Product Designer

Company Description

Our client is an EdTech company building a learning platform around a knowledge graph.

The product brings together learning content, relationships, progression, mastery, and data visualization into a single experience. Because the platform is built around real data and APIs, design decisions need to work beyond static Figma screens.

The environment is well suited to a designer who is curious about technology, cares deeply about craft, and enjoys solving problems where product, data, and human understanding intersect.

Job Description

Remote | Egypt | Full-Time | EdTech

What if your next design challenge wasn't another dashboard or marketing page, but a product that helps people understand knowledge, progression, mastery, and relationships at scale?

Our client is building an education technology platform powered by a knowledge graph, and they're looking for a Product Designer who can turn complex data and technical systems into experiences that feel intuitive, purposeful, and genuinely enjoyable to use.

This is an opportunity for a designer who wants to work at the intersection of product design, data visualization, technology, and education, with meaningful ownership from exploration through production.

Why This Opportunity Matters

The challenge isn't simply to make the platform look polished. It's to make complexity understandable.

You'll help shape how learners, educators, authors, and administrators interact with large amounts of dynamic information. You'll design experiences that remain clear when data is incomplete, content varies dramatically in length, datasets grow, and users move between different levels of detail.

You'll work closely with the Founder and Frontend Engineer, giving you direct influence over product direction and the way complex ideas become real, usable experiences.

What You'll Own

You'll take ownership of product design across the learner experience, administrator and authoring systems, and marketing website.

Your work will include:

• Turning complex knowledge graphs and data structures into interfaces that non-technical users can understand confidently.
• Defining information hierarchy, interaction patterns, responsive behavior, visual systems, and edge cases.
• Designing meaningful data visualizations for relationships, progression, mastery, trends, distributions, and comparisons.
• Creating visualization systems where color, data encoding, legends, and navigation remain consistent across different views.
• Designing experiences that work with everything from a handful of items to hundreds or thousands of relationships.
• Accounting for real-world API behavior, including missing data, long content, empty states, loading states, errors, overflow, and variable datasets.
• Building scalable design systems with reusable components, tokens, states, variants, responsive rules, documentation, and accessibility considerations.
• Creating rapid interactive prototypes using HTML/CSS/JavaScript, Framer, or similar tools to validate ideas before implementation.
• Providing clear design annotations and handoffs that engineers can implement asynchronously.
• Collaborating directly with the Founder on product direction and with frontend engineering within a defined API boundary.
• Testing designs with real users and iterating based on evidence rather than internal opinions alone.

Qualifications

What Makes You Successful

You'll thrive in this role if you combine strong visual judgment with genuine product thinking.

We're particularly interested in designers who:

• Have strong proficiency in Figma and experience designing products that have actually shipped.
• Understand data visualization beyond simply selecting a chart type; you know when a visualization communicates effectively and when it can mislead.
• Have experience with complex visualizations such as network/graph structures, multivariate comparisons, temporal trends, or distributional views.
• Can design for real dynamic content rather than relying on perfectly controlled mock data.
• Think through edge cases and interaction states before engineering has to ask for them.
• Understand responsive design and the realities of constrained hardware and performance environments.
• Have practical knowledge of WCAG AA accessibility standards.
• Are comfortable working with APIs, technical constraints, and frontend engineers.
• Can prototype with HTML/CSS/JavaScript, Framer, or similar technologies.
• Care about typography, hierarchy, density, motion, color, interaction, and the details that make a product feel exceptional.
• Validate your work with real users and can explain decisions through user and product outcomes.

A technical, frontend, creative coding, illustration, animation, photography, or visual design background can all be valuable here.

AI & Modern Design Practice

AI is part of the modern design workflow, and our client is interested in designers who use it thoughtfully.

You may work with tools such as Cursor, ChatGPT, GitHub Copilot, Claude, Midjourney, or AI-powered design and prototyping tools.

What matters isn't how many tools you've tried. We want to see how you've used AI to materially improve your speed, quality, exploration, research, prototyping, or production workflow.

Additional Information

What's In It For You

This role gives you the opportunity to:

• Own meaningful product design work from early exploration through production.
• Work directly with the Founder and influence product direction.
• Solve genuinely complex problems involving education, data, visualization, and technology.
• Build design systems that need to work in a real, API-driven product.
• Work closely with engineering and develop deeper technical fluency.
• Experiment with modern AI-assisted design and prototyping workflows.
• Create experiences that can directly influence how people understand learning and knowledge.
• Continue developing your craft in an environment that values curiosity, quality, and active participation in the wider design community.

What We're Looking For in Your Portfolio

Your portfolio should demonstrate how you think, not just how polished your screens look.

We'd like to see 2–3 strong case studies showing:

• The problem and constraints.
• Your reasoning and design decisions.
• Your process and iterations.
• The final outcome.
• Impact or results, where available.

At least one project should demonstrate meaningful experience with complex data visualization, and at least one should show something that actually shipped—a live product, working application, production design system, or shipped feature.

Shortlisted candidates will also complete a paid design exercise based on a real product surface, including a visualization component.

A Role for Designers Who Care About the Details

This won't be the right environment for someone whose portfolio is primarily polished concept screens, animation showcases, or dashboards built from default chart components without deeper product thinking.

It's designed for someone who asks:

Where am I? What am I looking at? What does this mean? What should I do next?

If you enjoy answering those questions through thoughtful design and want to work on a product where visual craft, product thinking, data literacy, and technical curiosity genuinely matter, we'd love to see your work.
