- Conducting regular playtests and iterating based on feedback from players, peers, and leadership
- Creating comprehensive design documentation and interactive prototypes in Figma
- Communicating design rationale in critiques, reviews, and leadership discussions
- Contributing to and working within the design system
You'll report to the Sr. Product Design Manager on the Developer Platform Design team.
REQUIREMENTS:
- 2+ years of experience designing and shipping web/app products for multiple devices and platforms
- Hands-on experience designing consumer-facing mobile features (iOS/Android), including knowledge of mobile platform conventions and constraints
- Ownership mindset with bias toward action
- High craft bar and attention to detail in UX, visual design, interaction design, and prototyping; proficiency in Figma and prototyping tools
- Ability to communicate complex problems simply and select appropriate communication methods (user journeys, wireframes, decks, prototypes, specifications)
- Experience working within and contributing to design systems
- Experience designing for mature products, both against a vision and through incremental improvements
BONUS: Mobile-first design experience; casual or committed gamer on mobile and PC.
