• Values attention to detail and creating experiences that feel intuitive, scalable, and maintainable over time
• Curious, collaborative, and motivated by the opportunity to help create better learning experiences for students and teachers

Requirements

• Proficiency in Figma
• Experience designing responsive web applications with a strong understanding of usability, WCAG, and inclusive design best practices

• Experience working with established design systems and component libraries
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills
• Ability to manage priorities and maintain momentum across multiple projects
• Ability to meet agreed-upon project milestones and deadlines
