About You:


  • Experienced in UI design: You bring years of hands-on experience and are proficient in Figma.
  • Skilled in advanced visual design: Mastery of typographic hierarchy, color psychology, and micro-interactions.
  • Problem-solving acumen: Capable of refining UI elements to enhance visual harmony and user engagement.
  • Collaborative spirit: Thrive in multidisciplinary settings, synchronizing efforts across teams.
  • Practical idealist: Balance striving for perfection with efficient execution.


What We Offer:

  • Fully remote position: Work from anywhere within UTC+1 to UTC+5 time zones.
  • Dynamic environment: No bureaucracy, with a focus on direct impact and efficient execution.
  • Regular team interactions: Daily video-based contact and physical team trips a few times a year.


Join us to not only advance your career but also to make a significant impact on the global design community. Apply now to be part of a company where design education is about improving the quality of life and empowering millions.


This position promises more than a role; it offers a chance to grow, innovate, and lead in the design world. Don't wait—apply today and help us shape the future of design education.
