Pay Range: 60,000€ to 85,000€

At Miaplaza, we believe that great design is key to creating engaging and effective learning experiences for kids. While our products have a strong foundation, our design practice is still evolving, and we are actively working to establish UX as a core pillar of our company. This means you’ll have the opportunity to shape not just the user experience, but also how design integrates into our product strategy and development processes.

We’re looking for a Senior Product Designer who is excited by both the challenge and the opportunity—someone who thrives in an environment where there’s room to make a real impact. You’ll help elevate our design system, refine user research practices, and create intuitive, age-appropriate learning experiences. If you’re passionate about designing for education and want to be part of a growing team that values collaboration, curiosity, and meaningful work, we’d love to hear from you!

• Contribute to and expand Miaplaza’s design system to ensure consistency, scalability, and efficiency across products

• Facilitate cross-functional workshops to align design goals with user needs and business objectives

• Create high-quality prototypes to test and validate ideas with stakeholders and users.

• Collaborate closely with teammates to share feedback, build on each other’s strengths, and take shared responsibility for the quality and experience of our products

Must Haves

• 4+ years of experience in product design, ideally in EdTech or a mission-driven organization

• Strong portfolio demonstrating expertise in user-centered design and the ability to translate research insights into impactful solutions

• Proven ability to plan and conduct user research collaboratively with team members

• Proficiency in Figma and experience with maintaining or contributing to a design system

• A solid understanding of accessibility principles and inclusive design practices

• Excellent collaboration skills, with experience working closely with cross-functional teams

• Ability to work autonomously, take ownership of projects, and balance user needs with business goals

Nice-to-Have

• Experience applying pedagogy principles in design or familiarity with designing for learners of different age groups

• Workshop facilitation skills for aligning teams and fostering collaboration

• Experience implementing motion design and micro-interactions to enhance user engagement
