Product Designer

Every student on Earth deserves what only the lucky few get today: a brilliant tutor who knows them, believes in them and shows up every day. We are building that for everyone, and we’re on track to become the world’s #1 AI learning companion.

Millions of students across 25+ countries already use Knowie, their learning companion, +5x per week. They don’t come back because a teacher told them to. They come back because it helps and they like it. Most of our growth is word of mouth, students truly love it.

Why now?

AI has made knowledge a commodity, and school systems can’t keep up. Students need motivation, guidance and someone on their side, and AI can finally deliver that one-to-one, at scale. We’re building a companion that feels like the cool older sibling, not another teacher. It’s personal, motivating and something students love. This is creating a totally new market category. Education will become one of the core assets in a future where a whole generation growing up lives on more uncertainty than ever before. Education systems will keep shifting, and we’re the stable layer that families and students rely on through that change.

We raised €40mio+, operate with a lean team of +60 hands on builders & are deeply driven to define this new category to bring personalised education to 1bn students globally.

For this role, product experience isn’t one part of what we do. It is the whole thing. A brilliant tutor only works if students want to come back every day, and that comes down to how it looks, moves and feels. We need someone to own that: to lead it, push it and iterate on it with millions of students in real time. You’ll take a product students already love to its next stage.

Who you are

Your portfolio matters more than your years of experience. Show us work that moved metrics & delighted users:

• Craft-obsessed: The details are the design. You push back until the bar is raised.

• AI enthusiast: From prototyping to research to shipping. You see AI tools as a multiplier, not a threat.

• Systems thinker: You care about scaling quality across a product, not a pretty Figma library. Code-first design systems, AI-powered design reviews, whatever works at speed & scale.

• Simplifier: Education is messy. AI is unpredictable. You turn complicated user journeys into experiences that feel obvious.

• Biased to action: You move fast by default. Prototypes over presentations, experiments over endless debate.

• Builder: You like getting your hands dirty. Bonus if you’ve shipped a side project end to end, or opened a merge request.

• Team-first: Direct feedback, no preciousness, no territory. Engineers prototyping features? More builders means better outcomes.

• Curious: New tools, new patterns, new ways of thinking. You stay up to date & experiment continuously because you want to, not because someone told you to.

What you'll do

Raise the bar on everything students see, touch & feel. Make the Knowunity product undeniably world-class.

• Set the standard: UIs students want to screenshot & details they feel, but can’t name. Your work is the reference point.

• Scale it: Curated references, stellar components & sharp reviews. Make it easy even for vibe-coding PMs to hit the standard.

• Pioneer AI-native design: AI changes how we research, ideate, ship, as well as what we ship. You’ll figure out both, from AI-assisted workflows to AI-native product experiences.

• Idea to production, fast: Work directly with C-level & engineering. Concept on Monday, shipped on Wednesday, live for a million students on Thursday.

What we offer

Not for everyone, everything for the right one:

• Impact at scale: Your work reaches millions of students daily. Future generations will know what you build.

• Elite team, real ownership: +60 exceptional people. Direct access to C-level & founders. You own entire areas from conception to delivery.

• Compensation & equity: Competitive salary paired with meaningful equity in a company with genuine unicorn potential.

• Benefits: 28 days annual leave, 40 days work from anywhere, personal development budget, mental health support, Urban Sports Club, monthly retail vouchers, team & company events.
