We’re looking for a world-class product designer who’s obsessed with craft & excited about AI. You’ll join +60 builders shipping one of Europe’s biggest consumer AI products, shaping how millions of students learn.
We're building the #1 AI learning companion for 1 billion students. A future where every student on the planet can access, enjoy & benefit from the highest quality education. Since founding Knowunity straight out of high school in 2020, we've been committed to revolutionising how students learn.
Millions of students already use our AI learning companion weekly. We just raised €27m - Europe’s largest education round in the past three years. The AI learning market is at an inflection point, finally enabling true personalisation at scale, and we're determined to build the first AI learning unicorn in this space.
You will join an elite team of +60 hands-on builders serving 1 billion students worldwide. If we execute on our product vision, you will have built something generational that transforms education globally. This is your chance to build a generational company that shapes how an entire generation learns.
Design is the single highest-leverage investment at Knowunity right now. You’ll be at the center of that shift.
We’ve built a product millions of students love, powered by an engineering team that ships & learns extraordinarily fast. Now we’re going all-in on craft. The kind of UI excellence, motion design, and systematic thinking that turns a loved product into a world-class one.
We just brought on a new Head of Design. We’re building a design system from the ground up. And we’re working with Ragged Edge (the agency behind the Transferwise & Granola rebrands) on a major brand evolution.
You won’t be maintaining someone else’s vision. You’ll be shaping it from the start.
Your portfolio matters more than your years of experience. Show us work that moved metrics & delighted users:
Craft-obsessed: The details are the design. You push back until the bar is raised.
AI enthusiast: From prototyping to research to shipping. You see AI tools as a multiplier, not a threat.
Systems thinker: You care about scaling quality across a product, not a pretty Figma library. Code-first design systems, AI-powered design reviews, whatever works at speed & scale.
Simplifier: Education is messy. AI is unpredictable. You turn complicated user journeys into experiences that feel obvious.
Biased to action: You move fast by default. Prototypes over presentations, experiments over endless debate.
Builder: You like getting your hands dirty. Bonus if you’ve shipped a side project end to end, or opened a merge request.
Team-first: Direct feedback, no preciousness, no territory. Engineers prototyping features? More builders means better outcomes.
Curious: New tools, new patterns, new ways of thinking. You stay up to date & experiment continuously because you want to, not because someone told you to.
Raise the bar on everything students see, touch & feel. Make the Knowunity product undeniably world-class.
Set the standard: UIs students want to screenshot & details they feel, but can’t name. Your work is the reference point.
Scale it: Curated references, stellar components & sharp reviews. Make it easy even for vibe-coding PMs to hit the standard.
Pioneer AI-native design: AI changes how we research, ideate, ship, as well as what we ship. You’ll figure out both, from AI-assisted workflows to AI-native product experiences.
Idea to production, fast: Work directly with C-level & engineering. Concept on Monday, shipped on Wednesday, live for a million students on Thursday.
Not for everyone. Everything for the right ones:
Impact at scale: Your work reaches millions of students daily. Future generations will know what you build.
Elite team, real ownership: +60 exceptional people. Direct access to C-level & founders. You own entire areas from conception to delivery.
Compensation & equity: Competitive salary paired with meaningful equity in a company with genuine unicorn potential.
Benefits: 28 days annual leave, 40 days work from anywhere, personal development budget, mental health support, Urban Sports Club, monthly retail vouchers, team & company events.
Click “Apply for this job” and submit your CV and LinkedIn profile. We move fast.
Intro call: Get to know each other, see if there’s mutual excitement.
5 minute Loom: walk us through something you’re proud of. A feature you shipped, an app you vibe-coded. Your pick.
Deep-dive call: Unpack your Loom case with our head of design/CPO, discuss your experience & perspective.
On-site day: Meet our CEO, CPO & the team. Work together, get a real feel for the culture. We’ll cover travel.
