About this role
Overview
Principal Product Designer – equity partner role with a minimum commitment of 20 hours per week. Remote, async‑native and deeply autonomous. You will craft the UI/UX foundation for interfaces across creative tools, runtime editors, dashboards, and deep‑layer player interaction. You will lead design at the blueprint level while still building directly with velocity and precision.
Responsibilities
Architect interface systems for player, creator, and internal‑facing tools. Prototype flows in Figma, Framer, or code‑linked tools. Build and evolve design systems, token sets, and components with developer alignment.
Lead execution on high‑impact UI/UX projects from zero to launch. Define interaction logic, feedback flows, animation states, and motion paths. Translate narrative, IP, and functional architecture into interface logic.
Mentor senior/staff designers and collaborate asynchronously with design program managers. Drive design performance in product squads, sprints, and spec reviews. Qualifications
7–10+ years in product or UX design with direct experience at system level.
Experience designing complex, multi‑surface tools or platforms (web/app/desktop/game/editor).
Mastery of Figma, tokens, design systems, and atomic component architecture.
Ability to think in flows, hierarchies, edge cases, and transitions.
Proficient in prototyping tools such as Framer, Protopie, Spline, or Unity UI a plus.
Fluent in async feedback, team writing, and clear visual reasoning.
Bonus: experience designing tools for creators, animators, game engines, or simulation interfaces.
Sharp visual taste aligned with anime/futurist digital aesthetics.
