At Miaplaza, we build homeschool platforms that kids aged 4–18 actually want to use — Miacademy, MiaPrep, and our Online High School are serving over 150.000 students today. Our product foundations are strong. What we want next is a step change in how our products feel: more expressive illustration, more purposeful motion, more moments of craft that turn a lesson into something a kid remembers.
We're hiring a Senior Product Designer whose craft anchor is illustration and motion. Our design team is small and senior, five designers when you join, and each brings a distinct strength: brand, design systems, research, and now yours
The role
You'd own product design for the student learning experience end-to-end: from problem framing through delivery, in a Product Trio with a PM and EM who have strong opinions and expect yours. This is product work with real trade-offs — pedagogical, technical, and business — and you're accountable for how it lands, not just how it looks.
Beyond Curriculum, you'd set the illustration and motion bar for all of Miaplaza: the standards, motion principles, and character direction that the other designers and the design system build from.
A defining part of the role is art-directing AI-assisted production. You'd build the prompts, references, and review process that let a small team produce quality illustration and motion at a scale hand-crafting alone can't reach. We don't expect you to know every current tool — we expect the taste and judgment to direct output rather than accept defaults.
You'd report to the Head of UX, with regular 1:1s covering craft, product, and career growth. The direction is upward: deeper craft leadership, cross-product influence, or both.
