Who we are

Jellyvision is known for ALEX®, the market-leading employee decision support platform that has earned the company thousands of customers, millions of users, and more than $600m in lifetime sales, profitably. While we’re so grateful for our success in the employee market to date, we have big ambitions to help those transitioning from employer sponsored care into the world of Medicare. Accordingly, a small team has been tasked with designing, developing, and iterating on a platform that will be the go-to resource for Medicare beneficiaries, reducing decision-making stress, increasing satisfaction with plan choices, and ultimately improving health outcomes by guiding users to the best possible coverage for their health, lifestyle, and financial well-being.

Because this initiative is in incubation stage, we need team members who are:

  • Scrappy, resilient figure-it-outters and comfortable with ambiguity.
  • Deeply market and customer obsessed; every interaction is an opportunity to learn, improve, and better serve beneficiaries.
  • Excellent communicators and collaborators who work with others to do what needs to be done, often wearing multiple hats as people in startups tend to do.
  • Champions of progress over process.

Here are some values that are front and center in all that we do:

GUIDING PRINCIPLES

  1. Simplicity and Clarity at the Core: Transform the often overwhelming and confusing world of Medicare into an intuitive, user-friendly experience that breaks down complex terms and options into clear, actionable steps.
  2. Personalization for All: Recognize the unique needs of each beneficiary by delivering tailored advice that considers their health status, financial situation, and lifestyle, ensuring they choose the Medicare plan that best fits their individual circumstances.
  3. Trustworthy Guidance: Serve as a reliable source of information, leveraging up-to-date data and expert insights to ensure that beneficiaries are making decisions based on accurate, relevant, and unbiased information. When we have limitations, we name them.  When there’s ambiguity in a choice for a user, we make sure they know it. And we play no favorites with any vendor in the ecosystem. We serve the user and the user alone.
  4. Empathy and Support: Understand the emotional and psychological aspects of making healthcare decisions, offering compassionate support that helps alleviate anxiety and build confidence during the decision-making process. We speak to “you,” our user, and bring personality, humility, humanity, and honesty into every word we share.
  5. Continuous Innovation: Stay ahead of the curve by continuously improving, integrating feedback from users, and adopting new technologies and methodologies to enhance the user experience and ensure the tool remains relevant in an ever-evolving healthcare landscape.
  6. Joy. (Or at least a healthy sense of humor) in service of our users and colleagues alike.

What’s the role?

We’re looking for a front-end powerhouse with a broad range of design expertise and a passion for innovation to help us bring our Medicare product to life.

We’re a team of bridge builders who believe that storytelling and evangelizing are critical parts of the creative process. 

The UX Engineer partners with our cross-functional product team to understand business and user goals, from ideation through execution. As an advocate for the user, you’ll be integral throughout the entire product lifecycle to ensure our users can confidently and successfully choose the right Medicare coverage for them.

What you’ll do to be successful

  • Translate mockups and prototypes into responsive and interactive UI components and clean, efficient code using modern frameworks that work seamlessly across different devices and screen sizes.
  • Make decisive design choices and be able to articulate those choices to team members and stakeholders.

Success will be measured by internal and external stakeholder feedback, research and user testing, and product success metrics.

2) Collaborate with a small cross-functional team throughout all stages of development

  • Drive the development of the user experience through collaborative ideation and brainstorming.
  • Partner with our Writer, Visual Designer, and Developers to align the UI with hosted script, copy, animations, and data integration.
  • Collaborate with our Visual Designer to leverage and improve our design system.
  • Embed with Developers to ensure the quality of UX and UI throughout planning, execution, QA, and deploys.
  • Ensure cross-browser and cross-platform compatibility of the UI, testing and troubleshooting issues as they arise.
  • Openly give and take constructive feedback, incorporating revisions with minimal oversight.

Success will be measured by rework/revision time, work completed on time and on budget.

3) Embrace innovation, exploring new tools and technology to enhance the user experience

  • Be willing to go deep, embracing the technical nature of our products and leveraging data-driven design.
  • Understand the capabilities of nonlinear animation tools like Rive used by our Visual Designer to drive a richer visual experience.
  • Explore new tools and techniques to ethically evolve the user experience and human-AI interaction patterns to be as seamless and personalized as possible.
  • Be familiar with and curious about AI tools and strategies, staying current on their strengths and weaknesses, and how they can be applied to the design process.

Success will be measured by internal and external stakeholder feedback, research and user testing, and product success metrics.

Whatever your decision, it will not be considered in the hiring process or thereafter. Any information that you do provide will be recorded and maintained in a confidential file.

As set forth in Jellyvision’s Equal Employment Opportunity policy, we do not discriminate on the basis of any protected group status under any applicable law.

Race & Ethnicity Definitions

If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed below, please indicate by making the appropriate selection. As a government contractor subject to the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA), we request this information in order to measure the effectiveness of the outreach and positive recruitment efforts we undertake pursuant to VEVRAA. Classification of protected categories is as follows:

A "disabled veteran" is one of the following: a veteran of the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service who is entitled to compensation (or who but for the receipt of military retired pay would be entitled to compensation) under laws administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs; or a person who was discharged or released from active duty because of a service-connected disability.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
