Job description

Base pay range

We're seeking a hands-on, execution-driven UX/UI Designer to join our growing product team. This role is focused on building and owning the end-to-end UX workflow: transforming validated product hypotheses into intuitive, high-quality interaction designs that meet real user needs.

You’ll focus on translating well-defined product problems into clean, usable, component-based designs. You'll work closely with PMs and engineers to ensure we deliver intuitive, usable solutions – fast, consistently, and with craft. You'll also help strengthen our philosophy of simplicity by applying core UX principles to improve usability across the product.

Key Responsibilities

• Translate user needs and validated product ideas and requirements into wireframes, flows, and polished UI components
• Own the design process from concept through handoff to engineering, ensuring clarity, consistency, and usability
• Build UX that scales – Your work should hold up across mobile and desktop, new users and power users, in any language
• Work within and contribute to an evolving component-based design system
• Conduct or support user research and usability testing; synthesize insights into actionable improvements

Design process & infrastructure

• Establish and maintain a structured Figma workspace and design architecture
• Build out a scalable design library and visual style guide to ensure design consistency that aligns with brand guidelines
• Collaborate with other designers and engineers to evolve and optimize how we work and document design decisions

Cross‑functional collaboration

• Collaborate closely with Product Managers to deeply understand the problem and shape the problem statements and solution spaces
• Work directly with engineers to ensure accurate implementation of your designs
• Participate in design iterations, rapid prototyping, user testing, QA handoffs, and cross‑functional reviews

Required qualifications

• Minimum 2+ years of experience designing digital products or SaaS applications
• Strong interaction design skills and deep understanding of usability best practices
• Fluency in Figma and component‑driven design systems
• A portfolio that demonstrates the ability to translate product intent into functional, user‑first design
• Comfortable managing own workload and maintaining velocity in a remote, async team
• Comfortable testing and using AI solutions to accelerate design

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in EdTech, education platforms, or creator tools
• Familiarity with implementing and documenting design libraries
• Experience working closely with PMs and engineers in delivery‑focused environments
• Understanding of user‑centred design, user testing, rapid prototyping and QA workflows

What Success Looks Like

• You prioritize usability and optimal user experience in your design
• You consistently deliver high-quality UX work across product surfaces
• You contribute to a clean, maintainable Figma environment alongside an organization‑wide design
• You ensure consistent branding throughout the end‑to‑end user journey
• Engineers rely on your specs and annotations to build efficiently

Benefits

• Salary £45-55k per year
• 30 days’ holiday per year
• 100% remote & flexible working
