  • The Design team at Quizlet is passionate about creating high-quality experiences that help people learn, study, and achieve their goals. Our team includes product designers, user researchers, and content designers
  • As a Sr. Product Designer, you will be one of the designers working on our core study experiences - deeply understanding student needs, shaping product strategy, and designing rich, interactive experiences for the 60M+ users who use Quizlet every month
  • You’ll drive end-to-end product design including UX, UI, interaction, and visual design for Quizlet’s native and web apps.

  • Push yourself and the team to raise the design bar at Quizlet through a culture of curiosity, feedback, and open communication

Our take

Quizlet has built a large-scale business around simple-to-share and simple-to-use products. Its free flashcard maker helps students prepare for exams. Those insights fuel Quizlet Plus, the startup’s subscription product that charges an annual fee for access to more features, including tutoring services.

After a long period of runaway growth, during which the company achieved a $1 billion valuation, Quizlet has been somewhat buffered by the general market downturn affecting the tech sector in 2022, which hit EdTech particularly heavily. It has responded by a shakeup of its leadership team, appointing AirBnB and Starship Technologies veteran Lex Bayer.

With an entrepreneurial management team and a strong user base of over 60 million students and teachers, Quizlet seems likely to weather the current economic situation and resume its growth in the near future.
