Product Designer

Role: Product Designer

Design and ship experiences for Flint’s personalized learning product, balancing the needs of students, teachers, and admins.

What you’ll do

• Dig deep, validate, and design:
  • Validate user goals and map key journeys to identify the real jobs to be done.
  • Treat provided ideas as inputs—find the underlying need before accepting the solution.
• Explore broadly, then narrow:
  • Iterate through multiple concepts (e.g., sketches/wireframes/AI lo-fi/industry research) before committing.
  • Reduce options using judgment, team review, and—where possible—real user feedback.
• Design end-to-end (zero to one and scale):
  • Shape genuinely new problems from scratch.
  • Improve early shipped experiences to make them scalable, coherent, and delightful.
• Communicate and raise the bar:
  • Clearly explain context, intent, designs, and rationale.
  • Help define and maintain the design bar (including design system ownership/advancement, per the incomplete text).

Team & ways of working

• Work with a small, senior team: Product Lead, Chief of Staff (Product), CTO, and ~5 engineers.
• Move quickly with decisions often happening within days, not long sprints.
• Lean on fast feedback loops—especially early prototypes with real teachers.
• Use AI as part of the design workflow (e.g., Claude lo-fi concepts, rapid prototypes, PRDs from screenshots/voice notes).

Compensation

• $160k–$190k base + meaningful equity.
