Design Lead

Outlive is translating the principles of Medicine 3.0 into a practical, evidence-based product that helps people change the trajectory of their health. We focus on what matters most. Setting meaningful long-term goals, understanding the risks that can get in the way, and selecting the tactics that move the needle. Our approach is grounded in the ideas Peter Attia has spent his career developing. A deliberate practice with clear metrics and truly personalized plans that extend healthspan, not just lifespan.

We’re building a system that takes the essential pillars of long-term health and makes them actionable. Our goal is simple. Give people a structured way to understand where they are today, what levers truly matter, and how to make durable progress over time.

Why Outlive

• You will shape the foundation, not optimize at the margins
• Science and design sit at the center of everything
• AI is part of how we work
• We care about rigor, honesty, and high standards

About the Role

We’re hiring a Design Lead who will own the entire Outlive product experience end-to-end. This is a foundational design role, very hands-on, deeply craft-driven, and essential to shaping the future of Medicine 3.0 in digital form.

This is not a “brand designer” or a design manager who floats above the work. This is the person who creates the work.

This role exists because:
- Outlive requires a designer who can translate extremely complex medical, behavioral, and scientific concepts into intuitive, elegant user experiences.
- We need a design leader who can shape visual systems, interaction patterns, and the emotional journey of the user — across iOS, web, and future surfaces.
- Our founders operate with high abstraction and rapid ideation; we need someone who can take abstract feedback (“this feels flat,” “this should feel more meaningful”) and turn it into precise, beautiful design decisions.
- As a zero-to-one product, Outlive needs someone who can build a design system from scratch, collaborate closely with engineering, and establish a design culture that sets the bar for years to come.

You will define the visual and interaction language of Outlive and build the systems that allow it to scale.

How the Role Will Evolve

Build (first 90 days)

• Absorb the existing Figma files, product flows, and scientific frameworks.
• Extend Outlive’s design language including typography, color, spacing, motion, and interaction philosophy.
• Rebuild early designs as needed to meet a premium aesthetic and usability bar.

Operate (post-launch readiness)

• Ship weekly product design across features, modules, and surfaces.
• Partner closely with Product and Engineering to scope, refine, and deliver features.
• Create intuitive, behaviorally-aware flows that bring Medicine 3.0 to life.
• Maintain high-quality handoff, documentation, and interaction fidelity.

Scale & Reiterate (ongoing)

• Build the rituals and standards that define Outlive’s design culture.
• Collaborate with scientific advisors to convert insights into UI and interactions.
• Participate in roadmap development and contribute to product strategic direction.
• Eventually help hire and mentor future designers as the team expands.

• Work closely with the Product Team, CEO, and engineering leaders.
• Collaborate with scientific advisors and behavioral experts to integrate insights.
• Participate in product roadmap discussions, prioritization, and strategic decisions.
• Influence engineering workflows through clear documentation, prototypes, and collaboration.

Design Culture & Leadership

• Set and maintain an exceptionally high craft bar.
• Build rituals: critiques, reviews, prototyping cycles, and design standups.
• Help hire and mentor future designers as we scale.
