Product Designer
About the Role
This is a high-impact design role at a fast-growing AI-powered learning platform reaching tens of millions of students across 30+ countries. You'll sit at the center of a major push toward AI-native product experiences and elite design craft, with direct access to C-level leadership to shape the product vision from day one.
What You'll Do
Own entire product areas end-to-end - from conception through delivery - shipping ideas to millions of students within days alongside engineering and leadership.
Raise the quality bar across everything students see and interact with, setting a new standard through UI excellence and motion design.
Build and scale a design system from the ground up, including curated references, reusable components, and review practices that make quality easy to replicate.
Pioneer AI-native design by developing AI-assisted workflows and product experiences that transform how the team researches, ideates, and ships.
Mentor more junior designers and act as the team's reference point for craft and detail.
What We're Looking For
Several years of product design experience with a portfolio that demonstrates work moving metrics and delighting users - portfolio weight matters more than title or tenure.
Deep craft obsession: you sweat the details, push back until the bar is raised, and see polish as part of the design, not a finishing step.
Active, enthusiastic user of AI tools across prototyping, research, and shipping - you treat AI as a force multiplier, not a curiosity.
Systems thinker who scales quality through code-first design systems, AI-powered design reviews, or whatever approach works at speed and scale.
Proven ability to simplify complex user journeys into experiences that feel obvious and intuitive.
Strong bias toward action: you default to prototypes over decks and experiments over debate.
Builder mentality - bonus points if you've shipped a side project end-to-end or contributed to a codebase.
Background in consumer apps, EdTech, or other fast-paced, user-facing product environments is a strong plus.
Collaborative, direct communicator with no ego around ownership or feedback.
