Design AI-powered learning tools that help new learners move from first sign-up to meaningful study habits. This temporary Staff Product Designer role is hybrid in San Francisco, with an emphasis on improving the new-learner journey through thoughtful craft, measurable outcomes, and emerging AI-enabled personalization.

What you’ll work on

You will own end-to-end design for large, complex, multi-feature initiatives across the new-learner journey, including sign up, onboarding, personalization, the first study session, and early habit loops. Your work connects onboarding experiences to Quizlet’s broader core learning moments, so first impressions naturally flow into the product’s study value.

Facilitate alignment by leading discussions with clear recommendations, while staying open to others’ ideas when it improves the learner outcome
