At Preply, we are unlocking human potential through learning.

We believe learning with a great tutor is life-changing. That’s why we match online tutors from across the globe with learners and empower them to create live language classes with AI-powered tools and learning materials. This is how we deliver progress, create engagement and keep our global community of learners motivated. So far, over 32,000 tutors have given more than 15 million lessons to learners from over 175 countries.

Design at Preply

Preply’s design chapter crafts the experience for all of our users: individual and group learners, tutors and businesses looking to help their employees improve their language skills. Our product designers, researchers and UX writers work with the extended product team to create an engaging, delightful experience that drives business value by identifying and solving customer problems.

First lesson experience

Every learner has their own learning journey on Preply, but they all begin the same way: with the first lesson experience. A great first lesson can mean the difference between a lasting learning habit that helps learners reach their goals or not. As the product designer for the first lesson experience squad, you will play a critical role in delivering the exceptional first experience tutors and new learners are counting on.

What you’ll be doing:

  • Collaborating closely with product and engineering peers, you will own and perfect this make or break segment of a learner’s journey.
  • You will also partner with your Growth designers to ensure a coherent, consistent and delightful experience for all new learners from the moment they arrive to the moment they commit to learning with a tutor
  • Finally, you will play an important role in Preply’s larger design and product org by contributing to Preply’s Design System and helping create a bespoke, app-centric Preply Design Language

What you need to succeed:

  • Minimum of 4+ years of professional Product Design experience
  • Compelling, proven professional experience as a product designer.
  • Experience in conducting and leading research, and leveraging insights to do excellent product “detective” work.
  • Strong communication skills to effectively present your work and bring key stakeholders on board. You are confident in your ideas but open to learning from others.
  • You have experience handing off work to engineers, the dedication and focus to work alongside them to ensure high quality design on launch.
  • You have the drive to share work early and often, and to foster a mindset of collective ownership and effort. You leave the ego at the door.
  • As a plus, we value any experience working on the “seller side” (e.g. content creators, sellers, advertisers, …) of marketplaces, as well as experience using emotional design to deliver “delightful” experiences
  • A portfolio to help us understand your skills and experience as a designer.

Why you’ll love it at Preply:

  • An open, collaborative, dynamic and diverse culture;
  • A generous monthly allowance for lessons on Preply.com, Learning & Development budget and time off for your self-development;
  • A competitive financial package with equity, leave allowance and health insurance;
  • Access to free mental health support platforms;
  • The opportunity to shape the lives of learners and tutors through language learning and teaching in 175 countries (and counting!).
