BETTER ED

 All kids have extraordinary talent & creativity, and our mission in the world is to help nurture it. We truly believe that education needs to develop the whole being, and exploration of broad interests is key for originality. At Better, we are working hard to be the world's most loved extra-curricular platform & build the future of passion. We are here to do the best work of our lives, and together, we hope you are too. Come & help shape the future of inspiration & passion. As an early team member, you get to shape the direction of our products, company culture, hiring & design language and practices for the future to come.


Team

We are a team that is maniacally customer obsessed & building products that consumers love. The plumber in chief, Subramanya Sharma (subba), was recently CPO & CMO @ Cleartrip helping build one of the most loved consumer companies in the region. He was also instrumental in taking Cleartrip global (8 countries) & creating global high quality products in an increasingly flat world. We want to recreate the magic and build the same customer obsession & product culture here. What is it like working at Better? Find out more on what we love, how we build products & books we dig.


Product Designer

About the role

You can demonstrate a solid understanding of the fundamentals of product design - customer understanding, funnel metrics, translating qualitative and quantitative understanding into actionable insights, understanding of tech and infra constraints (for Web and Mobile), ability to conceptualise solutions within tight constraints (time & tech), track performance of the product once live and iterate. You are driven by a desire to think through problems deeply and solve them well - you understand that UI is only a layer, not a solution.

You have great taste for good design and know how to translate taste into outcomes. You take pride in your attention to detail and strive for perfection from concept to product. You have experience creating web & mobile apps/products with end to end ownership - you know, intimately, the working differences between web standards, PWAs on mobile, Material Design on Android and iOS design guidelines. You have worked in dynamic, collaborative environments and worked alongside product managers and engineers. You are articulate and can clearly rationalise and communicate your design assumptions and decisions. You take ownership and can work independently, get things done over multiple communication channels - be it Slack, asynchronous chat or similar.

Responsibility

You will own and manage product and feature design end-to-end for web and mobile. You will be responsible for customer & market understanding, concept & design, stakeholder buy-ins, tech. handovers & reviews and debugging & tracking the feature in production. You will collaborate with Product Managers and Engineers throughout the product development lifecycle to ensure design intent is in sync with business goals and followed through to production.
