The global population is aging, and the need for home care is growing each year. Unfortunately, at a time when care is needed more than ever, the home care industry is facing a crisis – a shortage of care workers.

When caregivers feel valued, recognized, and financially secure, they stay longer, deliver better care, and strengthen our communities.

Caribou is building the engagement infrastructure for the home care workforce and the agentic layer for home care operations. Our platform interfaces with office staff and front-line caregivers to facilitate meaningful recognition, stronger relationships, and operational efficiency.

Caribou was recently recognized as one of The Globe and Mail's Top Growing Companies – #4 in technology – and we're just getting started. Join us as we transform how care organizations recognize and retain the people who make care possible.

As our Senior Product Designer , your job is to make every interaction with Caribou feel simple, intuitive and worth coming back to. Whether someone is picking up an open shift, earning a reward, managing their workforce or interacting with one of our voice agents, they shouldn’t need training or a support call to figure out what to do next.

You’ll be the senior designer on a small, highly collaborative product team, partnering closely with Product, Engineering and Customer Success. You’ll shape experiences across web, mobile, SMS, push and voice , while helping establish the design quality bar across our products.

Design journeys that span individual features and channels, from a caregiver discovering an open shift to working it and getting rewarded, or a coordinator posting a shift to seeing it filled. Help us rethink how points, recognition, challenges, personalization and other engagement loops can motivate caregivers and bring them back. You’ll prototype ideas,



test them with real users and use data to understand what deserves to scale

Build a regular research cadence with caregivers and coordinators through interviews, usability testing, call listening and other methods. Our product design quality bar. Define what 'simple enough' means in practice, check flows against it before they ship, and sweat the details and help the team recognize when something needs another iteration

Our design system. Evolve a design system that makes it easier, not harder, for stakeholders to build consistent, high quality experiences quickly

A key caregiver or coordinator journey you’ve redesigned is easier to complete, with product data showing measurable improvement

Nothing ships without passing the quality bar you defined

At least one voice or conversational experience you’ve helped redesign is live, with real interactions helping us iterate on it
