Get ready to lead, grow, and make a direct impact on the millions of learners we serve.

JOB SUMMARY:
The Product (UX | UI) Designer leads the full design lifecycle—from research and strategy to pixel-perfect execution and post-launch optimization—leveraging AI to enhance creativity and efficiency while collaborating across product and engineering teams to deliver intuitive, impactful user experiences for Aztec Software’s digital products. 

As a full-stack product designer, you own the entire feature design lifecycle—from understanding provided business requirements to UX research to design to supporting delivery to usability testing post-launch. You’ll thrive in a distributed, AI-enabled digital product culture, reporting to the CTO (within our shared services Engineering Team) while closely partnering with business-side digital product managers to translate business needs into great user experiences. To support your growth, you’ll receive mentorship and process training from a Fractional Head of Digital Product + UX Ops.

You’ll balance autonomy with collaboration, make smart trade-offs, and drive execution—all while maintaining a positive, solution-oriented approach.

ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS:

• You’re a full-stack product designer who owns the entire feature design lifecycle
  • Think AI-first, while owning the outcome – You creatively leverage AI to ideate, accelerate, and elevate every phase of the design workflow—while maintaining full accountability for the craft and the outcome (no AI workslop).
  • Balance vision and execution – You see the big picture but focus on details, making smart trade-offs to stay on track.
  • Buy-in and improve processes – You’ll bring a positive attitude, embrace our processes and design ops, and help evolve them over time.
• You thrive as a self-starter within a cross-functional, distributed product culture
  • Work independently, collaborate effectively – Be a self-starter on a lean and growing team, working independently while staying aligned
  • Bridge business and engineering – Partner with business-side product managers to align priorities, advocate for UX, and work with engineers to deliver effectively
  • Prioritize and deliver – Manage multiple initiatives, stay cool under pressure, and drive results.
• You lead with clarity, reliability, and emotional intelligence
  • Communicate with impact – Present with clarity and conviction, align stakeholders, and rally teams to consensus.
  • Build trust through reliability – Be detail-oriented, solution-focused, and always delivering.
  • Balance results with emotional intelligence – Navigate challenges with diplomacy and clarity.

  • Research and ideate – Analyze competitors and generate concepts through workshops, storyboards, and mapping.
  • Define strategy – Translate research into user flows, feature lists, and interaction frameworks.
  • Present findings – Advocate for your design strategy and align with stakeholders before design.
• Design new features, moving from wireframes to pixel perfect designs
  • Create Lo-Fi wireframes – Draft quick wireframes and prototypes to test, iterate, and refine structure.
  • Refine with Mid-Fi designs – Define layout and interactions, while aligning early and often with stakeholders and engineering.
  • Finalize Hi-Fi designs – Deliver pixel-perfect, dev-ready designs that meet all requirements.
• Write functional specification documents and support feature delivery
  • Own functional specs – Write and manage UI and interactive specs, coordinating with product, engineering, and content.
  • Lead spec kickoff – Align with engineering pre-build to review specs and address questions.
