Lead Product Designer, Learning Experience

About Brilliant 

Brilliant is a tight-knit team of scientists, educators, engineers, designers, storytellers, and illustrators who are redesigning education at scale.  

We believe that math and science are fascinating and beautiful, but that the tools widely used to teach it are dry and ineffective. Brilliant makes learning STEM fun, through problem solving and interactive explorations – from foundational math and science to cutting-edge computer science and professional topics. 

Brilliant helps over 12 million students, professionals, and lifelong learners around the world cultivate problem solving skills, build intuition, and master concepts rather than memorize them. To understand more about our approach, see our learning principles.

We’re seeking a seasoned product designer to own design for the learning experience of our web app and mobile apps – this is the core lesson experience, the layout engine that supports different modules for progressive discovery of math and science concepts, interactivity, branching paths, hints, and feedback.

Product design at Brilliant currently works across four product areas: growth, engagement, learning engines, and infrastructure. You’ll be a design lead in the learning engines product area, and you'll have opportunities to collaborate with teammates across all four product areas.

As the primary designer responsible for the learning experience, you'll be responsible for crafting experiences for how users progress through a lesson and how they develop and test their knowledge through interactive exercises. You’ll work through tricky interaction design problems that arise in our interactive exercises across different content use cases, screen sizes, and devices.

You’ll work with a diverse team of product folks, engineers, educators, writers, and creative technologists, and you’ll use data and user research to inform new ways to help learners reach their goals.

Your work will help learners around the world understand topics from logic to vector calculus to neural networks in an inspiring and interactive way. The transition from passive to active learning online is still in its infancy: come build the future of interactive learning with us!

Brilliant has a mission you can get behind. We’re a company that’s helping to bring learners from all over the world together and create a platform on which they can excel, learn, and contribute.
