You're joining a validated learning system already delivering results at Alpha School. LearnWithAI powers the platform and is scaling rapidly throughout the US and internationally. Students complete their foundational academics in two hours daily and score in top national percentiles. The approach is proven. What's missing is someone who thinks constantly about the people using it.
You'll establish design excellence, create the standards, and develop the discipline. Your domain includes our learning platform and its companion learning tools, serving diverse user groups within Alpha and external stakeholders.
A five-year-old who hasn't learned to read yet is discovering numbers through an experience that must make discovery feel like entertainment. A teen performing two grades below level is reconstructing self-belief after extended academic setbacks, where a single unclear interaction could trigger regression. A parent gains visibility into their child's actual learning process. That transparency reduces worry and transforms them into capable advocates. An academic coach overseeing a multi-age classroom requires insight into advancement without information overload. You must comprehend each group thoroughly enough to design meaningfully distinct solutions for every one.
Your responsibility is the interface layer: investigate each user group with substantive rigor, translate findings into actionable design principles engineers can implement immediately, and deliver code-ready outputs that function now, not concepts awaiting approval. You collaborate with product owners accountable for results and developers deploying production code. You challenge proposals that compromise user quality. You maintain complete ownership.
You'll employ AI as a productivity multiplier to accelerate iteration and expand coverage, though your expertise, not automated suggestions, determines what launches. Primary emphasis remains our education platform, with intermittent assignments in additional areas.
What You Will Be Doing
Investigate users spanning fundamentally distinct audiences and develop design frameworks that reflect that understandingCreate and sustain design systems embedded within each product's native UI architecture so development accelerates and design scales coherently rather than divergingDevelop functional prototypes enabling product owners to validate decisions within days rather than weeksEvaluate current products from the user's vantage point: identify experience failures, pinpoint engagement obstacles, determine high-impact opportunitiesEstablish design standards here: feedback mechanisms, trade-off evaluation methods, non-negotiable quality benchmarksCollaborate with product owners and developers, challenge directives that degrade user experience
What You Won’t Be Doing
Determining product direction; product owners control that, you guarantee the experience enables itCreating static visualizations requiring conversion to codeFocusing on a single product; you work across our complete rangeExecuting predefined design specifications; you synthesize understanding from fragmented inputs and begin designing despite information gapsRequesting authorization; you possess autonomy to detect and resolve UX issues independently
Basic Requirements
Senior Product Designer key responsibilities
