Product Designer

Department: Engineering

Location: Berlin

Employment Type: FullTime

About the Role

This is a high-impact design role at a fast-growing AI-powered learning platform reaching tens of millions of students across 30+ countries. You'll sit at the center of a major push toward AI-native product experiences and elite design craft, with direct access to C-level leadership to shape the product vision from day one.

What You'll Do

• Own entire product areas end-to-end — from conception through delivery — shipping ideas to millions of students within days alongside engineering and leadership.

• Raise the quality bar across everything students see and interact with, setting a new standard through UI excellence and motion design.

• Build and scale a design system from the ground up, including curated references, reusable components, and review practices that make quality easy to replicate.

• Pioneer AI-native design by developing AI-assisted workflows and product experiences that transform how the team researches, ideates, and ships.

• Mentor more junior designers and act as the team's reference point for craft and detail.

What We're Looking For

• Several years of product design experience with a portfolio that demonstrates work moving metrics and delighting users — portfolio weight matters more than title or tenure.

• Deep craft obsession: you sweat the details, push back until the bar is raised, and see polish as part of the design, not a finishing step.

• Active, enthusiastic user of AI tools across prototyping, research, and shipping — you treat AI as a force multiplier, not a curiosity.

• Systems thinker who scales quality through code-first design systems, AI-powered design reviews, or whatever approach works at speed and scale.

• Proven ability to simplify complex user journeys into experiences that feel obvious and intuitive.

• Strong bias toward action: you default to prototypes over decks and experiments over debate.

• Builder mentality — bonus points if you've shipped a side project end-to-end or contributed to a codebase.

• Background in consumer apps, EdTech, or other fast-paced, user-facing product environments is a strong plus.

• Collaborative, direct communicator with no ego around ownership or feedback.
