Full Job Description
What We're Looking For
  • A systems-first mindset. You have hands-on experience building, scaling, and maintaining design systems from the ground up, not just consuming them.
  • 4+ years of experience designing consumer-facing digital products, ideally for social or creator-driven platforms.
  • A strong grasp of design system fundamentals: tokens, components, documentation, and keeping libraries in sync with what ships in production.
  • Deep Figma expertise: component architecture, variables, auto layout, and keeping a living library in sync with production.
  • Experience working closely with engineers to ensure design system components translate accurately into code.
  • Interest in gaming culture: You play games or understand what makes game communities unique from the language players use to the social dynamics that form around play.
  • Experience designing for both desktop and mobile, with an understanding of platform-specific UX patterns and accessibility best practices.
  • In-person: Looking to hire in NYC to work alongside the product team. 5 days in the office.
  • Bonus: Experience designing for communities, content creation, or real-time interaction products (Discord, Twitch, TikTok, etc.)
Why Join Us
  • Shape the future of how gamers connect and express themselves online.
  • Work alongside a talented, passionate team that values ownership, creativity, and experimentation.
  • Competitive salary, equity options, comprehensive health insurance, and 401k.
  • Design experiences that touch millions of players every day - and help define what gaming culture looks like in the next decade.
Benefits
  • Competitive salary and meaningful equity
  • Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage
  • 401(k)
  • Wellness and fitness perks including a Wellhub membership and mental health resources
