform is the hard problem.
- Design for appropriate complexity, not for consumer simplicity.
- Expert users read variant tables and imaging reports under clinical pressure; pharma researchers need research-grade data access with audit controls; oncologists need actionable summaries without losing access to underlying evidence.
Additional details
- Enjoy the flexibility of a hybrid work schedule allowing 2 days PW home working, collaborating closely with colleagues in our Rolle, CH or Bidart, FR corporate office.
- You will have direct input to our mission to democratize data-driven medicine for the ultimate benefit of cancer and rare disease patients across the globe.
- It is a role for a designer who thinks in workflows and mental models, who holds product judgment conversations with engineering and PM, and who produces work that changes what gets built. The value you bring:
- Balance clinical workflow fidelity with IVD regulatory constraints: traceability, audit trail, accessibility, and the interaction patterns that survive regulatory review. Own cross-platform design problems
- Govern and evolve the DDM design system in collaboration with engineering: component usage, token standards, interaction primitives, and the documentation that makes the system usable across teams. Prototype and validate
- That requires earning trust with POs and PMs who have their own roadmaps and priorities, and shaping shared vision without direct authority. Grow towards team leadership
