Help us obsess over the small things — the moments where a clearer message, a friendlier error, or a smarter default turns a frustrated user into a partner. You’ll be one part researcher, one part analyst, one part product instinct, embedded in the work that makes DegreeSight feel built for the people who actually use it.
DegreeSight is unlocking the legacy systems higher-ed runs on so colleges and universities can finally recruit, evaluate, and enroll transfer students at the speed today’s students actually move.
Colleges, universities, and higher-ed systems modernizing how they recruit, evaluate, and enroll transfer students.
An AI-powered platform that automates transfer credit evaluation, accelerates admissions, and drives enrollment growth.
Every clear answer we help an institution give is a student who chooses to enroll, finishes a degree, and gets to write the rest of their story.
DegreeSight is growing fast — and as we grow, the surface area of our product is expanding into corners that need real craft. The data flows are complex, the institutional workflows are messy, and the people who use what we build deserve a product that meets them with empathy, not friction. We’re hiring a hybrid Product/UX/Research role to make sure that happens.
This person sits at the intersection of two adjacent problems. Upstream: scoping, diagramming, and clarifying requirements so engineering builds the right thing. Downstream: obsessing over how it actually feels to use — the small things that normally get overlooked in data and integration features. Apple-packaging-level attention to the unglamorous moments.
We are not looking for a credential checklist. We’re looking for someone with a research instinct, technical fluency, and a stubborn refusal to let a confusing screen, a vague error message, or a half-finished flow ship without a fight. If that’s you — from a Zapier-style automation product, a startup, or fresh out of an MIS program — we want to talk.
