Crafted using a strong design-led approach and game-based pedagogy, Kahoot! is a facilitator of awesome, highly engaging, fun learning experiences. What is powerful about Kahoot! is not necessarily what you learn, but how you learn. With over 40 million people a month in more than 180 countries playing and learning with Kahoot!, we are proud to be one of the world’s fastest growing learning brands.

Our first product and experience, our quiz, helped restructure learning in the classroom by focusing on human behavior. How we can continue to improve learning in, and beyond, the classroom is an incredibly interesting design challenge.

 

Design at Kahoot!

Our design team, made up of UX, Creative and Visual talent, has been growing steadily over the past two years. We’re introducing new game formats, leading the design strategy for the organization and facilitating design-lead product development.

We do this, by focusing on questions such as:

  • How can we, through design thinking, create new ways to learn?
  • How can we help teachers use Kahoot! in more powerful ways?
  • What could we do better to make all our users feel like they are the hero in the learning experience?

Our lasting mission is to make learning something everyone wants to connect with. Being part of Kahoot! is an opportunity to directly impact millions of people’s lives - and that’s how we measure our success. Kahoot!’s design team plays a critical role, since the founding of the company, in that mission.

We need a senior UX Designer to help us to continue to support our mission, and growth.
