  • Visual design: build high-fidelity designs within our design system, ready to hand off to engineering

Requirements

  • Demonstrated experience across UX research, interaction design, and visual design (portfolio or work samples required)
  • Experience designing and researching UX appropriate for children, teens, and families (age-appropriate methods, assent/consent, safeguarding)
  • Fluency with standard research methods and knowing when to use which
  • Ability to work independently and translate ambiguity into structured deliverables
  • Ability to execute visual design within an established design system, producing polished, on-brand screens
  • Proficiency in Figma, including working with components and design systems (flows, wireframes, and higher-fidelity screens)
  • Comfortable working in a remote, cross-functional team
  • 5+ years experience
