What are the responsibilities and job description for the Product Designer position at January?
January AI:
Founded by veteran business executive Noosheen Hashemi and Director of Genomics and Personalized Medicine at Stanford University, Dr. Michael Snyder, January AI is a “precision health” company that helps users develop better eating habits with an AI Nutritionist and predicts an individual's blood sugar response to food without relying on hardware.
We help you understand your personal metabolic health, i.e. how your body metabolizes food, and make simple changes to avoid serious health issues down the road. The need for this has never been greater: 1 in 3 adults in the US are now pre-diabetic, and 80% are not even aware of it. January’s app gives you immediate insights on your diet and blood sugar levels, and provides personalized recommendations on how to adjust your diet and activity to improve your overall metabolic wellbeing.
At January AI, we believe that every day is January 1st, that every day is a fresh start. We believe that health isn’t a place you reach, but the simple process of understanding your body and doing just a little better than yesterday.
January AI is backed by Marc Benioff (CEO and founder of Salesforce), Jerry Yang (founder of Yahoo), and Steve Chen (founder of YouTube), among others.
