Job description

Sigma School is building the next-generation learning portal for Southeast Asia: a platform where people learn to code, stay motivated, build community, and get hired.

The current online learning experience in the region is dull, transactional, and isolating. Students quit because traditional LMS platforms are boring, confusing, or lack credibility with employers.

We want a product designer who can rethink this from the ground up.

You will create an experience that is clean, addictive to use, socially engaging, and trusted by employers. Your work shapes how thousands of students learn, stay accountable, and showcase their skills.

What You Will Build

You will design the full learning journey: lessons, quizzes, projects, assessments, student dashboards, and public profiles. You will also design engagement systems like streaks, badges, XP, micro-interactions, confetti, challenges, and community features that make learning feel fun and rewarding.

What You Will Do

• Own the end-to-end UX for the learning portal from wireframes to high-fidelity UI
• Design clean interfaces that feel lightweight, compact, and information-rich
• Turn complex learning workflows into intuitive experiences
• Create gamification elements such as streaks, badges, XP, progress trackers, and delightful UI moments
• Design social features including learner profiles, leaderboards, comments, challenges, and sharing loops
• Design real assessment flows similar to HackerRank: submissions, scoring, feedback, difficulty states
• Collaborate deeply with product, engineering, content teams
• Run usability tests and iterate based on student behavior and data
• Maintain a consistent design system aligned with our branding and component library
• Ship fast, improve fast, and think like an owner

What Success Looks Like

• Higher lesson completion and course graduation rates
• Students return more frequently (higher DAU, better retention)
• Students enjoy learning because the product feels rewarding
• Social and community features increase sharing and referrals
• Employers trust our assessments and use them to hire talent
• The learning portal looks and feels like a modern, world-class product

What You Should Bring

• 2+ years in product/UI/UX design with real shipped products
• A portfolio showing strong interaction design, not just landing pages
• Ability to simplify complex workflows
• Understanding of behavior design, motivation, habit loops, or gamification
• Experience designing social/community features is a plus
• Experience with edtech or assessment products is a strong advantage
• Strong Figma skills
• Clear communication and ability to collaborate with engineers
• High ownership, fast execution, and willingness to iterate

Who Thrives Here

People who think in systems, not just screens. People who take pride in shipping work that users love. People who enjoy education, learning, and building tools that change real lives. People who can balance aesthetics, speed, and usability without needing micromanagement.
