Product Designer, Consumer iOS (Collectibles App)

A consumer mobile startup behind a quickly growing app for trading cards and other collectibles is hiring a product designer. The product is branching out from iPhone on to the web and Android, and the company wants a resourceful, high-initiative designer who can give gamified mechanics a sense of delight.

Day to day

• Hold design ownership from beginning to end: research, user flows, detailed visual interfaces and assets ready for production
• Shape engaging consumer experiences around reward systems, level-up mechanics, collection and play loops
• Lead the design of the upcoming web product and prepare the ground for an Android launch
• Extend and improve an established design system, including iOS-native interaction conventions
• Partner tightly with a product manager and engineers to release features in days rather than weeks, adding animation, illustration and microcopy to key brand moments

Qualifications

• One to three years as a product designer working on consumer iOS apps
• A portfolio that shows solid product sense and scalable thinking, with case studies covering the problem, your decisions and ownership, and how the work grows beyond a small standalone app
• Experience designing for consumer engagement through play loops, progression and rewards
• Interaction design ability across motion, illustration and animation
• Low ego, coachable, and at ease with ambiguity
• Proficiency in Figma and the Adobe Creative Suite

On-site in the San Francisco Bay Area, five days a week. Visa transfers considered.
