Visual Designer, Verily Life Sciences

Verily Life Sciences is focused on shifting health care from a reactive, undifferentiated approach to a proactive, targeted approach by transforming the detection, prevention, management and even our basic understanding of disease.

At Verily, we believe that all of our products should be beautiful, accessible, informative, and engaging. As a Visual Designer, you are a creative individual contributor and leader with a portfolio of highly crafted brand identity work, visual systems, and product experiences for iconic brands.

You’ll collaborate with the larger Verily UX team, hardware and software engineers, and product managers, to refine the Verily design language and create innovative, great-looking products that help move healthcare from reactive to proactive.

In addition to doing hands on visual design work, you will also be working on more strategic initiatives, such as refining the brand strategy for Verily products (including products co-branded with partners) and defining a cohesive Verily-wide visual design language with our industrial and UX designers.

Combining expertise from the fields of biology, chemistry, physics, medicine, electrical engineering, computer science, we’re developing new technology tools for physicians that can integrate easily into daily life and help transform the detection, prevention, and management of disease.
