Product Designer, Design System

Coursera was launched in 2012 by two Stanford Computer Science professors, Andrew Ng and Daphne Koller, with a mission to provide universal access to world-class learning. It is now one of the largest online learning platforms in the world, with 82 million registered learners as of March 31, 2021. Coursera partners with over 200 leading university and industry partners to offer a broad catalog of content and credentials, including Guided Projects, courses, Specializations, certificates, and bachelor’s and master’s degrees. More than 6,000 institutions have used Coursera to upskill and reskill their employees, citizens, and students, including in high-demand fields such as data science, technology, and business. Coursera became a B Corp in February 2021.

Coursera’s Product Design team is responsible for creating Course Authoring, Administration and Learning experiences for our Consumer, Enterprise and University partners. The Component Design Team creates the components and design patterns that Designers use, when designing experiences for those users.

The way companies design and implement User Experiences is evolving and the Component Design Team is at the very center of that movement at Coursera. Working collaboratively with Coursera’s Design and Engineering teams, the Component Design team analyzes Coursera’s current product designs, identifies components and patterns used within and simplifies them – in order to reduce complexity and deliver best-of-breed components, patterns and documentation. Their work enables Designers and Engineers to design faster, better and more consistently across every Coursera user experience – with a clear focus on responsiveness and accessibility at every turn.

We are looking for a Designer with an analytical mind, a keen eye-for-detail and a maker’s level of craft – with a pure desire to create the things that everyone else at Coursera uses to design and deliver world-class User Experiences for our users.

  • Educate teams, to help them understand how to adopt the Design System
  • Advise teams who are already using the Design System and teach them how to contribute to it, as community-members
