We’re a small, high-output team, mostly former founders including YC alumni, and we operate with real autonomy and almost no bureaucracy. We hire on competence, not pedigree. Leaders are in the office six days a week, and we generally expect the team to be available six days a week too. Not because we count hours, but because there’s always more wood to chop when revolutionizing how tomorrow’s healthcare providers deliver care to their patients today. We trust our team to take the time off they need and we’ve never said no to a time off request.
You have an entrepreneurial mindset and a strong sense of ownership. You don’t wait to be told what’s broken. Instead, you believe you can figure out any problem that lands in your lap even outside your exact domain. When someone scopes something for three weeks, you ask why it can’t be done in three days, and you also know the difference between shipping a fast v0 and cutting a corner that comes back to bite you. You walk the tightrope between craft and speed without falling off either side.
As a Design Engineer at Metriport, you’ll spend your time understanding customer workflows, designing the best solution to those problems, and implementing your own designs. If you’re someone who is excited by broad ownership and making consequential decisions — while taking on work that others might consider way too much — you might be a good fit.
At Metriport we think of design like a rough-hewn yet elegant table: does its job, looks right in the room, built to last, and finished. You’ll bring that sensibility to everything — knowing when a design decision needs more thought and when it needs to ship.
We strongly believe in the 80/20 rule here, and rely on everyone joining our team to use it so that we can ship fast, and continue to delight our users!
