Because we are building an AI-powered career platform, this position will shape how our users experience AI as a helpful and trustworthy guide.
Key Responsibilities:
- Lead design projects end-to-end, including user flows, wireframes, low-fidelity prototypes, high-fidelity mockups, and visual assets.
- Collaborate closely with product managers, engineers, and other stakeholders to align design solutions with business goals and technical requirements.
- Design conversational and AI-guided experiences- chat, voice, and assistant-driven flows- so that AI feels like one coherent, consistent presence across the product.
- Design for our users' real conditions: mobile-first, accessible, and clear for users navigating English as a second or third language.
- Designing data-rich interfaces such as dashboards, progress indicators, or assessment/scoring displays and applying strong information hierarchy and visual encoding (color, iconography, progressive disclosure
- Own and evolve our design system- design documentation, style guides, component patterns, and asset libraries - to ensure consistency across a multi-role platform and to ensure alignment with the branding and enable clean handoff to engineering.
- Drive design iterations, refining and improving UX solutions based on feedback from users, team members, and stakeholders.
- Help plan and conduct usability tests, analyze results, and identify areas to improve the user experience.
- 3–5 years of experience in UX and product design.
- A well-designed portfolio demonstrating relevant design projects and skills- including wireframing, prototyping, and high-fidelity design
- Experience designing AI-powered or conversational products (chatbots, voice agents, or AI assistants).
- Experience designing end-to-end, consumer-facing product experiences- not just individual screens or internal tools.
- Experience designing learning or educational products- structured content, progression, and progress-tracking systems.
- Familiarity with how LLM-based features behave- latency, variability, and the risk of incorrect output- and how thoughtful design mitigates those rough edges.
- Familiarity with front-end development technologies (e.g., React/component-based frameworks) and how they shape design implementation and handoff.
- Experience designing accessible, mobile-first interfaces, ideally for audiences with a range of language and digital literacy levels to ensure designs meet accessibility standards (i.e. WCAG compliance).
- Knowledge of usability testing methodologies and user research techniques.
- Ability to work collaboratively in a team environment, meet deadlines, and demonstrate professionalism and a positive attitude.
- A growth mindset- actively seeking feedback from users, stakeholders, and the design community, and continually sharpening your craft.
- Excitement about our mission to create an inclusive and welcoming country without barriers for newcomers to thrive in the labor market.
