• Iteratively improve our platform’s UI/UX.
• Use scribbles/wireframes/mockups to visualize ideas.
• Influence storyboards, user flows, process flows and site maps along with Product Managers to effectively communicate interaction and design ideas.
• Use usability tests to understand strengths and weaknesses of current and future designs.
• Create high-fidelity prototypes for usability testing and handover to Engineering.
• Co-design quantitative tests to validate designs.
• Support Marketing and Sales teams with branding and marketing materials.
• Work with colleagues from Operations, Learning, Product, and Engineering in cross-functional teams.

What we offer

• Technological entrepreneurship with a deep commitment to social impact. The opportunity to directly contribute to solving a pressing global inequality problem.
• An international and passionate team located in Kenya and Germany, who support and help each other grow to achieve the great goal we set out for.
• A financial runway that ensures you have the security and resources you need to excel in your role.
• Exciting trips to the partner schools in Kenya and new implementation countries to see your impact firsthand and meet our teachers and learners.
• Work-life harmony, flexible hours, vacations, and up to four work-from-home days a week. You know what schedule works best for you.
• An open environment where feedback is welcomed, promoting mutual growth and transparency.
• Unconventional and unique experiences given the environment that we operate in: low-cost devices, limited connectivity, non-tech-savvy users, and massive scale.
• Quarterly one-week hackathons to explore new ideas.
• A (seriously) unparalleled equity scheme.
• A multicultural work setting. Our working language is English. No German is required.

What you should bring 

• The desire to use your skills to bring about positive social change.
• A portfolio showcasing a history of impactful projects.
• A focus on meaningful outcomes rather than just finishing tasks.
• Experience in bridging business and user needs.
• Whether it’s Figma or the next big design tool, you’re on top of the latest in UX and UI Design.
• Familiarity with best design practices for Web and Android app design.
• You have designed more complex software such as B2B software platforms or data visualization dashboards.
• You are adaptable and able to work with fast iterations.
• Bonus points if you speak Swahili, have experience in Graphics Design, Game Design, or any other unique skills that contribute to our team’s strength!
