THE OPPORTUNITY

We are building the #1 AI learning companion for 1 billion students globally.

We are building a future where every student on the planet can access, enjoy, and benefit from the highest quality education. Since founding Knowunity straight out of high school in 2020, we've been committed to revolutionising how students learn.

Millions of students already use our AI learning companion weekly. We just raised €27m - Europe’s largest education round in the past three years. The AI learning market is at an inflection point, finally enabling true personalisation at scale, and we're determined to build the first AI learning unicorn in this space.

You will join an elite team of 60 hands-on builders serving 1 billion students worldwide. If we execute on our product vision, you will have built something generational that transforms education globally.

This is your chance to be part of building a generational company.

YOUR MISSION

The problem you will solve: We’re looking for high-agency Design Engineers who are obsessed with craft and building.

Your ownership:

You’ll transform entire parts of the app and make them feel genuinely great. You’ll work closely with the Founders and Engineering teams to ship features that are interactive, production-ready, and well built—showing craft in both design and code.
You’ll build your own projects from scratch. You could build growth features to make us go viral (a web tool, an in-app flow, or a social sharing feature) or experimental design interfaces for education.

Why this matters: Design is the most critical job to be done right now at Knowunity. We’re data-driven and strong on A/B testing. We’ve made many decisions based on metrics. Not enough on taste. Not enough craft. Despite being loved by over a million students every day, the product doesn’t yet meet the bar of a world-class consumer company. You will change that.

WHO YOU ARE

You likely have 2–5 years of experience building your own thing, working in a B2C startup, and have shipped high-performing interfaces that both moved metrics and delighted users. Whether designing a growth experiment, onboarding flow, or gamified feature, you can point to exactly how your work impacted key metrics.

We value designers who:

Care. You deeply care about quality: micro-animations, user delight, and the full experience.
Think. You think in systems, not screens. With data, not just intuition. For millions of users, not the perfect one.
Build. You just build MVPs for product ideas that would normally take weeks to ship.
Scale. You build systems and scale your design into production—you code your own components and a design system that make AI prototyping fast.

WHAT WE OFFER

Not for everyone, everything for the right ones.

Competitive compensation and equity: We’re are building Knowunity to dominate the global AI learning market. Your compensation package includes competitive salary paired with meaningful equity in a company with genuine unicorn potential. Team members who help us reach that goal will be rewarded accordingly.
Elite team and true ownership: You’ll work alongside 60 exceptional people who match your ambition within a flat hierarchy - direct access to founders and leadership without bureaucratic middle layers. You'll own entire areas from conception to delivery with real decision-making authority.
Meaningful impact at scale: Your work will have immediate, measurable impact on education globally and directly improves how millions of students learn.
Benefits: 28 days annual leave +1 extra day per year with Knowunity, 40 days work from anywhere, personal development budget, mental health support via Nilo, Urban Sports Club, monthly become1 retail vouchers, team and company events

We’re not here to coast - we are building something exceptional. We’re a lean team of ambitious people who push hard, move fast, and constantly raise the bar. The real perk is not standard benefits - it’s joining 60 amazing people who challenge you to level up daily. If you’re hungry, thrive under pressure and ready to go the extra mile, this is where you will accelerate your career faster than anywhere else.
