The ideal candidate is a designer inspired by potential projects like these
Designing the Learner Hub, the student-facing part of our Career Mobility OS: personalized career roadmaps, skills tracking, and employer-connected pathways
Building and owning CodePath's first design system: its interaction patterns and components
Untangling and redesigning the core platform areas no single product manager owns today, like accounts, onboarding, and navigation
Designing the interfaces for AI-powered learning tools, including tutoring, coaching, and grading
Key Activities
Design end-to-end user flows, navigation, and information architecture across the platform, and document them as wireframes and specifications engineers can build from
Own CodePath's design system: the interaction patterns, components, and standards that keep the platform consistent
Run lightweight product discovery. Talk to students, staff, and internal stakeholders to define what's needed, especially for platform areas and internal tools that no product manager owns
Partner with product managers to turn prioritized initiatives into build-ready designs, and with engineers to resolve design questions as they build
Direct a UI design contractor to extend your output
Set and hold the bar for experience quality across the product
Qualifications
- 6+ years designing web products end-to-end, with a portfolio that shows your thinking on flows and structure and the process behind your work
- Strong information architecture and interaction design skills. You can take an ambiguous problem and produce a clear flow, navigation model, and spec
- Experience running your own discovery: talking to users and stakeholders to figure out what's needed rather than waiting for a fully specified brief
- Experience building a design system
- Fluency producing engineer-ready artifacts (wireframes, prototypes, specs) in Figma or a comparable tool
- Comfort with ambiguity and small-team dynamics. You've worked without a large design org around you and know how to prioritize without perfect information
- Enough front-end fluency (HTML, CSS, Tailwind) to collaborate closely with engineers and judge what's feasible
- Strong written and verbal communication
- Passion for education and desire to make a positive impact
Nice to haves
Experience designing for education, marketplaces, or data-heavy products
Experience as the first or an early design hire on a team
Working familiarity with how AI and LLM features change product design
