This is your opportunity to join a venture-backed startup early and build something remarkable at the intersection of education and technology.

• Our goal is to become the #1 ed-tech learning platform!

At Numerade, we are committed to building a virtual learning platform for everyone: For students who want to understand. For educators who love to teach. And for parents who care. Our purpose goes beyond helping students get good grades – we want to support true understanding and help students and educators alike find meaning in education. Both internally and externally, we work to foster a supportive community that encourages honest answers over easy solutions, and we are motivated by the feeling of accomplishment rather than the fear of failure. If you share our commitment to learning, our belief in continuous progress, and our restless curiosity, we want to hear from you.

• Partner with our product, engineering, and marketing teams to drive our product strategy, product development and the culture around how we build products quickly and effectively
• Help craft and evolve our visual design language to continuously synchronize UI/UX with the highly dynamic tastes and preferences of our primary demographics – high school and college students
• Provide the thought leadership to develop the right product strategy
• Rapidly produce multiple concepts and prototypes; knowing when to apply pixel-perfect attention to detail, and when to make low-fi sketches and prototypes
• Work within and lead from positions of ambiguity 
• Redesign a full student dashboard experience, incorporating aspects of gamification, social proofing, and conversion touchpoints 

You’ll bring:

• 7+ years experience working on a large scale, multi-modal B2C consumer product (web, mobile, tablet)

• An entrepreneurial spirit and results-oriented style is a plus 

You’ll become:

• Passionate about building incredible consumer products
• Highly adaptable and have a flexible mindset supported by strong fundamental design skills and intuition
• Comfortable with ambiguity: if you don’t have all the details, you’re comfortable moving forward and facing the uncertain because risk and change motivate you to evolve and innovate.
• Goal oriented: you combine vision, mission, and strategy into a cohesive outcome and are comfortable setting stretch goals for you and your team.
• A mix of hands-on collaborative leadership ability, analytical / problem-solving skills, entrepreneurial can-do spirit, and grit.

An “active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran” means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

An “Armed forces service medal veteran” means a veteran who, while serving on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service, participated in a United States military operation for which an Armed Forces service medal was awarded pursuant to Executive Order 12985.

Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way.
