My quick pitch for this role is that we’re a small, but mighty team of experienced product people from Facebook, Nextdoor, and Codecademy who care deeply about design. We are obsessed with building a world-class product and are backed by a16z, Designer Fund, Kapor Capital and senior leadership from Airtable, Notion, Rippling, Gusto and Airbnb.

Our Mission 🚀

We are on a mission to build a more equitable world by helping people from all backgrounds gain the skills they need to get hired into roles they love.

What is Formation?

Formation is re-inventing education by throwing out the one-size-fits-all curriculum and replacing it with AI that is able to pinpoint personal areas of weakness and dynamically schedule mentorship based on each learner’s performance, calendar availability and unique learning goals.

Our AI platform powers our flagship Engineering Fellowship, helping engineers from non-traditional and historically underrepresented backgrounds get hired at the world’s top tech companies. In 2022, we helped our engineers increase their compensation by an average of over $100K. We have over 400 active engineers on the platform and are growing fast.

We are looking for a Senior Product Designer to work directly with our Lead Product Designer, Head of Fellow Experience, CEO, and CTO to create valuable, easy to use, and well-crafted tools to help our students learn and land their dream jobs.

I think this role is a good fit for a designer who:

Is hungry to operate in an early stage environment that lacks bureaucracy
Is a design generalist who loves doing end to end design work and can manage projects autonomously
Is an education and social+ nerd who’s excited about how we can use technology to help people learn and land their dream jobs

Your perfect day will include:

Leveraging the power of adaptive learning to directly impact learners from all backgrounds
Designing features and experiences that increase the number of social learning interactions
Conducting user research with students to drive product strategy
Sketching out high level design approaches in your notebook or iPad
Jumping into Figma to craft easy to use, beautiful features
Working closely with our exceptional engineering team to ship at blazing speed (we often ship features end-to-end in a week!)
Collecting feedback from students and using that to drive tomorrow's iteration

Skills and expertise that we value:

4+ years of product design experience
Experience designing for social, education, and/or complex tools
Excellent verbal and written communication skills
Experience working in an early-stage environment
Experience working across the product design stack and designing experiences end to end
Experience conducting user research that meaningfully impacts product direction
Experience creating beautiful, well-crafted interaction and visual design work
