Medical Illustrator / Animator

About BioRender

About This Role

What You'll Work On

• Motion graphics and animation for feature launches, product marketing, social media, and sales enablement
• Scientific figures, templates, and visual content that define BioRender's quality standard
• Live product demos for sales calls, conferences, and webinars — building figures in real time while articulating the design reasoning behind them
• Educational content including tutorials, learning modules, and onboarding materials for researchers at every level
• Icon design and visual systems — creating new icons, defining style direction, and maintaining quality during library-wide updates
• Visual QA and scientific accuracy reviews across templates, AI-generated outputs, and library content
• Identifying patterns in how scientists build figures — breaking down what makes a great figure in each discipline so we can standardize and productize that knowledge, making it easier for every researcher to create work they're proud of
• Contributing to product decisions where illustration expertise matters — including how AI-generated scientific visuals should look and behave

What We're Looking For

• Graduate degree in Medical Illustration, Biomedical Visualization, or a closely related program
• Strong foundation in anatomy, molecular biology, or a relevant scientific discipline
• Demonstrated skill in both static illustration and motion graphics / animation
• Ability to look at a scientific figure and know whether it tells the right story — not just whether it's technically correct
• A formed point of view on design decisions, with the ability to articulate your reasoning
• Instinct for how a scientist or researcher would perceive and use visual content — you think like the audience before the audience thinks
• Comfort with ambiguity — you can break down a problem you've never seen and find an approach without a playbook
• Ability to explain complex visual and scientific concepts to non-experts clearly and compellingly

What Makes This Role Unique

Details

• Remote-first, with the team coming together in person at least once per quarter
