In the US, our main market, (COMPANY NAME) currently offers six reskilling programs that provide opportunities to learn tech industry skills: Software Engineering, Data Science, Business Intelligence Analytics, Quality Assurance, Cyber Security, and UX/UI Design.

Combining technology with human-centric support, we are building a high-quality and scalable product that enables anyone with drive and motivation to take a leap into tech. Every part of this is important:
* We want anyone to be able to do it. We do not require any tech background, nor do we ask students to pass any assessments, unlike many of our competitors.
* The only prerequisite we have is the students' drive and motivation. We care about their self-efficacy and attend to their attitudes throughout the learning process.
* Taking a leap into tech requires a lot of time and effort, which is why we are creating an interactive learning experience to help students stay engaged from the start to landing a job.

In past years, we built a solid foundation for our learning UI and process, enabling us to handle thousands of new students monthly and help them acquire the complex skills needed for a new job. Our next goal is to make the product cater to all our diverse students and keep them engaged long enough to learn the necessary skills and secure a new job-and this is a real challenge.

In the US, there are many online bootcamps like General Assembly, Chegg Skills, and Springboard. Most of them have high entry barriers and rigid, outdated learning platforms. That's why we aim to provide an efficient, engaging, and playful learning experience similar to skill-building apps like Duolingo, Brilliant, and Datacamp. Come build the future of interactive learning with us!

The role
Anton is seeking a product designer to join the P-team. You'll be responsible for supporting the development and scaling of our product, maintaining the core learning UI, and shaping the user experience.

You will work with all product functions, but primarily with the Dev team. We closely collaborate with developers while building the product, which is why we're looking for someone with at least basic engineering experience.

A significant part of our work is communication, and most of it is in English. Therefore, 1) you should be comfortable with a large amount of communication, and 2) you must be proficient in speaking and writing in English. You also will collaborate with literary editors on the text in the UI, taking responsibility for the UX writing.

As the one of the few product designers at (COMPANY NAME), you will have significant influence on the design culture and help develop our visual language, tools, and work processes. You should enjoy building things, dealing with inevitable mistakes, and cope effectively with complexity and frequent change. That's why we highly value previous experience working in a startup-like culture.

* Professional maturity and several years of working experience (we are not looking for entry-level designers right now). We seek great UX and UI skills, and the ability to see a project through all stages of the design process.
* A taste for high-quality, well-crafted visual and interaction design. You should care about details, be able to create a lovable yet practical UI, and have experience building design systems.
* A basic design engineer skillset. We're looking for a designer who can code, dive into technical details with engineering teams, and think in terms of how the actual product works.
* Excellent communication and writing skills and proficiency in English.
* System thinking that allows you to structure and process qualitative or quantitative data and draw insightful conclusions from it.
* An ability to balance between craft, speed, and the bottom line. You don't get stuck on pretty UI or deep abstractions, and consider business needs, implications, and practicality in designs.

We value if you
* Are proactive and persistent. You act without being told what to do and truly care about the outcome of your work.
* Are comfortable when everything around is in motion and a little messy. You have experience working in a startup-like culture.
* Don't cut corners ethically. You earn trust and maintain confidences. You do what is right, not just what is politically expedient. You speak plainly and truthfully.
* Learn quickly. You demonstrate the ability to quickly and proficiently understand and absorb new information.
* Value working cross-functionally with product managers, engineering, research, and data-as well as design peers.
* Have strong beliefs, loosely held. You are able to explain your decisions, but also listen to different stakeholders' opinions. You observe and internalize all inputs and feedback to help you reach an optimal decision.
* Exhibit passion and excitement over your work. You have a can-do attitude.

* Full-time work with a competitive compensation.
* Fully remote work from anywhere in Europe with option to work in Belgrade office with other product designers and developers.
