About HeyC AI

heyC is on a mission to transform how teachers are supported, coached, and inspired using the power of AI. We’re a VC backed, fast-moving team company with seasoned edtech leadership, bold ideas and a lot of heart. If you’re excited by AI-first product design and love creating seamless user experiences that just work, you’ll fit right in.

What You’ll Do

This is not a “make things look pretty” role. You’ll be at the heart of how teachers interact with HeyC translating intelligence and empathy into beautifully intuitive experiences. You will:

• Own the end-to-end design process for both web and mobile, from concept to high-fidelity handoff.
• Design for AI-first experiences that feel smart, conversational, and human.
• Partner closely with product, engineering, and content teams to move fast and build things that matter.
• Evolve and scale our design system so it supports consistency and creativity.
• Ground your work in user insights, turning usage data, feedback, and research into thoughtful UX decisions.
• Prototype, test, iterate, and repeat because “done” is just step one.
• Show up as a builder and owner. You won’t just design features you’ll shape the product experience.

Who You Are

• You bring 5-7 years of experience thrive in small, fast teams where initiative, accountability, and ownership are a way of life.

• Skilled in mobile and web UI design with a strong understanding of responsive design principles.

• You’re a strong communicator who can talk through your decisions and rally feedback like a pro.
• You're data-curious. You love looking into metrics and using insights to drive better design.
