• Translate complex gut health and body data into intuitive visuals such as charts and ring diagrams that simplify user understanding.
• Develop the complete web experience including suna.health, onboarding processes, and user account management ensuring parity with the app.

Candidate Profile

• Highly autonomous with a proactive mindset to identify and complete necessary tasks without guidance.
• Proven ability to ship interfaces that real users engage with, supported by a portfolio or live examples beyond basic resumes.
• Comfortable operating in both design software like Figma and coding environments to build what you design.
• Attention to design details with a personal standard for perfection in flow and visual spacing.
• Utilizes AI tools such as Claude or Cursor efficiently to enhance daily work processes.
• Adaptable to the inherent challenges of early-stage consumer hardware and capable of making decisions with limited information.
• Committed to long-term mission-driven work rather than frequent job changes.

Preferred Extras

• Creates original projects beyond requirements such as custom fonts, games, or innovative tools.
• Maintains a personal website that showcases experimental design or technical play.
• Has an artistic eye through hobbies like drawing, photography, film, or music.
• Brings fresh interface ideas not previously seen by the team.
• Experience with wearables such as Oura or WHOOP or recognized beautiful apps.
• Engages in biohacking or has deep interest in niche areas.
• Approaches work with resourcefulness and scrappiness by default.

Disqualifiers

• No genuine interest in health technology.
• High-maintenance personality.
• History of frequent job changes.
• Motivated by fame or vanity metrics over the company's mission.
