  • Work closely with the Manager of Product Design and our Engineering Leads.

Qualifications :

  • Minimum of 7-10 years of experience in product / experience design, with a strong portfolio showcasing your work on web platforms, apps, or related digital products.
  • Complete UX understanding : problem discovery, solution generation, concept creation, wireframing, testing, synthesis, iteration, prototyping, competitive analysis, customer journey mapping, applying design systems and producing deliverables for development.
  • Strong understanding of enterprise content management systems, design systems, consumer-facing products, and multi-destination publishing platforms (create once, publish everywhere).
  • Deep understanding of user-centered design principles, interaction design, and information architecture.
  • Expert knowledge of design and prototyping tools like Figma or others.
  • Strong problem-solving skills with the ability to think creatively and strategically to design intuitive and visually appealing solutions.
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work effectively within cross-functional teams.
  • Experience with design systems, demonstrating the ability to create and maintain consistent design patterns and guidelines.
  • Passion for gaming and a keen interest in exploring innovative design approaches within the gaming industry.
  • Experience in Multi Platform Interface Design such as : Gaming consoles, Web ecosystems, VR & AR and Native IOS and Android apps is a plus.
  • Attributes :
