We're looking for a Product Designer to join one of our cross-functional teams. You will be responsible for designing features that will impact hundreds of learners looking to change their careers, helping us become the largest tech school and helping millions learn to code.
What you’ll be doing
- You’ll combine your user experience, visual, and interaction design skills to develop user-centered features across multiple platforms (web and apps).
- You’ll collaborate with cross-functional stakeholders to design features from ideation to release and iterate them afterward.

Requirements
You’ll thrive in this role if

- You have a sharp eye for detail and integrate ethical design thinking. You represent the voice of our learners and evaluate the ethical implications of your design decisions on them and their learning experience.
- You take calculated risks. You feel comfortable experimenting with new things, are not afraid of making mistakes (because they are a part of learning), and can temper your analytical skills with intuition and creative ambition.
- You are user and data-focused. You are constantly looking to hone your instincts through user feedback and data insight.
- You have an online portfolio or PDF that you can share with us. Applications must have a portfolio to be considered.

- If you’re located outside this time zone range and want to move to the company’s official headquarters in Austria, we’ll handle the work permit process and cover travel expenses.
- If you prefer to work outside your home, we offer a physical location in Vienna and co-working stipends in other cities.
- We love working async. You can set your own pace and schedule.
Our global perks and benefits

- Your annual salary will range from €46k to €54k gross annually. Your salary will automatically increase by 5% every year. No questions asked.
