CodePath is the largest educator of college computer science students in the country, and they are seeking a Senior Product Designer to enhance their learning platform. The role involves owning the experience design of the platform, managing the design system, and collaborating with various stakeholders to improve user experience.
Responsibilities:
- Design end-to-end user flows, navigation, and information architecture across the platform, and document them as wireframes and specifications engineers can build from
- Own CodePath's design system: the interaction patterns, components, and standards that keep the platform consistent
- Run lightweight product discovery. Talk to students, staff, and internal stakeholders to define what's needed, especially for platform areas and internal tools that no product manager owns
- Partner with product managers to turn prioritized initiatives into build-ready designs, and with engineers to resolve design questions as they build
- Set and hold the bar for experience quality across the product
Requirements:
- 6+ years designing web products end-to-end, with a portfolio that shows your thinking on flows and structure and the process behind your work
- Strong information architecture and interaction design skills. You can take an ambiguous problem and produce a clear flow, navigation model, and spec
- Experience running your own discovery: talking to users and stakeholders to figure out what's needed rather than waiting for a fully specified brief
- Experience building or contributing to a design system
- Fluency producing engineer-ready artifacts (wireframes, prototypes, specs) in Figma or a comparable tool
- Comfort with ambiguity and small-team dynamics. You've worked without a large design org around you and know how to prioritize without perfect information
- Strong written and verbal communication
- Passion for education and desire to make a positive impact
- Experience designing for education, marketplaces, or data-heavy products
- Experience as the first or an early design hire on a team
- Working familiarity with how AI and LLM features change product design
- Enough front-end fluency (HTML, CSS, Tailwind) to collaborate closely with engineers and judge what's feasible
