[Hiring] Senior Product Designer @Clever

Role Description

Clever owns authentication for education — every moment a student, teacher, or staff member proves who they are, and the devices they do it on. This role brings design judgment across that whole space, working horizontally with the teams involved to create a coherent login experience, while also defining the next set of problems to solve. It's a chance to help shape what authentication means for the EdTech industry.

How You’ll Make an Impact

• The problem you'll solve: Authentication in education spans several fast-moving areas — human login, AI agent access, and device-level identity — each raising its own design questions.
• Who you'll partner with: Product and engineering leads across the teams working on authentication, plus the broader design team.
• What success looks like: A consistent, well-considered authentication experience even as new surfaces like agent access get added.
• Key projects you'll lead: Design direction for how authentication extends into new territory — agent access, device-level identity — while keeping the core login experience coherent as it grows.

Qualifications

• Experience designing complex, security products — cybersecurity, identity/authentication.
• Experience operating horizontally across multiple teams or product areas, setting consistent design direction without owning every team directly.
• Direct experience mentoring or coaching other designers, with a specific approach to helping them grow.
• Strong cross-functional collaboration experience, partnering closely with product and engineering across several teams at once.
• Comfort using AI tools to prototype and accelerate design work.
• Strong written and verbal communication.

Requirements

• Background in K-12 EdTech (Preferred).
• Familiarity with identity protocols such as OAuth/OIDC or SSO/MFA standards (Preferred).
• Experience designing or shipping AI-driven product features (Preferred).
