UX Lead - Creative Play

We are looking for a UX Lead who is interested in enabling players to express themselves through creation - in multiple ways on multiple platforms - to join our creative play team. We are building a social real-time world with flexible and fun ways for people to create and share, so our UX goals are a mix of many existing models.

In this role you will be responsible for conceptual UX leadership and driving our philosophy and approach to UX. You will also do specific work on UX improvements across the project which means interactive experiments, research, design and iterating interfaces in our real-time 3D environment.

The team you will be joining is focused on playful tools for creation - where we blend game-style play with expressive tools. You’ll work with a cross-functional (and hybrid-remote) group of designers, coders and artists to find ways to build direct and engaging ways players will remix and evolve the worlds they are in - balancing maximal possibilities with minimal overhead.



Example of responsibilities

- Teamwide concept alignment on UX Strategy and effectively communicate designs to the product and design teams

- Create interactive prototypes, wireframes and documentation that clearly convey ideas

- Drive and implement UX improvements across the project

- User-test on prototypes, other software, and conceptual ideas - share learnings across the team

- Work with UX for UGC type products

- Driving learnings and feedback loops for the live product

We would love if you have

- Been working with broad UX concepts and concretized strategy for early phase products

- Cross platform UX development experience

- Some experience in UXR

- Enough Tech knowledge to talk meaningfully to implementers and preferably some comfort coding

- Strong collaboration skills and leadership through examples and iterating

- 5+ years of experience with a proven track record, preferably from the gaming industry

- Fluency in English
