About the role

  • I started sketching out the first versions of our product on evenings and weekends - before we had a team, a logo, or an office.
  • That means moving fluidly from problem framing → flows → prototypes → real, working product - often within the same role.
  • You'll still care deeply about users, clarity, and craft.

Responsibilities

  • I'll want to understand how you work, what matters to you in a design role, and how we can support your best work A deep dive into a past project (or two) will follow.
  • We'll look for clear storytelling, design thinking, collaboration, and the impact of your work.
  • Design task session
  • We are committed to building a team that reflects the diversity of our community and promoting an equitable and inclusive environment for all.

Skills

  • 👋 About the role
  • 🧭 How this role is evolving
  • Design at Zen is becoming more end-to-end.
  • Moving faster from idea → prototype → live product
  • Owning more of the "how it works," not just "how it looks"
  • Reducing handoffs and increasing accountability
  • Use judgement to balance speed vs quality, shipping early and iterating often.

Compensation

  • is based on your competitiveness in your local hiring market (note that's not just where you live).
  • We don't believe anyone has found a great solution to global compensation, so we aim instead to be clear and equitable in how we do it.
  • Solid, but not flashy compensation.
  • We pay decently, but we won't beat out companies with deeper pockets (yet!).
  • Think long term investment.
  • If you are in a place where you need to prioritise immediate financial gain then this probably isn't the right time to join us.

Benefits

  • At Zen, we strive to build a culture of equity and inclusion, where everyone is respected, valued and appreciated for their unique traits, experiences and perspectives.
  • We value our differences and believe that practices of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion help us create a fairer, more compassionate environment for all.

Company info

  • We welcome applicants with diverse backgrounds and different experiences and perspectives - just like the staff who teach through Zen and the children at the schools we work with.
