Senior Product Designer

Creative People, New York, NY, United States


We’re working with a high-growth startup building a gamified consumer mobile experience at the intersection of collectibles, gaming, and culture.
The product is already seeing serious traction, doing $8M+ in monthly volume with thousands of new users joining daily.
They’re now hiring a Founding Product Designer to take full ownership of the product across iOS and web, shaping the experience from the ground up.
The Company A small, fast-moving team operating in true early-stage mode. Highly product-driven, with design playing a critical role in what gets built and how it’s experienced.
Strong growth trajectory in a category that’s exploding, with increasing attention from athletes, creators, and mainstream audiences.
The Mission Most products in this space are transactional and lack depth. This team is building a more engaging, gamified experience that feels closer to a game than a traditional app.
The goal is to create a product users come back to daily, driven by progression systems, rewards, and social competition.
The Role Owning end-to-end product design across iOS and web
Designing core gameplay and engagement loops (packs, rewards, progression systems)
Shaping onboarding, retention, and daily engagement mechanics
Rapidly testing and iterating with direct user feedback
Working closely with founders and engineers in fast, collaborative cycles
Using data and analytics to inform design decisions
What They’re Looking For Interest or experience in gamification, gaming, or engagement-driven products
Ability to design beyond utility, creating fun, dynamic, habit-forming experiences
Comfort operating in 0→1 environments with high ownership
Strong portfolio demonstrating creativity, taste, and product thinking
Bonus: side projects or design work done for fun
