<p><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><strong>About Nanit: </strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Nanit is moving families beyond overwhelm by transforming how parents understand their baby's early years. We combine advanced AI, real-world data from billions of sleep hours, and clinical expertise to deliver the clarity and confidence every parent deserves. Trusted by over one million families and backed by $125M in funding, we're building an entirely new category: predictive parenting intelligence.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Here, your work directly impacts millions of families. Our team of scientists, engineers, and parents is small but mighty - we share a mission to make early childhood easier, healthier, and more connected. If you want to work on technology that genuinely matters, join us.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><strong>About the Role:</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Nanit is seeking a visionary design leader to define the next chapter of the Nanit experience across mobile software, connected hardware, AI-powered experiences, subscriptions and entirely new product categories. This is not a role focused on executing an existing roadmap. Design will play a defining role in what comes next. This leader will partner closely with Product, Engineering, Hardware, Clinical and Marketing to imagine the future, make those possibilities tangible and shape what Nanit chooses to build. Nanit sits at a unique intersection of technology and emotion. Parents turn to Nanit in moments of curiosity, joy, uncertainty and concern. The opportunity is to translate sophisticated technology, data and intelligence into experiences that feel deeply human, earn trust and help families feel more confident. This leader will establish a distinctive design point of view for Nanit and build the team and standards to bring it to life. </span></p>
