Product Designer

About the Role

Our client is an EdTech company building a learning platform around a knowledge graph. The product brings together learning content, relationships, progression, mastery, and data visualization into a single experience. They are looking for a Product Designer who can turn complex data and technical systems into experiences that feel intuitive, purposeful, and genuinely enjoyable to use. This is a remote, full-time role based in Egypt, working at the intersection of product design, data visualization, technology, and education.

The Challenge

The challenge is not simply to make the platform look polished. It is to make complexity understandable. You will help shape how learners, educators, authors, and administrators interact with large amounts of dynamic information. You will design experiences that remain clear when data is incomplete, content varies dramatically in length, datasets grow, and users move between different levels of detail. You will work closely with the Founder and Frontend Engineer, giving you direct influence over product direction and the way complex ideas become real, usable experiences.

What You Will Own

• Taking ownership of product design across the learner experience, administrator and authoring systems, and marketing website
• Turning complex knowledge graphs and data structures into interfaces that non-technical users can understand confidently
• Defining information hierarchy, interaction patterns, responsive behavior, visual systems, and edge cases
• Designing meaningful data visualizations for relationships, progression, mastery, trends, distributions, and comparisons
• Creating visualization systems where color, data encoding, legends, and navigation remain consistent across different views
• Designing experiences that work with everything from a handful of items to hundreds or thousands of relationships
• Accounting for real-world API behavior, including missing data, long content, empty states, loading states, errors, overflow, and variable datasets
• Building scalable design systems with reusable components, tokens, states, variants, responsive rules, documentation, and accessibility considerations
• Creating rapid interactive prototypes using HTML/CSS/JavaScript, Framer, or similar tools to validate ideas before implementation
• Providing clear design annotations and handoffs that engineers can implement asynchronously
• Collaborating directly with the Founder on product direction and with frontend engineering within a defined API boundary
• Testing designs with real users and iterating based on evidence

What Makes You Successful

• Strong proficiency in Figma and experience designing products that have actually shipped
• Understanding of data visualization beyond simply selecting a chart type, knowing when a visualization communicates effectively and when it can mislead
• Experience with complex visualizations such as network and graph structures, multivariate comparisons, temporal trends, or distributional views
• Ability to design for real dynamic content rather than relying on perfectly controlled mock data
• Thinking through edge cases and interaction states proactively
• Understanding of responsive design and the realities of constrained hardware and performance environments
• Practical knowledge of WCAG AA accessibility standards
• Comfort working with APIs, technical constraints, and frontend engineers
• Ability to prototype with HTML/CSS/JavaScript, Framer, or similar technologies
• Care for typography, hierarchy, density, motion, color, interaction, and fine details
• Validating work with real users and explaining decisions through user and product outcomes

AI and Modern Design Practice

AI is part of the modern design workflow. You may work with tools such as Cursor, ChatGPT, GitHub Copilot, Claude, Midjourney, or AI-powered design and prototyping tools. What matters is how you have used AI to materially improve your speed, quality, exploration, research, prototyping, or production workflow.

What Is In It For You

• Own meaningful product design work from early exploration through production
• Work directly with the Founder and influence product direction
• Solve genuinely complex problems involving education, data, visualization, and technology
• Build design systems that need to work in a real, API-driven product
• Work closely with engineering and develop deeper technical fluency
• Experiment with modern AI-assisted design and prototyping workflows
• Create experiences that can directly influence how people understand learning and knowledge

Portfolio Requirements

Your portfolio should demonstrate how you think, not just how polished your screens look. We would like to see 2 to 3 strong case studies showing:

• The problem and constraints
• Your reasoning and design decisions
• Your process and iterations
• The final outcome
• Impact or results, where available

At least one project should demonstrate meaningful experience with complex data visualization, and at least one should show something that actually shipped, such as a live product, working application, production design system, or shipped feature. Shortlisted candidates will also complete a paid design exercise based on a real product surface, including a visualization component.
