Tech has been a gamechanger for society over the past few decades but the profits have largely gone to a handful of people clustered around a few major cities in the US. This has left people with historically disadvantaged & non-traditional backgrounds at a massive loss as they continue to fall behind despite working 2x hard because the tech/software has ‘eaten their worlds’. What's more - there are tens of thousands of unfilled jobs that fast-growing tech companies are unable to fill because there is a serious lack of skill needed to perform those highly technical jobs.

At Career Karma, we aim to solve this problem by being the marketplace & the community for rapid reskilling needed to raise living standards in the US (short term) and the world (long term).

Career Karma is on a mission to get 1 billion people tech jobs they love! We recently raised $40M in Series B funding & are backed by industry leaders like YCombinator, Softbank, Initialized Capital, Reforge, among others. Today, we’ve already helped over 350k+ workers navigate their careers. We’re looking for a Senior product designer to work on deeply understanding our users and crafting our growing line of products.

Why Join Career Karma

  • Work from anywhere. We are a fully remote company that values asynchronous work—you can work anywhere, any time. You’ll have the space you need to promote balance in your life
  • Grow with a balanced team. We value diversity and inclusion, and we believe representation matters. Join us in promoting voices of all backgrounds as we promote yours.
  • Enjoy the ride. We are a hyper-growth company with the mission of empowering a billion people in a decade. Be part of our growth as we continue to scale our impact.

  • Funded for the future. We are backed by world-class investors with proven records of identifying and funding some of the most innovative companies. With their support, we are able to pursue rapid growth while maintaining a bias toward frugality in achieving our mission.
  • Startup, but don’t stop your life. Though we are just getting started, we offer the competitive benefits you would expect from any investor-backed Silicon Valley company.

Design at Career Karma

  • We are working on creating an opportunity pathway for everyday people to get into tech! Design has a key seat at the CK table.
  • We are ambitious, collaborative, and like to get things done! We love data, research, and obsess about our users’ needs. We use best-in-class analytics tools like Amplitude, Mode, Hotjar, and others to understand our users.
  • At this very early stage, you will get an opportunity to be a formative part of Career Karma’s design journey. You can help with creating processes, hiring new talent, and creating the culture from the ground up at a fast-growing startup!
