About the Role
Location: Remote (United States, Europe, Canada, or LATAM)
Role Type: Full-Time
Reporting to: VP of Engineering
Compensation: $148,000 to $190,000 per year for US-based applicants. Adjusted contingent on location for applicants based in Canada, LATAM, and Europe.
CodePath's educational programs run on our learning platform, a set of applications with functionality spanning admissions, course delivery, grading, career coaching, and reporting. These tools have been amazingly effective, but we’re increasingly seeing our limited design bandwidth holding us back in our efforts to take them further.
We're looking for our first Senior Product Designer to own the experience design of the platform: how a flow is structured, how people navigate, how an interaction feels. You'll also own the design system that keeps everything coherent as the platform grows.
This is a hands-on individual contributor role. You'll own the work end to end: talk to the people who use our products, decide how an experience should work, and hand engineers something they can build from.
We focus on what's most impactful for our students: the quality of the experience. A UI-focused contractor is available to you as a resource, and you'll set the direction they execute against.
The ideal candidate is a designer inspired by potential projects like these:
Designing the Learner Hub, the student-facing part of our Career Mobility OS: personalized career roadmaps, skills tracking, and employer-connected pathways
Building and owning CodePath's first design system: its interaction patterns and components
Untangling and redesigning the core platform areas no single product manager owns today, like accounts, onboarding, and navigation
Designing the interfaces for AI-powered learning tools, including tutoring, coaching, and grading
Key Activities
Design end-to-end user flows, navigation, and information architecture across the platform, and document them as wireframes and specifications engineers can build from
Own CodePath's design system: the interaction patterns, components, and standards that keep the platform consistent
Run lightweight product discovery. Talk to students, staff, and internal stakeholders to define what's needed, especially for platform areas and internal tools that no product manager owns
Partner with product managers to turn prioritized initiatives into build-ready designs, and with engineers to resolve design questions as they build
Direct a UI design contractor to extend your output
Set and hold the bar for experience quality across the product
Qualifications
6+ years designing web products end-to-end, with a portfolio that shows your thinking on flows and structure and the process behind your work
Strong information architecture and interaction design skills. You can take an ambiguous problem and produce a clear flow, navigation model, and spec
Experience running your own discovery: talking to users and stakeholders to figure out what's needed rather than waiting for a fully specified brief
Experience building or contributing to a design system
Fluency producing engineer-ready artifacts (wireframes, prototypes, specs) in Figma or a comparable tool
Comfort with ambiguity and small-team dynamics. You've worked without a large design org around you and know how to prioritize without perfect information
Strong written and verbal communication
Passion for education and desire to make a positive impact
Nice to Haves
Experience designing for education, marketplaces, or data-heavy products
Experience as the first or an early design hire on a team
Working familiarity with how AI and LLM features change product design
Enough front-end fluency (HTML, CSS, Tailwind) to collaborate closely with engineers and judge what's feasible
Compensation
CodePath has standardized salaries based on the position’s level, no matter where you live.

CodePath.org Insights
What We Do
We deliver industry-vetted courses and career support centered on the needs of first-generation and low-income students. Our students train with senior engineers, intern at top companies, and rise together to become the tech leaders of tomorrow. Breaking into the tech industry requires a number of factors: industry-relevant knowledge, connections, specific hard and soft skills, an understanding of how to navigate the job search, and the technical interviewing process. Many college CS programs don't have the depth of resources or support needed to practically set students up for career success, like keeping up with the latest industry trends, building employer partnerships, and providing access to critical internships where students can get a foothold in the industry. Even the most well-funded, prestigious programs can have gaps that prevent a comprehensive education.
Why Work With Us
We believe tech excellence can be within reach for anyone given the right resources and the chance to apply them. When you work here, you're helping make that real. If building a more inclusive future of tech alongside bright students, college programs, and top employers sounds like your kind of work, CodePath is the place.
