Job details:
You'll be joining a validated learning model already delivering measurable results at Alpha School. LearnWithAI powers the platform that supports it, scaling rapidly throughout the US and internationally. Students complete their core academics in two hours daily and rank in top national percentiles. The system is effective. What's needed now is someone who thinks daily about the people within it.
You'll establish design excellence, create the standards, and construct the function from the ground up. Your scope encompasses our learning platform and its connected learning applications, serving diverse audiences both internal and external to Alpha.
A five-year-old who can't yet read learns counting through a system that must transform novelty into play. A teenager two grade levels behind rebuilds confidence after years of setbacks—a single confusing interaction could reverse that progress. A parent gains visibility into their child's actual learning process. This transparency reduces their anxiety and enables them to support effectively. An academic coach overseeing a multi-age classroom requires visibility into progress without information overload. You must understand each audience deeply enough to make meaningfully distinct design decisions for each.
Your domain is the experience layer: conduct substantive research into each audience, translate your findings into design principles engineers can implement directly, and deliver code-ready outputs that function immediately, not mockups awaiting review cycles. You collaborate with product leaders who control outcomes and engineers who deploy code. You challenge requests that compromise user experience. You own the full cycle.
You'll employ AI as a force multiplier to accelerate iteration and expand your reach, but your judgment—not the model's initial output—determines what ships. Primary focus remains our education platform, with periodic work in additional domains.
What You Will Be Doing
- Conduct user research spanning fundamentally different audiences and develop design principles reflecting that understanding
- Create and maintain design systems embedded within each product's native UI framework, enabling faster engineering delivery and compounding design value rather than fragmentation
- Develop functional prototypes enabling product leaders to validate decisions in days rather than weeks
- Evaluate existing products from the user's vantage point: identify experience breakdowns, engagement costs, and high-impact opportunities
- Establish design culture: feedback mechanisms, trade-off evaluation frameworks, non-negotiable standards
- Collaborate with product leaders and engineers, challenging requests that degrade user experience
What You Won’t Be Doing
- Determining product strategy; product leaders retain that ownership, you ensure the experience enables it
- Creating static mockups requiring code translation
- Focusing on a single product; your scope covers the complete portfolio
- Operating from a design brief; you synthesize context from ambiguous inputs and begin designing with partial information
- Waiting for permission; you possess the authority to surface and resolve UX issues independently
Basic Requirements
Senior UX Designer key responsibilities
- Minimum 5 years in product design or UX positions, with complete ownership spanning research through delivered experience
- Substantial evidence of user empathy and research rigor across audiences distinct from yourself
- Established design craft in interaction and visual design, with a portfolio demonstrating audience-tailored decisions over generic patterns, combined with clear design perspectives
- Proven AI-integrated workflow: rapid iteration, critical evaluation, and capacity to challenge initial AI output rather than defaulting to acceptance
- Capability to convert designs into code leveraging AI tools and contemporary frameworks
- Prepared to establish a design function and culture from inception, not step into existing processes
