At Cambly, we’re on a mission to transform English learning through the power of conversation. We are looking for a mid-level digital product designer to make that mission a reality. English is a critical tool that allows people to tap into new opportunities at home and abroad. Research by the World Economic Forum shows that job seekers with exceptional English compared to their country’s level earned 30-50% percent higher salaries.[1]
We are looking for a senior-level digital product designer to help develop the Cambly product across all platforms. The senior product designer will collaborate directly with a product manager and engineering manager to develop world-class user experiences and user interfaces. As a cross functional unit, they will work together closely and frequently with engineers, researchers, analysts, and other key stakeholders throughout all phases of the product development cycle.
