We're a healthcare logistics company partnering with organizations nationwide to transport vital medical supplies and specimens. At MedSpeed, teamwork, integrity, and growth drive everything we do. If you're passionate, driven, and ready to make a real impact, we want to hear from you. Today, we have a nationwide presence with locations across the U.S., yet we've never lost the entrepreneurial spirit and close-knit culture that defined us from day one. Our people are at the heart of what we do and how we support our customers. We work as one team, we keep our promises, and we get better every day. These aren't just words; they shape how we support each other, grow together, and deliver real impact. The UX/UI Designer will lead the UX design of our Driver facing solutions. This hands-on role focuses on creating clear, intuitive, and professional user experiences that simplify complex order fulfillment for all market segments for our employed Drivers and also outside couriers and courier partners. Partnering closely with Product and Engineering, the designer will translate user needs into thoughtful UX experiences and polished, production-ready UI designs. How You Will Contribute UX & interaction design * Design end-to-end Driver applications (web and mobile) for MedSpeed employees, outside couriers, and courier vendor partners. * Map real routes and stops to find friction, remove taps, decisions, and cognitive load from tasks drivers repeat hundreds of times a day. * Move from wireframes to clickable Figma prototypes fast enough to test ideas before they're expensive. * Design for the unglamorous cases that decide whether software works in the field: offline states, failed scans, wrong addresses, partial pickups, error recovery. * Deliver production-ready UI and annotated specs Engineering can build from without a follow-up meeting. Visual design & design system * Produce high-fidelity designs for responsive web and native mobile, which is primarily Android, with an eye toward iOS conventions where relevant. * Apply hierarchy, typography, spacing, and contrast so critical information is legible at a glance, at arm's length, in bad lighting. * Modernize the interface while staying true to MedSpeed brand guidelines. * Build and maintain a lightweight design system with reusable components and documentation that keep quality high as the product grows. Collaboration * Partner with the CPTO and Product Leads to understand intent and business objectives before pixels exist. * Join discovery early to make sure we're solving the right problem and push back when we're not. * Work directly with Tech Leads on feasibility, then stay involved through refinement, sprint planning, design QA, and release. * Represent the driver's reality in product debates while respecting business and technical constraints. Continuous improvement * Use analytics, usage patterns, and frontline feedback from support and operations to find where the experience breaks down. * Propose changes that measurably reduce training time, support tickets, and time per stop. * Keep simplifying as the product grows. Complexity accumulates unless someone actively fights it. ## Related Videos - [The What, Why, Who and How of accessibility on the web](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/403-the-what-why-who-and-how-of-accessibility-on-the-web) - [Boost Productivity with AI: Figma & Playwright MCP Workflows - Aris Markogiannakis](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1768-boost-productivity-with-ai-figma-playwright-mcp-workflows-aris-markogiannakis) - [Building a component library for modern challenges](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/650-building-a-component-library-for-modern-challenges) - [UX is a fullstack job!](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1020-ux-is-a-fullstack-job) - [Fireside Chat with Kris Rasmussen, CTO at Figma](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/982-fireside-chat-with-kris-rasmussen-cto-at-figma) - [Bridging the Gap](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/794-bridging-the-gap) ## Related Articles - [How Developers Can Focus on Maintaining Satisfaction With Accessibility](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/109-how-developers-can-focus-on-maintaining-satisfaction-with-accessibility) - [16 Best Free React UI Libraries in 2025](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/148-16-best-free-react-ui-libraries-in-2025) - [The future is here: How artificial intelligence is influencing UX design](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/65-the-future-is-here-how-artificial-intelligence-is-influencing-ux-design) - [Top 5 Web Design Trends for 2023](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/155-top-5-web-design-trends-for-2023) - [Top 7 CSS Frameworks in 2025](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/362-top-7-css-frameworks-in-2025) - [Dev Digest 133 - Back to Front](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/474-dev-digest-133-back-to-front)
