Let's Build the Future of Learning

Join us to design and deliver AI-powered learning tools that scale across the world and unlock human potential.

About The Team

The Design team at Quizlet is passionate about creating high-quality experiences that help people learn, teach, and engage deeply with what they're studying.

We strive to understand and advocate for student needs, shape the long-term product vision, and design intuitive experiences that drive meaningful learning outcomes.

The Core team is responsible for building and improving Quizlet's study tools to help students reach their learning goals. They focus on motivating students, guiding them to the right tools for their study journey, and providing support when they struggle. Recent examples of Core initiatives include incorporating learning science to make studying more effective, adding features that reinforce progress and celebrate wins, and designing experiences that scaffold learning in areas where students need the most help.
