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 9 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.

About the role

We’re seeking a senior product designer to help build immersive, yet scalable interactive tools for learning and teaching math and science.

Product design at Brilliant currently works across five domains: growth, learning experience, user motivation, authoring, and interactives. You'll have opportunities to collaborate with teammates from each of those domains.

As a generalist, you’ll work across these domains with the opportunity to grow into a leadership role within one. You’ll collaborate with a diverse team of educators, artists, and animators. You’ll use data and user research to inform new ways of structuring knowledge and content.

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!

Specifically, you'll:

Solve meaty interaction and system design problems
Create a range of deliverables, from high-fidelity UI, icons, and prototypes to written process and documentation
Work with product managers to influence overall product strategy and roadmap
Collaborate with educators on how product design can best support learning
Help develop a thorough understanding of learners' goals and how our products can best support them
Work closely with other designers on the team to expand design systems that work beautifully across web and native mobile apps
Uphold the quality of the Brilliant brand across every touchpoint with our audience
Contribute to the culture of a small and growing design team

You:

Have 4+ years of product design experience at a consumer or SaaS product company
Care deeply about creating useful, usable, and desirable products
Have a portfolio of product features you’ve helped build from the ground up
Are comfortable breaking down ambiguous problems into actionable and discrete projects
Have strong proficiency with interactive prototyping tools
Are an independent and entrepreneurial product thinker
Are jazzed to learn new topics in STEM (maybe you even studied STEM formally)

Please include in your application:

A link to your online portfolio
Your resume and/or LinkedIn profile
A cover letter telling us why you're interested in Brilliant
