Principal User Experience Designer

Remote, USA

Posted Jun 14, 2026

Full-time

We are seeking a Principal UX Designer to lead experience design for complex reporting, data visualization, and learning analytics experiences across our K–12 educational technology platforms. This role will also serve as a senior leader in evolving and optimizing our mature design system.

This is not a component-consumer role. We are looking for someone who has built, scaled, and governed design systems in mature product environments — and who understands how system thinking elevates reporting, dashboards, and AI-driven insights at scale.

You will work at the intersection of product strategy, AI innovation, analytics, and scalable design infrastructure — translating complex educational data into intuitive, actionable experiences for educators and administrators.

What You’ll Own

1. Reporting & Data Visualization Strategy

You will lead the UX strategy and execution for high-impact reporting and dashboard initiatives, including:

Administrative dashboards and system-level reporting tools

Complex student performance and growth data visualizations

AI-driven insight experiences (e.g., Assignment AI Insights)

Combined math, literacy, and Lexile reporting enhancements

Learning analytics experiences within multi-product ecosystems

You will:

Translate complex educational data, learning analytics, and AI outputs into clear, actionable user experiences

Define visualization patterns that scale across products

Ensure dashboards support decision-making, not just data display

Simplify multi-dimensional datasets without oversimplifying meaning

Establish UX principles for reporting consistency across product lines

2. Design System Leadership (Mature System Environment)

You will play a critical role in strengthening and optimizing our design system.

We are specifically looking for someone who has:

Built components from scratch — not just assembled existing libraries

Defined usage guidelines, interaction models, and accessibility standards

Partnered with engineering to implement token-based systems

Led governance, contribution models, and release cycles

Improved system adoption across multiple product teams

Responsibilities include:

Expanding system patterns for data visualization and reporting

Defining scalable charting, dashboard, and insight components

Creating documentation that enables consistency across teams

Establishing feedback loops between product design and system evolution

Driving process optimization for intake, review, and release

Ensuring accessibility and performance standards are embedded at the system level

3. Cross-Product Experience Alignment

Provide strategic UX continuity across multiple product lines

Partner closely with Product, Engineering, Data Science, and AI teams

Align reporting experiences across platforms to reduce fragmentation

Establish UX standards for how AI insights are surfaced and explained

Ensure experience cohesion while enabling product-specific differentiation

What You Bring

Required Experience

8+ years in UX/Product Design, including experience at a senior or principal level

Deep expertise in data visualization and dashboard design

Demonstrated experience designing complex administrative or analytics tools

Experience working with AI-driven features and insight surfacing

Proven experience building and scaling a mature design system

Experience creating components, not just consuming them

Strong understanding of:

Design tokens

Accessibility (WCAG)

Interaction modeling

Responsive and scalable layout systems

Data visualization best practices

Experience partnering directly with engineering to ensure system fidelity

Ideal Background

Experience in EdTech, SaaS, enterprise platforms, or analytics-heavy products

Experience designing for educators, administrators, or institutional users

Familiarity with learning analytics or student performance reporting

Experience working in multi-product ecosystems

Experience leading cross-functional design reviews and governance

How You Think

Systems thinker — you see patterns across products and create scalable solutions

Data translator — you make complexity understandable without losing nuance

Craft-driven — you care deeply about interaction details and clarity

Process optimizer — you improve how design systems are built and maintained

Strategic partner — you influence roadmap decisions, not just screens

AI-curious — you think critically about how insights are presented, explained, and trusted

Impact You’ll Have

Elevate reporting from “data display” to decision-support experiences

Improve consistency and scalability across products through system maturity

Enable faster development through robust, well-documented components

Increase clarity and usability of AI-generated insights

Reduce UX fragmentation across the product ecosystem
