About the Role Location: Remote (United States, Europe, Canada, or LATAM) Role Type: Full-Time Reporting to: VP of Engineering Compensation: $148,000 to $190,000 per year for US-based applicants. Adjusted contingent on location for applicants based in Canada, LATAM, and Europe. CodePath's educational programs run on our learning platform, a set of applications with functionality spanning admissions, course delivery, grading, career coaching, and reporting. These tools have been amazingly effective, but we’re increasingly seeing our limited design bandwidth holding us back in our efforts to take them further. We're looking for our first Senior Product Designer to own the experience design of the platform: how a flow is structured, how people navigate, how an interaction feels. You'll also own the design system that keeps everything coherent as the platform grows. This is a hands-on individual contributor role. You'll own the work end to end: talk to the people who use our products, decide how an experience should work, and hand engineers something they can build from. We focus on what's most impactful for our students: the quality of the experience. A UI-focused contractor is available to you as a resource, and you'll set the direction they execute against. The ideal candidate is a designer inspired by potential projects like these: Designing the Learner Hub, the student-facing part of our Career Mobility OS: personalized career roadmaps, skills tracking, and employer-connected pathways Building and owning CodePath's first design system: its interaction patterns and components Untangling and redesigning the core platform areas no single product manager owns today, like accounts, onboarding, and navigation Designing the interfaces for AI-powered learning tools, including tutoring, coaching, and grading Key Activities 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 Direct a UI design contractor to extend your output Set and hold the bar for experience quality across the product Qualifications 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 Nice to Haves 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 Compensation CodePath has standardized salaries based on the position’s level, no matter where you live.
