Job details:
You'll be joining a validated learning model already delivering results at Alpha School. LearnWithAI powers the platform behind it and is scaling rapidly across the United States and internationally. Students complete their core academics in two hours daily and perform in the nation's top percentiles. The system is effective. What's needed now is someone who thinks constantly about the people using it.
You'll establish design excellence, create the standards, and construct the function. Your focus spans our learning platform and its related educational applications, serving diverse audiences both within and beyond Alpha.
A five-year-old who hasn't learned to read yet is discovering numbers through a system that must make learning feel like discovery. A high schooler working below grade level is reconstructing self-belief after years of struggle, where a single unclear interaction could undo that progress. A parent gains visibility into their child's actual learning process. That transparency reduces worry and transforms them into an engaged advocate. An academic coach overseeing a multi-age classroom requires insight into advancement without information overload. You must understand each user deeply enough to design genuinely distinct experiences for them.
Your responsibility is the experience layer: investigate each audience with substantive depth, translate your findings into design principles engineers can implement directly, and deliver code-ready outputs that function immediately, not concepts awaiting approval. You collaborate with product leaders accountable for outcomes and engineers who deploy working software. You challenge requests that compromise user experience. You own the entire journey.
You'll deploy AI as your force multiplier to accelerate iteration and expand coverage, but your professional judgment, not the algorithm's initial output, determines what launches. The primary emphasis is our education platform, with periodic work in other domains.
What You Will Be Doing
- Investigate users spanning fundamentally different audiences and develop design principles reflecting that understanding
- Construct and sustain design systems within each product's native UI framework so engineering accelerates delivery and design scales rather than splinters
- Develop functional prototypes enabling product leaders to validate decisions in days rather than weeks
- Evaluate existing products from the user's vantage point: where does the experience fail, what undermines engagement, what would create impact
- Establish design culture here: how critique operates, how you weigh competing priorities, which standards you uphold
- Collaborate with product leaders and engineers, challenge requests that degrade user experience
What You Won’t Be Doing
- Setting product strategy; product leaders control that, you ensure the experience enables it
- Creating static visual mockups requiring conversion into code
- Focusing on a single product; you work across the entire portfolio
- Executing a design brief; you extract context from ambiguous inputs and begin designing with partial information
- Requesting authorization; you possess the mandate to surface and resolve UX issues without waiting for direction
Basic Requirements
Senior UI/UX Designer key responsibilities
- Minimum 5 years in product design or UX positions, with complete ownership from research through delivered experience
- Clear demonstration of user empathy and research rigor across audiences distinct from yourself
- Validated design expertise in interaction and visual design, with a portfolio demonstrating audience-tailored decisions instead of standard patterns, combined with confident design perspectives
- Proven AI-integrated workflow: rapid iteration, discerning judgment, and capability to challenge initial AI output rather than defaulting to it
- Capacity to convert designs into code leveraging AI tools and contemporary frameworks
- Prepared to establish a design function and culture from the ground up, not joining existing structures
