This is your chance to join an early-stage startup and deeply shape the look and feel of our core products.

We’re looking for a UI designer to help us iterate and refine our visual identity and interaction design as we take our product from Beta to Production. We're especially interested in folks who have experience building highly interactive SaaS products with sophisticated, intuitive UIs. The designer in this role will initially be focused on our core web application interface, but will also have the opportunity to work across all content verticals (games, coursework, community forums, and more).

Our v1 product is built; it has traction with customers and a defined roadmap. We have Figma designs that cover 75% of our vision but we are constantly iterating and refining them. We're out of stealth mode and onboarding our first users. This is an opportunity to help define and own the visual presentation of a SaaS product. We are looking for someone creative and thoughtful, with the desire to make a lasting impact on an early product.
