Full-Time Product Designer

DonorsChoose makes it easy for anyone to help a teacher in need, moving us closer to a nation where students in every community have the tools and experiences they need for a great education.

Imagine playing a key role in transforming public education by designing user experiences that empower teachers and donors.

At DonorsChoose, we’re seeking a highly motivated Product Designer who is a creative problem-solver and will own design challenges from end to end, driving solutions from initial concept to implementation.

Things you'll do:

• Collaborate with user researchers, product managers, and engineers to identify and solve key user problems.
• Design accessible, inclusive, and engaging experiences using user-centered design principles.
• Create high-fidelity prototypes in Figma and work with our research team to test and validate ideas.
• Communicate your design decisions effectively—gather feedback, build consensus, and get others excited about your ideas.
• Contribute to the development process by writing clean, efficient front-end code (HTML, CSS, JS).
• Use data and analytics to understand opportunities, measure success, refine designs, and drive continuous improvement.

You should have:

• 4-5+ years of experience designing and shipping web products (both mobile and desktop).
• A sharp product sense—you stay up to date with the latest in design, technology, and development, and you think critically about what makes digital experiences great.
• Fluency in Figma, both in creating new designs and operating within a larger design system.
• Strong front-end development skills (HTML, CSS, JavaScript) and a willingness to dive into the codebase.
• A knack for simplifying complex problems and crafting elegant, effective solutions.
• Experience with A/B testing and data-driven optimization methods.
• Strong communication skills—able to clearly present designs, articulate reasoning, and bring people along.
• A passion for education, equity, and social impact.
