August Health | Product Designer | San Francisco or REMOTE (USA for now) | Full time
We're working on a new company to improve how people age in our country.
A demographic "perfect storm" is brewing over the next 25 years: (1) the 80+ population will double to more than 30 million people, (2) the family caregiver ratio will almost cut in half (and is further hurt as more children move away from their parents), and (3) as life expectancy rises, people are living for years with complex health issues and disability.
And annual long term care costs are about $400 billion today. Our goal is to make a significant difference in care quality for elders and put a dent in healthcare costs in the country.
>> We are looking for a full-time product designer as one of our earliest full time hires. The right fit is an end-to-end product designer who can span user-research to full resolution mocks - a longer job description is at augusthealth.com
Prior to this, we cofounded and sold a big-data mapping company, Mapsense, to Apple. Our team of 7 has a strong technical background and also includes a physician with years of experience with geriatric patients. We recently raised a round of financing from tier-1 VCs.
The first few hires for a company set the engineering practices, philosophy, culture for the future - and we are looking for people who are excited by these parts of company building in addition to the technical parts.
- ishwarn 6y agoI don't work at August Health, but I want to chime in and say that Erez and team are building something really exciting here. I'd reach out if you're looking for something mission driven with passionate founders.
