Why this grade This listing scored 51/100, which is a D. It lost the most ground on pay transparency. See the breakdown
- Description depth 20 / 20 How much the posting actually says about the work, measured in characters of real text.
- Remote clarity 15 / 15 Whether "remote" means anywhere, or is quietly restricted to one country.
- Pay transparency 12 / 25 A published salary range, worth more than any other single factor because it is what a candidate cannot find out without applying.
- Corroboration 7 / 10 Whether more than one source carries this listing.
- Freshness 4 / 15 How recently it was posted. Older postings are likelier to be filled or abandoned.
- Role specificity 3 / 10 Whether the listing is tagged well enough to tell what the role actually is.
-10 Ghost-job penalty — Deducted for signals that this posting may not be a real, currently-open role — staleness, repeated relisting, or talent-pool language.
Every figure above is arithmetic over the posting itself — its salary field, its text, its age, its tags and how many sources carry it. How the grades work →
Product Design
About SimpleStudy
SimpleStudy is building the exam prep experience students actually want to use. The numbers back it up: 1.5M+ students across the UK, Ireland, Brazil, South Africa, and Australia, growing by ~40k to 50k new users every week. The product runs on web, mobile, and desktop, and the team ships fast, with heavy A/B testing and product-led growth built in.
SimpleStudy is post-seed, backed by the first investors of Facebook and Revolut, and board members of Stripe and Intercom. The team is ~30 people, based mostly in Lisbon. Lean, product-obsessed, and deliberately not your typical edtech company.
They're now hiring the first founding designer to work directly with the co-founder on what comes next and develop the app as the best next generation of the consumer experience.
Your impact
Own the full design process from understanding ambiguous product problems to designing and shipping solutions, without needing someone to frame the brief for you
Partner directly with the co-founder on product direction, priorities, and design philosophy. Bring your point of view, and defend it
Work in a fast, data-led environment: ship features, measure impact, iterate; use Mixpanel and product analytics fluently
Drive consumer experience design: onboarding, social features, viral loops, and retention, work that reaches hundreds of thousands of students from day one
What you need to succeed
Senior-level product thinking. You've owned complex design problems end to end, from "what are we solving and why?" through to a shipped solution. You don't wait to be told what the problem is
Consumer product background. You've designed for B2C audiences at scale, and you understand growth, retention, and onboarding. The kind of products people find for themselves, rather than ones sold to companies
Comfort with ambiguity and speed. You come alive when you're figuring things out, rather than executing a roadmap someone else already defined
A/B testing mindset. You've worked in growth-oriented environments, and you design for experimentation. Every ship is a way to learn what's actually true
Craft and taste. Your design sense is a given. What matters is the thinking behind it
What you get
Direct impact at scale. Your designs reach 1.5M+ students. A new feature ships to hundreds of thousands of people. Fast feedback loops, real stakes.
Ownership from day one. You'd work directly with the co-founder. What you design gets built.
Equity. SimpleStudy is generous with stock options, and you're joining early enough for it to mean something.
Remote Europe. Work from where you choose, with team offsites three times a year.
Investors who've done it before. First investors of Facebook and Revolut, plus board members of Stripe and Intercom.
"SimpleStudy is one of those rare consumer products that's genuinely growing fast and still has enormous room to become something iconic. For a designer with strong product instincts and real consumer experience, this is a chance to shape what that looks like from the inside."
