About The Position

Quizlet is seeking a product designer to own experiences that turn first-time visitors into committed learners. The role focuses on the new-learner journey, including sign-up, onboarding, personalization, the first study session, and early habit loops. The designer will work with product design, product management, engineering, and marketing partners, with ownership from discovery through launch and iteration.

The designer will independently deliver complex, multi-feature projects to a high standard, use research and data to identify friction, and design and iterate on experiments. The role also involves applying emerging technologies, including AI-powered personalization, and incorporating AI tools into the design process.
