About the Role
Raptor is looking for a Senior Product Designer to support our growing team as we evolve and expand our K–12 safety and school operations platform. You’ll work across several high-impact products, including StudentSafe, VisitorSafe, Emergency Management, and SmartPass, used by over 60,000 schools nationwide. You’ll be responsible for leading design efforts across 1–2 product areas at a time—diving deep into user needs, shaping product direction, and driving end-to-end execution. We’re looking for a senior designer who can bring strong systems thinking, product intuition, and visual craft + someone who’s equally comfortable generating ideas from scratch and pushing existing designs to a higher bar.
What You’ll Work On
Student & staff safety tools
– Design features across products like StudentSafe, VisitorSafe, and Emergency Management that help schools respond quickly and manage everyday safety needs.
Product leadership
– Drive the design process for your features (from research to specs to QA), partnering closely with PMs and engineers to ship great work.
Design systems & consistency
– Work within and evolve our shared design system to ensure quality and consistency across the platform.
Multiple workstreams
– Operate autonomously across multiple initiatives, bringing structure, clarity, and momentum to your work.
What We’re Looking For
6+ years of experience
designing digital products, preferably in SaaS, enterprise, or multi-user systems.
A strong track record of owning and shipping product features end-to-end—across research, strategy, wireframes, specs, and final polish.
Excellent interaction and UX design skills—able to simplify complex problems and edge cases for diverse user roles.
Strong visual and UI craft, with attention to detail and consistency.
Experience working within and contributing to a design system.
Strong communication skills—you can articulate your thinking clearly, write design specs, and navigate trade-offs in cross-functional discussions.
Able to work independently, manage your time across multiple workstreams, and lead small to medium-sized projects without much oversight.
Bonus:
experience working in education, safety, or other complex, real-world systems.
Why you might be excited about us
Design products that directly impact student safety and day-to-day school operations.
Work on a platform used by
millions of students and staff across 60,000+ schools .
Work on meaningful products that improve student safety and school operations.
Collaborate with an awesome, high-craft design team that values quality and creativity.
Gain experience working on products at all stages of maturity, from early 0→1 initiatives to established flagship products with over a decade of evolution.
Play a key role in elevating design quality across multiple tools in the K-12 space.
Best-in-class benefits, including : Flexible Paid Time off, Paid parental leave, 11 Paid holidays per year, workplace flexibility, affordable health coverage (medical, dental, vision), 401(k) employer contribution, company paid life insurance/STD/LTD, pet insurance, and more.
Why you might not be excited about us
Things are messy (in a good way).
Raptor is a 400+ person company made up of multiple acquisitions—there’s cleanup and stitching to do as we unify products into a single safety suite.
Not everything feels modern (yet).
Some tools are older and not designed with today’s design standards in mind; there is room to improve the experience and consistency.
We’re not a hype-y AI company.
We’re leaning into AI where it makes sense, but focus is on solving urgent, real-world problems that schools need help with.
We’re still scrappy.
The organization is ~130 people in eng/product/design, with design a team of 7. You’ll do research, push pixels, write specs, and shape product alongside your PM and engineers. If you’re seeking heavy layers of process or design-only time, this may not be the right fit.
If you are a resident of California, Colorado, New Jersey, New York or Washington, please reach out to hr@raptortech.com for a reasonable estimate of annual base compensation and any eligible incentive compensation. This range will be reviewed regularly.
