About this role

About Us

Red Cell Partners is an incubation firm building and investing in rapidly scalable technology-led companies that are bringing revolutionary advancements to market in three distinct practice areas: healthcare, cyber, and national security. United by a shared sense of duty and deep belief in the power of innovation, Red Cell is developing powerful tools and solutions to address our Nation’s most pressing problems.

About the Role:

We are seeking a Lead UX/UI Engineer to lead the design and front-end experience of products across Red Cell and its portfolio companies. This is a highly hands-on role for someone who excels at translating complex ideas into intuitive, beautiful, and scalable digital experiences while also bringing those experiences to life through modern front-end development.

This is not a traditional design role. You'll operate at the intersection of product design, engineering, and AI – partnering closely with founders, product leaders, and engineers to rapidly prototype, build, and ship products from concept to production. You'll be expected to move fluidly between user research, interaction design, high-fidelity UI, front-end implementation, and AI-assisted development.

Product experience is a core operating capability at Red Cell. You'll help shape products, companies, and brands from inception through growth by creating experiences that are both technically sound and thoughtfully designed.

This role will also dedicate up to 25% of time supporting Red Cell's Marketing, Brand, and Communications team through web development and implementation for Red Cell Partners and its incubation companies' digital presence.

At Red Cell, we firmly believe that a shared design system that bridges traditional brand guidelines and component libraries drives meaningful value. This role will partner closely with marketing and design to seamlessly integrate brand (visual and story telling) with product usability and experience.

This is a remote role with travel expected for bi-annual All Hands and occasional team meetings (~10% or less).

What You Will Do:

• Partner closely with founders, product managers, engineers, and leadership to transform ambiguous problem spaces into intuitive product experiences.
