Senior Product Designer

This is a fully remote position, open to applicants in United States.

📋 Description

• Create comprehensive user flows, navigation paths, and information architectures for the platform, documenting these as wireframes and specifications for engineering teams to implement.

• Oversee CodePath's design system, including interaction patterns, components, and standards that ensure consistency across the platform.

• Conduct streamlined product discovery by engaging with students, staff, and internal stakeholders to identify needs, particularly in platform areas and internal tools lacking a dedicated product manager.

• Collaborate with product managers to transform prioritized projects into designs ready for development, and work alongside engineers to clarify design-related inquiries during the building process.

• Supervise a UI design contractor to enhance your contributions.

• Establish and maintain high standards for user experience quality throughout the product.

⛳️ Requirements

• A minimum of 6 years' experience in designing web products from start to finish, accompanied by a portfolio that illustrates your thought process regarding flows and structures, as well as the methodologies behind your work.

• Proficient in information architecture and interaction design. You possess the ability to distill ambiguous challenges into clear flows, navigation models, and specifications.

• Proven experience in conducting your own discovery processes by engaging with users and stakeholders to determine requirements rather than relying solely on fully detailed briefs.

• Background in creating or contributing to a design system.

• Proficient in producing engineer-ready artifacts (wireframes, prototypes, specifications) using Figma or similar tools.

• Ability to navigate ambiguity and thrive in small-team environments. You have experience working without a large design organization and can prioritize tasks without having complete information.

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.

• A strong enthusiasm for education and a commitment to making a positive impact.
