• Drive UX strategy across both web and mobile clients.
• Own the full design lifecycle: research, wireframes, UI, handoff, iteration.
• Collaborate tightly with product, devs, and our community to ship weekly updates.
• Shape our design systems, accessibility, and visual clarity.
• Work with exceptional colleagues on challenging projects

What We’re Looking For

• 5+ years of product design experience, preferably in games or interactive tools.
• Proficiency in Figma and additional design tools.
• Ability to thrive without review — your work sets the standard.
• Strong balance of UI clarity, UX intuition, and systems thinking.
• Experience designing in Figma and shipping to live products with fast cycles.
• Ability to leverage data insights to drive design .
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English.

Why Join Us?

• High impact: Your decisions directly affect millions of players.
• Startup ownership: Full autonomy, fast cycles, no red tape.
• Remote freedom: Work from anywhere.
• Culture-first: We’re a professional team, passionate about games and driven to build great things together.

Apply if you’re an independent designer who wants full ownership and a product you can be proud of.
