Product Designer

Job description

About the Role This is a rare opportunity to join a small, elite design team at a Series B AI-powered EdTech platform that reaches tens of millions of students across more than 30 countries. You'll work at the centre of a major shift toward AI-native product experiences, with direct access to C-level leadership to shape the product vision from day one. Your work will be seen — and felt — by millions of learners every day. We're going all-in on design craft and AI-native experiences.

What We're Looking For Required: Several years of product design experience with a portfolio that demonstrates shipped work — work that moved metrics and delighted real users (portfolio matters more than tenure). Actively uses AI tools across the full design loop: prototyping, research, and shipping — not experimenting, multiplying . Systems thinker who scales quality across a product, not just a pretty component library — code-first design systems, AI-powered design reviews, whatever works at speed and scale. Proven ability to simplify complex, messy user journeys into experiences that feel obvious. Bias toward action: prototypes over presentations, experiments over endless debate. Experience guiding and levelling up more junior designers. Nice to Have: Builder mentality — bonus if you've shipped a side project end-to-end or opened a merg…
