Staff/Principal Product Designer (HHS)

At Skylight, product designers advocate for users, uncover opportunities, and turn insights into designs that improve how government delivers services. They work end-to-end, from research and concepts through implementation, ensuring services are usable, accessible, and sustainable.

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is launching one of the most ambitious transformations in government — and this is a rare chance to be part of it. You'll join a high-impact team of product managers, researchers, designers, engineers, and security experts working side-by-side with HHS leadership to modernize the systems people rely on to access healthcare, strengthen cybersecurity that protects personal data, launch digital services used by tens of millions every day, and integrate data and AI responsibly into daily work across the department so teams at every level can make smarter, safer decisions.

As a product designer on this project, you'll collaborate across disciplines to research user needs, define flows and interactions, and design accessible interfaces that scale. You'll contribute to and evolve design systems, prototype ideas to reduce risk, and ensure design decisions are grounded in evidence. Just as importantly, you'll prepare federal teams to sustain these improvements by sharing knowledge and practices that last — from training and enablement to reusable tools like templates, playbooks, and decision records.
