Product Designer

About the Role

This is a high-impact design role at a fast-growing AI-powered learning platform used by tens of millions of students globally. You'll sit at the center of product development, working closely with engineering and senior leadership to shape AI-native experiences that raise the bar for what education software can feel like.

What You'll Do

  • Own entire product areas end-to-end — from conception through delivery — shipping ideas to millions of students within days.

  • Elevate every touchpoint students see, touch, and feel through exceptional UI craft and motion design.

  • Build and scale a design system from the ground up, with curated components and rigorous quality standards that make excellence easy to replicate.

  • Pioneer AI-native design by developing AI-assisted workflows and AI-native product experiences that change how the team researches, ideates, and ships.

  • Set the visual and interaction quality standard for the team, making your work the reference point others aspire to.

What We're Looking For

  • Several years of product design experience with a portfolio that demonstrates work which moved metrics, delighted users, and shows genuine craft obsession — portfolio quality matters more than tenure.

  • Proven ability to guide and mentor more junior designers.

  • Active, enthusiastic user of AI tools (e.g. for prototyping, research, design review) — you see them as a multiplier, not a novelty.

  • Systems thinker who cares about scaling quality across a product, not just building a pretty component library; familiarity with code-first design systems is a strong plus.

  • Background in consumer apps or fast-paced product environments where shipping speed and quality coexist.

  • Ability to simplify complex user journeys into experiences that feel obvious and effortless.

  • Bias toward action — you reach for prototypes and experiments before presentations and debates.

  • Builder mentality; bonus points if you've shipped a side project end-to-end or have ever opened a pull/merge request.

  • Direct communicator who gives and receives honest feedback without ego or territoriality.
