Description

Product Designer

Location: Remote with the UK or Europe

Salary range: £40,000 - £50,000 - compensation outside the UK will be adjusted based on location.

Please note: We are unable to sponsor international visas at this time.

Our Role:

We’re looking for a Product Designer with a strong growth mindset and a track record of designing experiences that move key metrics. You’ll work closely with product, engineering, and marketing teams to identify opportunities, run experiments, and design and craft solutions that improve user acquisition, onboarding, and engagement, retention across both web and app experiences.

This role combines user-centred design with analytical problem solving. You’ll dig into data, simplify complex flows, advocate for users, and use rapid testing to deliver measurable improvements. This is a craft heavy role — we want someone to obsess over the details, in the context of functional software, not just marketing sites.

Responsibilities:

• Work on end to end designs for growth initiatives across our ecosystem, including desktop and app experiences.
• Conduct research and analyse data to uncover friction points and opportunities across our users lifecycle.
• Design and iterate experiments to improve activation, engagement and retention.
• Collaborate cross functionally with Product Management, Engineering and Community to define hypotheses and measure impact.
• Work quickly to produce prototypes ranging from low-fidelity flows and wireframes to high-fidelity, interactive UI designs. The ability to prototype using code is a bonus.
• Develop and refine design systems to ensure consistency as features evolve.
• Advocate for accessibility and usability, especially for new or upcoming modding users.
• Engage with the modding community to understand creator and user needs, motivations and pain points.

Requirements

• Previous experience in product design, UX/UI design, or growth-focused design roles.
• Strong portfolio demonstrating user-centric design, measurable impacts and growth initiatives.
• Experience working on consumer facing digital products, ideally in UGC platforms.
• Ability to translate complex systems into intuitive, accessible experiences.
• Proficiency with Figma.
• Experience collaborating in cross functional product teams in agile environments.
• Experience designing across mobile web and desktop surface. Desktop app experience is a bonus.
• Understands engineering and can build prototypes to communicate ideas (Framer, Loveable, Cursor, Figma, code etc…).

Bonus Skills

• Experience in revenue, growth, acquisition, and conversion product areas.
• Experience using Github for issues tracking.
• An understanding of games modding and knowledge of Nexus Mods.
• A love of computer games.

Benefits

• We work a 4-day week of 32 hours, with no reduction in pay.
• An allowance of £25 each month to spend on video games (anything required for work is bought by the business!).
• Employee Assistance Programme.
• Private BUPA healthcare for you and your family.
• A very flexible training budget.
• Regular social events throughout the year. Participation is optional!
