Summary: 

We’re looking for a rare combination: a passionate, player-empathetic designer who can develop complex systems as well as clear, end-user experiences for children. The Lead UX/Game Designer will work across all of ABCmouse’s game experiences: improving existing activities, ideating new features and mechanics, and creating live-service content—while keeping the learning needs of young children at the center of every decision.

This is a “unicorn” role that sits at the intersection of UX design, casual game design, and data-informed product thinking. The ideal candidate is action-oriented and producer-minded, comfortable driving work from a rough idea all the way to launch, and energized by the challenge of making education feel like play.

Responsibilities: 

• Lead end-to-end design of new game features and improvements to existing games, from concept through launch and live-service iteration
• Create high-quality UX flows, wireframes, prototypes, and visual specs in Figma that communicate design intent clearly to engineering and product partners
• Design and balance complex game metagame systems and economy mechanics that motivate and reward young learners
• Use product data, user research, and competitive analysis to identify opportunities for improvement and validate design decisions
• Collaborate closely with producers, engineers, educators, and artists to bring features from inception to shipped product
• Champion the end user—primarily children ages 2–10 and their parents—throughout the design process, advocating for age-appropriate, accessible, and delightful experiences
• Maintain a deep understanding of the ABCmouse product, user base, and competitive landscape to proactively surface improvement opportunities
• Leverage AI tools (e.g., Claude, Sc, or similar) to accelerate design exploration, prototyping workflows, and launch of designs to our end users at high quality
• Partner with data teams to pull and interpret metrics that inform ongoing feature refinement and live-service decisions
• Contribute to design system standards and best practices for game design across the ABCmouse product and within AI tools and workflows

Minimum Qualifications:

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience designing for kids’ products and/or educational platforms
• Familiarity with early childhood learning principles or curriculum design
• Experience with AI-assisted design tools integrated into a professional workflow
• Background in both UX and game design disciplines (not just one or the other)
• Experience at a company shipping subscription or live-service consumer products
• Familiarity with ABCmouse or similar early learning platforms as a user, parent, or designer

Age of Learning currently provides:

• 91% of employee health and welfare benefits premiums & 70% of dependent benefits premiums
• A 401(k) program with employer match
• 15 paid vacation days (increases to 20 days on your 3rd anniversary), 12 observed national paid holidays, 9 sick days, and 16 paid volunteer hours per year
• 7 paid days for company-wide year end closure (includes 3 observed paid holidays)
