Product Designer

About The Role

You’ll own the end-to-end design for the experiences that make Primer schools great. That includes web and mobile products for families, students, educators, and internal teams, as well as the physical campuses themselves. From the app parents use every day, to the signage they see when they walk into a school, you’ll help us define it all.

The same person who designs the digital onboarding flow also has a point of view on how the classroom flows. You’ll join a small, high-ownership design team that works close to students, families, educators, and operators. We value clear thinking, honest feedback, strong craft, and a bias toward action.

What You’ll Do

• Lead design projects from initial concept through high-fidelity design and launch.
• Run user research with students, families, and teachers, and turn what you learn into interfaces, systems, and environments.
• Move fluidly between visual design, interaction design, and systems thinking depending on what the product needs.
• Refined copy, tone, and visual detail so every screen feels cohesive and intentional.
• Contribute to and help shape the Mondrian design system.
• Design beyond the screen: campus signage, interior spaces and marketing assets.
• Help set Primer's design standards and raise the ceiling of the team as it grows.

What We're Looking For

• 5+ years of experience as Product Designer
• An exceptionally polished portfolio
• A track record of owning projects end-to-end, from concept through launch
• A strong sense of language and consistency
• Comfort balancing insight with intuition
• Strength bringing clarity to big, ambiguous problem spaces
• Comfortable presenting to executives, board members, investors and non-tech stakeholders
• Experience using AI tools to prototype and convey designs is a plus
• Genuine excitement about Primer's mission

Qualifications

Full-time, in-person role based in San Francisco.

We offer salary commensurate with experience, plus significant equity and comprehensive benefits including 100% health insurance, life insurance, and daily lunch.

Primer is a mission-first company. We believe our mission is the highest-leverage way we can create positive change. In service of that, we keep work centered on mission execution and avoid social or political activism at work that’s unrelated to the mission.
