WHO WE ARE: At Aztec Software, we’re the trusted global leader in adult education learning solutions. At Aztec, our goal is to educate, empower and elevate adult learners for a better tomorrow.

As a full-stack product designer, you own the entire feature design lifecycle—from understanding provided business requirements to UX research to design to supporting delivery to usability testing post-launch.

  • Buy-in and improve processes – You’ll bring a positive attitude, embrace our processes and design ops, and help evolve them over time.

  • Work independently, collaborate effectively – Be a self-starter on a lean and growing team, working independently while staying aligned
  • Bridge business and engineering – Partner with business-side product managers to align priorities, advocate for UX, and work with engineers to deliver effectively
  • Prioritize and deliver – Manage multiple initiatives, stay cool under pressure, and drive results.
• You lead with clarity, reliability, and emotional intelligence
  • Communicate with impact – Present with clarity and conviction, align stakeholders, and rally teams to consensus.

  • Balance results with emotional intelligence – Navigate challenges with diplomacy and clarity.

• Design new features, moving from wireframes to pixel perfect designs
  • Create Lo-Fi wireframes – Draft quick wireframes and prototypes to test, iterate, and refine structure.

  • Finalize Hi-Fi designs – Deliver pixel-perfect, dev-ready designs that meet all requirements.
• Write functional specification documents and support feature delivery
