About the position
We're building a dedicated team of formally trained medical illustrators and
animators — a new function at BioRender that will serve as the company's subject
matter experts on scientific visual communication. This team will have direct
impact across product, marketing, sales, and education, and will own the quality
standard for how science is represented across everything we build.
This is not a production role. You'll be expected to think critically about how
science is represented visually, contribute perspective on product and design
decisions, and set the bar for what scientists see when they use BioRender.
Responsibilities
• 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
Requirements
• 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
Benefits
• Competitive salary and equity
• Opportunity to define a new function at a high-growth company
