ABOUT BABBEL LABS

Babbel Labs is building the future of language learning. We are an AI-first, independent company within the Babbel group, based in Berlin. Our teams bring AI, research and product together to ship experiences that set a new standard for how people learn.

THE ROLE

We're a small, fast-moving team rethinking how people learn languages with AI. We're looking for an experienced product designer to take over hands-on design leadership: shaping the product's direction, running discovery, and getting work delivered.

This is a design leadership and mentoring role, not a people management role. You'll guide the craft and direction of the design team. Speed, precision and quality are how we work. You'll set the pace. You'll work AI-first, using various ways to test ideas quickly and turning the best ones into experiences that are ready to hand off.

HOW YOU'LL MAKE AN IMPACT

- Lead design across discovery and delivery, owning key design decisions for AI-first language learning experiences.

- Design AI-powered learning experiences. Shape how learners interact with AI, from conversation and voice to feedback that stays clear and trustworthy even when the AI gets things wrong.

- Work as an AI builder. Use AI tools first to speed up research, exploring ideas, prototyping and delivery.

- Prototype in code. Build prototypes in SwiftUI and HTML to test ideas and produce vision prototypes that are ready to hand off.

- Design with Claude Code and Figma together. Figma is one tool among several here, not where every project starts.

- Coach and mentor the small, experienced design team, who also work as AI builders, and help them share one set of AI-first design principles.

- Work across disciplines with engineers, product managers, linguists and language learning specialists.

YOUR SKILLS AND QUALIFICATIONS

- Proven design leadership. Solid experience leading product design, with a record of shipping work that users actually adopted.

- Excellent UI craft and motion design. Learning happens moment by moment, so polished interfaces and purposeful motion are essential to a great learning experience.

- Hands-on prototyping in code. You're comfortable in SwiftUI and HTML/CSS/JS and can build things people can use and test.

- AI fluency. You use AI tools like Claude Code as a real part of how you design, not an add-on.

- Design systems know-how. A working knowledge of design systems and how they make teams faster and more consistent.

- A coaching mindset. Experience coaching designers and raising a team's standards through example, feedback and shared practices.

- Clear communication. You work well with technical and non-technical partners, including specialists like linguists and learning designers.

- Comfort with ambiguity. You thrive on fast iteration and figuring things out as you go.

WHAT YOU'LL GET

- Room to learn new tools as they arrive. Try them on real work as soon as they come out, and help decide what the team adopts.

- A consumer product used around the world. Design for a live product that real learners use every day, globally.

- A competitive salary. Salary range: TBD. Pay that reflects the level of the role and the impact you'll have on the product and the team.

WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE

- Delivery-ready prototypes. Prototypes that give engineering and stakeholders a clear vision to build from.

- Faster, better design work. Quality and speed improve through AI tools and design systems.

- An aligned design team. A team that is coached, confident and aligned on AI-first design principles.

WAYS OF WORKING

This is a hands-on design leadership role on a small, experienced design team that works AI-first. AI tools are built into how the whole team works every day, from discovery to delivery. It is hybrid: a mix of time together in the office and working remotely.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
