About Brilliant
Brilliant's mission is to create a world of better problem solvers. We make games for learning in math, science, computer science, and data analysis, for iOS, Android, and web. On Brilliant, you learn by doing – there are no videos, everything is interactive. We get you hands-on, figuring things out on your own. We help learners develop intuition through interaction, build understanding through experimentation, and have fun.
We serve hundreds of thousands of paid subscribers, and we’re hoping you might be the right person to contribute to accelerating our footprint to millions of customers (and changed lives). In addition to what’s below, you can see all open roles and learn more about our team culture on our careers page.
We have always prioritized building a healthy business as the backbone of achieving our mission. We are default alive (will be profitable before needing to raise), don't over-hire, are growing new customers at an exciting pace (high double-digits year-over-year). Our investors are top-tier + mission aligned, and we’ve kept our valuations tethered to reality – we aren’t playing “catch up” like many others.
In our day-to-day, we value adventure, excellence, generosity, and candor. We are optimists in the face of uncertainty, we take pride in our work, we go the extra mile for each other, and we tell it like it is (the good and the bad). We’re all here to do the best work of our lives together, and have a lot of fun along the way.
We believe that real-time collaboration and human connection are necessary ingredients in building a high-velocity, creatively-oriented consumer product. We maintain core hours (9:30am - 2:30pm Pacific) where everyone is online, regardless of timezone. Over half of us are located near our hubs in SF and NYC, and folks outside of those cities travel to attend team offsites once-per-quarter.
About the role
We’re seeking a seasoned product designer to work on the learning experience of Brilliant’s web and mobile apps. Interactives on Brilliant are the different game-like modules we build to teach math, science, data, and programming concepts. As interactives product designer, you'll design the core interactions that teach: the visual systems for feedback to support our learners, the way someone builds up and simplifies a symbolic math expression, drags code blocks, or wrangles a neural network on a phone.
Product design at Brilliant currently works across three product areas: growth, learning experience, and interactives. You’ll be a key member of the interactives product area, and you'll have opportunities to collaborate with teammates across all product areas.
Your mandate: craft interaction patterns that make hard math, science, and computer science concepts feel approachable, delightful, and addictively learnable. You’ll translate pedagogical needs into elegant UX, prototype at high fidelity, and ship polished experiences that meaningfully move learner and business outcomes. As a designer responsible for elements of the interactives library, you'll craft experiences for how users learn math, computer science, science, and data through engaging, effective interactive games.
You’ll collaborate closely with our content experts to understand how best to teach a concept, then partner with engineers to bring that vision to life. Expect tricky interaction problems, tough ties to break on the design/pedagogical requirements, and a team that trusts you to own the design end‑to‑end while having your back when you need it.
Your work will help learners around the world understand topics from probability and chance to digital circuits to programming with functions in an inspiring and interactive way. The transition from passive to active learning online is still in its infancy, but moving fast, especially with the growth of AI. Come build the future of interactive learning with us!
