Job description

We are looking for an experienced UI Designer to join our fast-growing team at Medly. We've recently launched the US version of our AI-powered tutoring app, and this role is all about shaping the design of that product to help us reach true product-market fit stateside. You will take full ownership of the design experience for our US users - creating beautiful, intuitive interfaces, running experiments, and deeply understanding student needs. This is a high-impact opportunity to define the look, feel, and usability of a product that will transform how students learn.

Role Responsibilities

• Optimize the UI/UX of our US-facing product to drive adoption and engagement.
• Design, implement, and analyze A/B tests to refine features and improve key metrics.
• Lead focus groups and feedback sessions with students to ensure designs meet real needs.
• Collaborate closely with engineers to implement, test, and iterate on new features.
• Consider every detail of the user experience, from copy and micro-interactions to visuals and overall flow.
• Grew up in the US with a strong knowledge of the pre-university education system.
• 2-3 years of industry experience in UI/UX design.
• Proficiency in Figma and a track record of delivering polished design systems.
• Extreme eye for detail, with a user-first mindset and passion for creating intuitive products.
• Excited by mission-driven tech and motivated by building products that create real impact.
• Experience ideating, prototyping, and experimenting with AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Cursor).
• An online portfolio showcasing mobile app and/or web design work products.
• Quality Focus: Obsessive attention to detail and commitment to shipping polished, bug-free experiences.
• Collaborative Spirit: Ability to work closely with designers, product managers, and other developers.
• Office Presence: Able to commute 4 out of 5 days a week to our office in Kings Cross, with Wednesday being work from home.
• Educational Interest: Passion for education and learning, though specific EdTech experience isn't required.
• Startup Mindset: Thrives in fast-paced environments with rapid iteration and high impact.
• Innovation Drive: Excited by the opportunity to build cutting-edge educational technology.
