Product Designer
Description
Memrise aims to help anyone achieve confident, real-world language skills in just a few short months. Our product is innovative and fun, and it delivers the goods.
Last year, we won the "App of the Year 2017" at the Google Play Awards in Mountain View. With near zero marketing spend we’ve grown organically to tens of millions of users, and we’re already profitable with a team of 60+ people (comprising 30+ nationalities). The goal in the coming years is to become the dominant product and pre-eminent brand in global language learning.
Your mission will be to help drive user engagement by concepting, prototyping, iterating, and creating in-app experiences and flows. Working in passionate and creative cross-functional team, you will play a critical role in delivering on our product vision to help anyone learn and fall in love with a language in a few months.

- Work on features from conceptual idea to final visual design across Web, iOS, and Android apps
- Design UX flows and UI interfaces that are simple, effective and delightful, at an award-winning level

If you aren’t completely confident that you fit our exact criteria, please get in touch immediately. Humility is a wonderful thing and we’re not interested in hiring ‘rockstars’ or ‘ninjas’. And we're at least as interested in character as in talent.
