We're looking to hire a Senior User Experience Designer to craft a world-class mobile game experience with a fast-growing, high-energy team at our new studio in Los Angeles.

• Evolve and establish look and feel for user interface, including some motion design.
• Develop and maintain specs, assets, documentation to support implementation and shared understanding across the team.
• Work in close collaboration with other members of the Product Design team to inform and improve studio-wide design processes and practices.

What do we value?

• Open-minded. Explore different points of view and different possibilities without being hindered by your own biases and preconceptions.
• Authentic. Be honest with yourself, your team, and your customers.
• Transparent. Fearlessly share your work and your thoughts at any stage of development.
• Meticulous. Find the details that matter most and lean into them.
• User-centered. Know your players. Talk to them. Cater to their needs and exceed expectations.
• Inspire your team to go beyond the status quo—know when to innovate and when to depend on tried-and-true conventions.
• Create momentum. Bring energy and make things happen. Fix problems, invent tools and processes. Push for better ideas.
