About the role
- Architect the core engagement loop for Rythm: how users build habits, unlock insights, and stay motivated month after month.
- Design progression systems, streaks, and feedback mechanics that make health optimization feel fun and rewarding.
- Map out narrative and motivational arcs across user journeys to transform data into a story of improvement.
- Create UI/UX flows that integrate achievement, feedback, and reward states natively into the product experience.
- Partner with product, engineering, and design to align interaction mechanics with real health data and outcomes.
- Quickly prototype and test gamified features using Figma, Framer, or Unity to validate engagement concepts.
- Define metrics for success: retention, habit frequency, intrinsic motivation, and delight.
- Evolve Rythm’s experience into a daily ritual that feels like a game people want to keep playing.
Requirements
- Live and work in the U.S. and communicate clearly in English.
- Can do this job without the support of AI.
- Have a proven track record in game design, systems design, or interactive experience design.
- Have launched successful games, gamified apps, or high-engagement digital products that you can demonstrate and describe in detail.
- Can translate behavioral science and reward mechanics into intuitive, emotionally engaging user experiences.
- Are obsessed with creating experiences that foster mastery, momentum, and meaning through thoughtful design.
- Understand health and wellness culture intuitively, and would find it easy to draw inspiration as you are genuinely interested in the space.
- Move fast, give clear feedback, and can ship high-quality work without getting stuck in perfectionist wormholes.
- Are comfortable working in a fast-paced startup where procedures are not clearly defined (you own the creation of design procedures from scratch and iterate rapidly).
- Are fluent in Figma.
- Do the design yourself and don’t outsource to someone on Upwork, etc.
