Senior Product Designer, LearnWith.AI (Remote) - $200,000/year USD

<div><p>You're stepping into a validated learning model that's actively transforming outcomes at Alpha School. LearnWithAI powers the platform behind it, scaling rapidly across the United States and internationally. Students complete their core academics in two hours daily and score in the top percentiles nationwide. The model delivers results. What it requires now is someone who thinks constantly about the people within it.</p><p>You'll establish what excellent design means, define the standards, and create the function. Your scope encompasses our learning platform and its supporting applications, and how they serve diverse audiences both within and beyond Alpha.</p><p>A five-year-old who hasn't learned to read yet is discovering numbers through a system that must make discovery feel like play. A teenager performing two grade levels below standard is rebuilding self-assurance after years of struggle, and a single unclear interaction could set them back. A parent gains insight into how their child actually learns. That understanding reduces worry and transforms them into an effective advocate. An academic coach overseeing a mixed-age classroom requires visibility into progress without information overload. You must understand each group thoroughly enough to make meaningfully distinct choices for every one.</p><p>Your role centers on the experience layer: investigate each audience with genuine rigor, translate what you discover into design principles that engineers can implement directly, and deliver code-based outputs that function immediately, not mockups awaiting approval. You collaborate with product leaders who drive outcomes and engineers who deploy code. You challenge requests when they compromise user experience. You own the full cycle.</p><p>You'll leverage AI to accelerate iteration and expand your reach, but your judgment—not the model's initial output—determines what ships. The primary focus remains our education platform, with periodic projects in additional domains.</p><h3>What You Will Be Doing</h3><ul><li>Investigate users spanning fundamentally different audiences and develop design principles that reflect that understanding</li><li>Create and sustain design systems within each product's native UI framework so engineering delivers faster and design scales rather than scatters</li><li>Develop functional prototypes that enable product leaders to validate decisions in days rather than weeks</li><li>Evaluate existing products from the user's viewpoint: where does the experience fail, what's eroding engagement, what would create impact</li><li>Establish design culture here: how critique functions, how you assess trade-offs, which standards you uphold</li><li>Collaborate with product leaders and engineers, challenge requests when they damage user experience</li></ul><h3>What You Won’t Be Doing</h3><ul><li>Setting product strategy; product leaders own that responsibility, you ensure the experience delivers it</li><li>Creating static mockups that require conversion into code</li><li>Focusing on a single product; you work across the complete portfolio</li><li>Executing from a design brief; you extract context from ambiguous inputs and begin designing with partial information</li><li>Requesting approval; you possess the authority to surface and resolve UX issues without explicit instruction</li></ul><h3>Basic Requirements</h3><h3>Senior Product Designer key responsibilities</h3><ul><li>Minimum 5 years in product design or UX positions, with complete ownership from research through deployed experience</li><li>Clear evidence of user empathy and research rigor across audiences distinct from yourself</li><li>Established design craft in interaction and visual design, with a portfolio demonstrating audience-tailored choices instead of generic patterns, combined with clear design perspectives</li><li>Proven AI-native workflow: rapid iteration, discerning judgment, and capacity to challenge initial AI output rather than defaulting to acceptance</li><li>Capability to convert designs into code using AI tools and contemporary frameworks</li><li>Ready to establish a design function and culture from the ground up, not joining existing processes</li></ul><h3>About LearnWith.AI</h3><p>LearnWith.AI is an edtech startup that leverages AI and subject matter experts to cultivate a new way of learning.
