Product Designer, Player Experiences

Discord’s Developer Platform team is hiring a Product Designer for Player Experiences to help shape player-facing features that come to life through studio integrations. This role focuses on the surfaces players use every day, spanning in-game overlays, the Discord client, and Discord mobile, with end-to-end ownership from early exploration through launch and post-launch iteration.

What you’ll work on

• Work inside the Player Experience squad and collaborate with a staff designer, engineers, product managers, and data scientists to design the player-facing side of studio integrations.
• Design player-facing experiences such as friend invites, game presence, and shareable game moments, accounting for developer configuration so the experience remains strong across games and platforms.
• Use visual, UX, and interaction design skills to solve for constraints across desktop and mobile, aiming for feature parity and consistent quality.
• Regularly playtest your designs and iterate using feedback from players, peers, and leadership to reach production-ready outcomes.
• Create and maintain comprehensive design documentation and interactive prototypes as decisions evolve, enabling engineering and product partners to build with confidence.
• Share work early and often through critiques and team reviews, and communicate user-centered and business rationale in settings such as design reviews, project-team meetings, and leadership discussions.

What we’re looking for

• 2+ years designing and shipping a web/app product for a variety of devices and platforms.
• Experience designing consumer-facing mobile features (not only responsive web), with familiarity with iOS/Android conventions and constraints.
• An ownership mindset with a bias toward action to move projects and decisions forward.
• A high craft bar across UX, visual design, interaction design, and prototyping, including proficiency in Figma and prototyping tools to demonstrate interactions and flows.
• Ability to explain complex problems and experiences clearly, knowing when to use tools such as a journey, wireframe, deck, prototype, or design specification.
• Experience working within a design system, including contributing back to it.
• Experience designing for mature products, both against a vision and through incremental improvements.

Bonus points

• Experience designing mobile-first experiences.
• Casual or committed gamer experience on mobile and PC.

Tools and platforms

• Figma
• iOS
• Android
