About the Team:
The Design team at Quizlet is passionate about creating high-quality experiences that help people learn, teach, and engage deeply with what they’re studying. Our team includes product designers, user researchers, and content designers who work closely with product, engineering, data, and other partners to bring ideas to life. We value collaboration, curiosity, and giving and receiving feedback. We strive to understand and advocate for student needs, shape the long-term product vision, and design intuitive experiences that drive meaningful learning outcomes.
Within the Design team, Design Foundations is Quizlet’s evolution of our design system team, Assembly. We work across the company to ensure every product experience is visually cohesive, accessible, and crafted to a high standard.
About the Role:
Quizlet is seeking a Visual Designer to join the Design Foundations team. This is our first dedicated role focused entirely on UI craft and visual quality. While most of our product designers are UX generalists, you will be the go-to specialist for refining, evolving, and maintaining the look and feel of Quizlet’s core experiences across iOS, Android, and web.
You will work closely with product designers, engineers, and our motion and content specialists to bring Assembly’s components and patterns to life, ensuring they’re not only functional but exceptional. Your work will directly impact millions of learners and set the visual standard for Quizlet.
We’re happy to share that this is an onsite position in our San Francisco office. To help foster team collaboration, we require that employees be in the office a minimum of three days per week: Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday and as needed by your manager or the company. We believe that this working environment facilitates increased work efficiency, team partnership, and supports growth as an employee and organization.
In this role, you will:
- Shape Quizlet’s visual language — Define and maintain style guidelines, color systems, typography scales, spacing tokens, and iconography
- Elevate our design system — Design and refine reusable UI components (buttons, cards, navigation) and interaction patterns that scale across platforms
- Polish high-impact moments — Partner on features across the experience to raise the bar for visual quality
- Ensure design integrity — Work closely with engineers to ensure components and features match visual specifications down to the pixel
- Document and share — Maintain organized Figma libraries and documentation to make visual patterns easy for designers and engineers to adopt
- Champion craft excellence — Advocate for accessibility, uphold platform-native best practices, and drive design cohesion across the product ecosystem
What you bring to the table:
- 4+ years of experience in UI/visual design for consumer products, with a strong emphasis on mobile-first experiences
- Strong portfolio showcasing polished, scalable UI and design system contributions
- Expertise in Figma (components, libraries, tokens) and fluency with platform-specific guidelines (Human Interface Guidelines, Material Design)
- Deep understanding of typography, color, spacing, iconography, and accessibility best practices
- Proven track record collaborating closely with engineers to deliver pixel-perfect execution
- Excellent communication skills (oral, written, and visual)
Bonus points if you have:
- Strong illustration skills (e.g., icons, spot illustrations, visual metaphors) that can bring warmth and personality to our product experiences
- Experience designing for education technology or other mission-driven products
- Familiarity with motion design principles and how they enhance delight, interactions, and usability
