Build the Future of Education

At Code Mantra, we're building an AI-powered education platform that helps students become the next generation of innovators, creators, and problem-solvers.

We are creating products used by

Students

Parents

Teachers

Administrators

Our mission is to impact millions of learners globally through technology, innovation, and exceptional learning experiences.

This is an opportunity to join an ambitious early-stage company and play a key role in shaping products that will influence the future of education.

The Opportunity

We are looking for a Senior Product Designer who can take complete ownership of product design.

You will work directly with founders, engineers, curriculum experts, and operations teams to design and improve experiences across web and mobile platforms.

This is not a role where tasks are assigned every day with detailed instructions.

We are looking for a designer who can independently identify opportunities, solve problems, make decisions, and drive projects forward.

You won't just design screens.

You will help define how our products work, feel, and evolve.

Founding Designer Mindset

For at least the first 6 months, you will be the primary designer on the team.

There will not be junior designers supporting you.

Because of this, we are specifically looking for someone who is comfortable operating independently and taking full ownership of the design function.

Work independently with minimal supervision

Take a business problem and convert it into a complete design solution

Prioritize and manage your own work

Drive projects from concept to implementation
