Remote Time Magazine Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Academy specializes in hard-to-fill senior roles at the intersection of UX, product, and AI. We're a strategic hiring partner for companies like Google, Meta, and Amazon—focused on placing the top 5% of design and product talent who are personally vetted, coached, and ready to ship. We're not your typical recruiting agency.

Our team is led by practitioners who've actually done the work—including CEO Adam Perlis, former Head of Product Design at TIME Magazine, AKQA, and BASIC/DEPT. We train every recruiter for 3 months on UX disciplines because we believe the best recruiters are the ones who deeply understand the craft. Thank you for considering Academy's Talent Network Note : This is not an application or an active job opening but rather an opportunity to join our talent network and be considered for future opportunities.

We're building a network of Design Engineers across the full spectrum: Whether you're comfortable jumping into Claude Code or an IDE like Cursor, closing PRs and shipping to production—or you're working primarily in tools like Figma Make, v0 by Vercel, or Lovable and building your way toward production-ready code—we want to connect with you. This isn't a single role posting. We're expanding our B150 community (a network we built for GenAI professionals) to include Design Engineers.

We want to know you so we can match you with opportunities that fit your skillset and career goals as they come up with our clients.
