We are building a future where every student on the planet can access, enjoy, and benefit from the highest quality education. Since founding Knowunity straight out of high school in 2020, we've been committed to revolutionising how students learn.
Millions of students already use our AI learning companion weekly. We just raised €27m from strong Investors - one of Europe’s largest education rounds in the past years. The AI learning market is at an inflection point, finally enabling true personalisation at scale, and we're determined to build the first AI learning unicorn in this space.
You will join a truly driven team of 60 hands-on builders serving 1 billion students worldwide. If we execute on our product vision, you will have built something that transforms education globally.
This is your chance to be part of building a generational company.
YOUR MISSIONAs a Senior Product Designer, you will own high-impact product areas from discovery to delivery, shaping user journeys, crafting delightful UI, and pushing the product forward through strong product sense and visual craft. You will report directly to Gregor, CPO at Knowunity.
Your mission will be to...
Own large product initiatives end-to-end:
Ship the design from user insights to wireframes to shipped implementation.
Define success metrics with Product and leverage data to iterate quickly.
Raise design quality across the product:
Continuously test the app, identify UX/UI flaws, and propose pragmatic improvements.
Collaborate closely with engineers to ensure high-fidelity implementation and smooth handoffs.
Champion design quality as a first-class priority. Consistently test other apps/games and live by example on that front.
Push craft where it matters:
Bring strong visual design, motion, and interaction details that elevate the experience.
Apply gamification thoughtfully to drive engagement, motivation, and learning outcomes.
Drive a crisp execution rhythm:
Ship at a fast cadence, run structured experiments, and document clear decisions.
Partner with Product on early ideas and convert them into clear, testable designs.
This mission is awesome, because you will have…
Massive impact: Used by 6M+ students today—with room to 10x–20x. Your work will shape how millions learn.
Greenfield opportunity: The current design is functional but not great, freedom to reinvent flows and raise the bar in fast growing app.
Design-led product vision: Space to craft joy and polish, micro-interactions, animations, playful visuals, and thoughtful motion.
Mission-driven: Education with real outcomes—accessibility, motivation, and better learning at scale.
Your mindset
You’re the type of person who:
Thinks in systems, sweats the pixels – you zoom out to shape the user journey and zoom in to perfect the details
Designs with intent – you make every decision in service of the user and the business, not for aesthetics alone
Thrives in ambiguity – you move fast with 80% context, take ownership, and iterate toward excellence
Leverages AI – as a force multiplier in everything you do
Users first - you interact with our product daily, deeply care about our users and their needs
Values excellence over comfort – mediocrity isn’t in your vocabulary
Your track record
You’ve helped shape a B2C startup environment, owning everything from UX to UI, and bringing product ideas to life through delightful, high-performing interfaces. You know how to balance creative ambition with business impact, and you’ve seen first-hand how great design can move key metrics. Whether designing a growth experiment, onboarding flow, or gamified feature — you're fluent in translating user needs into product success.
