[Hiring] Product Designer @Blackboard

Role Description

Founding designer for the product and the brand around it. Product design, brand, interaction, creative direction, user testing, and shipping front-end through Subframe.

You'll work with product and engineering across the product itself, marketing, onboarding, motion, the design system, and brand. Hands-on. You'll be making the work, not reviewing it.

This is a 0 to 1 AI product. There's a designer already leading things and the work is underway, but it's early. You're here to design and build new features alongside them, not polish things at the edges. Build, ship, learn, repeat.

• Design and build new AI features end to end
• Help shape how the product looks, feels, and behaves alongside the product lead
• Ship UI to engineering through Subframe
• Run user testing and feed what you learn back into the work
• Contribute to the design system as it grows
• Hold a high bar on typography, layout, motion, and detail
• Weigh in on product direction and priorities

Qualifications

• Strong portfolio across product and brand, shipping things people like using
• World-class visual craft, hands on the work yourself, with strong motion chops
• Sharp product thinker who can hold your own on what should be built, not just how it looks
• Embraced AI in your workflow, fluent on orchestrating agents with skills
• Move fast from idea to shipped, close to engineers, comfortable in ambiguity
• Comfortable with auto layout in Figma (most of what you need to pick up Subframe)
• Plays well with another strong designer already on the team

Requirements

• Nice to have: founding or early-stage experience, creative coding, front-end skills, prior Subframe experience, background in education, health, wellness, or behavior change.

Benefits

• The expected salary range for this position is $127,200 - $145,000. The range reflects base salary only and does not include additional compensation such as company bonus or benefits.
• Placement within the pay range will depend on a variety of factors, such as experience, skills, internal parity, and location.
