Flint is reimagining how students learn with AI. We're building the core teaching and learning platform for K–12 schools — one that delivers personalized learning at scale while making teachers' lives easier, not harder.

We’ve been heads-down for the past two years and now work with 200+ schools across the U.S. and around the world.

We’re backed by Y Combinator (S23) and led by a lean, fast-moving team. You’ll join at the ground floor, working directly with the founders (second-time founder CEO and ex-Googler CTO) and a small group of engineers to ship ambitious, thoughtful products that power real classrooms.

🎨 What you’ll do

We’re in the middle of a major product revamp. As our first full-time designer, you’ll:

  • Own UI/UX across the product — from concept to polish

  • Partner closely with the founders, engineering team, and customer success team

  • Interview teachers and students to deeply understand the classroom

  • Translate product direction, business needs, and technical constraints into clear, classroom-friendly interfaces

  • Use AI to speed up prototyping and iteration

  • Ensure consistency and harmony across the product — so it feels intuitive, clean, and all the pieces work together

✅ Minimum requirements

  • Strong visual and UX design skills — you can take a messy idea to clean, usable UI

  • Experience designing software products end-to-end

  • Comfortable collaborating closely with stakeholders to align on goals and constraints

  • Able to work in-person in NYC

🌟 Preferred qualifications

  • Experience running user interviews or usability studies — especially with teachers or students

  • Familiarity with K–12 classrooms or edtech products

  • You move quickly using AI to generate mockups or accelerate iteration

🚀 Why join now?

  • Massive impact. Own high-leverage features and immediately witness their impact

  • Fast growth. Work with a tight-knit team, ship fast, and level up quickly

  • Strong benefits. Competitive salary, generous equity, and health/dental/vision insurance

  • Right timing. With AI, this is the moment to reshape classrooms and make personalized learning real
