The role

We power people's progress.

At Preply, we're all about creating life-changing learning experiences. We help people discover the magic of the perfect tutor, craft a personalised learning journey, and stay motivated to keep growing. Our approach is human-led, tech-enabled - and it's creating real impact.

We've just reached unicorn status with a $150M Series D, accelerating our vision to transform education through human-led, AI-enhanced learning. Today, 100,000+ tutors teach 90+ languages to learners in 180 countries - and we're only getting started. As a category-defining company, we're shaping what the future of learning looks like at global scale.

Every Preply lesson sparks change, fuels ambition, and drives progress that matters. Joining Preply means helping define the future of education at global scale, and building something that truly matters for millions of people, every day.

At Preply, we're building a human-led, AI-enabled learning experience that helps people make real progress. Design is central to that: turning deep user understanding into bold, beautiful, and seamless experiences that feel intuitive, motivating, and human.

As a Staff Product Designer, you'll take on some of our most complex and ambitious product challenges. You'll work closely with Product and Engineering to shape and evolve product vision and strategy, challenge the direction when there's a better path, and turn that thinking into exceptional experiences that ship.

This is a highly independent, hands-on IC role. Depending on the challenge, you may go deep within a product area or work across high-priority initiatives. Beyond your immediate work, you'll coach other designers, influence best practices, and help evolve the standards and ways of working that make Design at Preply stronger.

What you'll do

  • Shape what we build and why. Co-create product vision and strategy with Product and Engineering, bringing a strong design perspective to priorities, opportunities, and where we should go next.

  • Own complex work end-to-end. Take on high-impact and greenfield challenges with a high degree of independence, from shaping the vision and direction through to the experience that ships.

  • Create bold, differentiating experiences. Bring exceptional interaction and visual craft, thoughtful judgment, and a clear point of view - exploring alternatives, noticing the details others miss, and pushing beyond the obvious to create experiences that feel distinctly Preply.

  • Multiply your impact. Coach and mentor designers, influence teams beyond your immediate area, and help evolve the practices and standards that raise the quality of Design at Preply.
