Migaku is an all-in-one language learning tool that allows you to study a language with content you love on Netflix, Youtube, websites, books, and more. While you watch or read anything, create flashcards with one click, including screenshot and audio recording of the scene, and study them on your phone later wherever you are.

The product is going through a big UI/UX and brand redesign and we’re looking for a talented UI designer to help define and apply a new look to Migaku's applications. We're currently working with an illustrator and brand designer to define the core look and feel, but their work does not extend to UI. The position is UI/UX, however we are focussing on strong skills in UI.
