Compensation Overview

We reach almost all of our students, parents, and teachers online through our elementary Beast Academy Online learning platform; our AoPS Online School, community, and resources; the online homework and parent dashboards for our in-person AoPS Academy learning centers, and our online Virtual AoPS Academy Campus.

• Design experiences for students, teachers, and parents across our suite of educational products
• Collaborate closely with our Product and Marketing teams to optimize existing user interfaces and experiences
• Conceptualize user interfaces and experiences for new products and features
• Create, share, and iterate through ideas via storyboards, user flows, wireframes, mock-ups, prototypes, or other methods
• Collaborate with Engineering and Project Management to translate those ideas through implementation into delightful experiences
• Help create a user-centric and data-driven culture by conducting research and user testing and by analyzing the data and outcomes of design projects

Preferred Skills/Experience

• Solid online portfolio showcasing product design and UX skills with a focus on user-centered design
• Experience with innovative design solutions and participation in the design process from end-to-end
• Excellent communication, collaboration, organization, and decision-making skills
