About the role

  • Lead product design for social core experiences end-to-end, including connecting with friends, group discovery, community participation, and events.
  • Set clear team direction in ambiguous spaces: define problems, align stakeholders, and turn strategy into shippable work.
  • Partner tightly with PM and engineering in agile cycles, bringing early concepts, prototypes, and iterative design into buildable execution.
  • Drive cross-platform design across VR, desktop, mobile, and web, adapting patterns to different input modes while maintaining coherence and quality.
  • Design with systems thinking: establish reusable interaction patterns and state models for social features, and contribute scalable components to our Voyager UI design system.
  • Stay close to users and community behavior, working with research, data, community, and trust & safety partners as needed to understand social norms, friction, and edge cases.
  • Communicate decisions with clarity: document flows, permissions, roles, states, edge cases, and tradeoffs so teams can execute in depth with confidence.
  • Elevate the craft and culture around you: run design critiques, model healthy collaboration, and help the team move faster through early feedback, ensuring a standard of high quality.

Requirements

  • You have 6+ years of professional product design experience and have shipped significant, user-facing products with cross-functional partners.
  • You have strong UX craft across flows, interaction design, prototyping, and systems thinking, and you know how to make complex social systems feel simple and human.
  • You’re comfortable designing across platforms and input modes, and you can adapt patterns without losing consistency, usability, or clarity.
  • You operate like a lead: you set direction, create alignment, and drive decisions, without relying on hierarchy or ego.
  • You thrive in ambiguity and can turn fuzzy spaces into clear outcomes, making smart tradeoffs to maintain momentum.
  • You’re a low-ego, high-agency collaborator: you seek feedback early, listen well, and help teams do their best work together.
  • You care deeply about social product quality, healthy user interaction, clear expectations, and designing with community norms in mind.
  • You prioritize impact over perfection and have strong judgment about what to ship now vs. what to build toward.
