We are looking for a Senior Product Designer to join our Consumer Products team and shape experiences that reach players directly - across web stores, loyalty programmes, and engagement surfaces that blur the line between commerce and gameplay. In this role, you will design for real people making real decisions: whether to spend, return, share, or stay. You will work at the intersection of consumer psychology, game mechanics, and product strategy, helping build experiences that feel as rewarding as the games they support.
Responsibilities
- Design end-to-end consumer experiences across web stores, player portals, loyalty systems, and engagement features
- Translate player psychology, behavioural data, and business goals into intuitive, high-converting design solutions
- Apply and evolve gamification mechanics — progression systems, rewards, streaks, social proof — to drive retention and engagement
- Contribute to and evolve design principles, patterns, and system-level consistency across consumer-facing products
Requirements
- 8+ years of product design experience, with a focus on consumer-facing digital products
- Deep understanding of B2C UX — how people browse, decide, and transact in digital environments
- Strong knowledge of game mechanics, player psychology, and engagement design: you understand why players spend, grind, return, and churn
- Experience with gamification patterns: progression systems, battle passes, daily rewards, leaderboards, social loops
- Strong systems thinking and visual/interaction design craft
- Comfortable working in data-driven environments — you use metrics and experimentation to validate design decisions
- Strong communication and stakeholder collaboration skills
It Will Be a Plus If You
- Are an active gamer or have a genuine passion for games and player culture
- Have shipped B2C products in gaming, entertainment, or social platforms
- Have experience designing online stores, subscription products, or loyalty/rewards programmes
- Have experience with AI-assisted design workflows or are actively curious about them
