About Us

At MyPath AI, we’re building the next generation of EdTech—an intelligent, stylish career and learning assistant for students and young adults. Our platform helps users explore careers, discover personalized learning paths, get school recommendations, and connect with mentors—all wrapped in a sleek and intuitive user experience.

We're now entering a major redesign phase to rethink the app experience and elevate its design, flow, and usability. We’re seeking a Lead Product Designer (UI/UX) who can combine strategic product thinking, exceptional user experience design, and technical understanding of mobile and web platforms to help us get there.

The Role

As our Lead Product Designer, you’ll take the reins of the app’s UX/UI design across Flutter-based mobile apps and our web companion platform, ensuring both experiences are intuitive, responsive, and consistent. You'll lead the end-to-end design process, bring ideas to life with developers, and set the tone for a clean, elegant, and Gen Z-friendly visual experience.

What You’ll Do

• Redesign our app and web platform from the ground up, improving flow, usability, and design consistency
• Lead the design of core features, user journeys, navigation structures, and interaction patterns
• Create beautiful, intuitive wireframes, mockups, and high-fidelity designs using Figma
• Partner with Flutter and web engineers to bring designs to life with pixel-perfect execution
• Define and evolve our design system across platforms (mobile + web)
• Ensure responsive layouts work seamlessly across iOS, Android, and modern web browsers
• Incorporate feedback loops with user testing and usage analytics
• Collaborate with backend engineers to understand API structure and UI behavior
• Create simple, elegant animations and interactions for onboarding, transitions, and micro-interactions
• Optimize design for performance, accessibility, and cross-platform consistency

You Might Be a Fit If You

• Have 5+ years of experience in UI/UX or Product Design for mobile and web apps
• Have worked closely with Flutter engineering teams and understand component limitations
• Can translate Figma designs into real, working interfaces (with technical awareness to guide devs)
• Think like a product strategist, not just a screen designer
• Have strong instincts for Gen Z design trends, behavior, and expectations
• Are fluent in responsive web/mobile UI, accessibility standards, and design systems
• Are comfortable with performance tradeoffs, adaptive layouts, and device/browser constraints
• Have experience creating sleek animations, transitions, and design interactions
• Are proactive, self-directed, and excited about owning the design function from the ground up
• Bonus: Have experience in EdTech or with learning/career exploration platforms

What Success Looks Like

• A clean, modern, and cohesive app and web experience that delights users
• Clear, intuitive flows that help users quickly solve their problems
• A scalable design system that supports future growth and iterations
• Strong collaboration with engineering for accurate, elegant implementation
• Gen Z users feel like it “just clicks” and want to come back for more

Compensation & Growth

• Equity-based compensation as a founding team member
• Transition into a paid leadership role once the app becomes revenue-generating
• An opportunity to shape the entire product experience and design culture from day one
• Long-term upside in an impactful, mission-driven company with massive potential
