Role Overview

We are looking for a full-stack Product Designer to lead the end-to-end design of a game-based STEM WebApp for K–5 students. This is a product-focused role — not a marketing website role — requiring game-thinking, systems thinking, and business awareness.

The ideal candidate can design the entire experience, from user flows and wireframes to high-fidelity UI and scalable design systems, delivering quality work quickly.

This role thrives in a fast-paced, agile environment, where design, development, and launch occur in rapid cycles to reach market-ready in ~14 weeks (Concept-to-Cash).
