About the role
About Parrot
Parrot is building the TikTok for language learning - real native videos, interactive subtitles, and AI-generated activities that help people learn the same way they learned their first language.
We believe in immersion-first learning, grounded in second-language acquisition research and comprehensible input. Our goal is to make learning natural, fun, and effective - powered by real content, not artificial drills.
We launched in February 2025, already have thousands of active users, and are now hiring our first Founding Product Designer to join the core team and help us scale to millions.
Why This Role Matters
Design at Parrot is not a support function. It is core to how the product works, feels, and grows.
As our Founding Product Designer, you will:
- Redesign and elevate the core product experience
- Work directly with the CPO and founders to shape product direction
- Influence activation, retention, and meaningful progress through thoughtful UX
- Establish the foundations of our design system
- Set the visual and experiential standard for the company
This is a high-ownership role with real authorship.
What You’ll Work On
You will work across the full product lifecycle:
- Conduct user research and translate insights into product direction
- Design complete user journeys and reusable patterns
- Create wireframes and interactive prototypes
- Craft high-fidelity mobile UI
- Partner with engineering through implementation to ensure quality
