Role Summary

• You’ll come in to own product design for our flagship VR app, helping us deliver experiences that bring user delight

• The overall vision and guiding principles for VR design has been set by our founders but the challenge will be to translate this into a tangible, cohesive product experience

• Whilst the main focus will be on VR, we have a product ecosystem consisting of a VR app, web app, and desktop app. This means that it’ll be important to think holistically across the product ecosystem to ensure consistency and quality in the user flows, and from time to time you may be working with our other product designer on the web or desktop apps

• This will be a challenging but rewarding role for the right person: there are no rules or conventions when designing for the spatial environment of VR, and we are at the cutting edge of defining best-in-class (we see many apps in the space copying our interaction systems!)

• This also means that you may often need to cast away familiar processes and tools like Figma, and prototype directly in VR (or physically!) to really be able to experience what an interaction feels like

• You’ll be supported by a passionate group of internal stakeholders - whether that is our founders or your peers in engineering and product. There will be many strong opinions and we strive to foster an environment of healthy challenge and collaborative debate in order to reach the best solution possible

Key Responsibilities

• Own product design for VR, and support on the web and desktop apps where needed

• Refine and iterate the vision of VR UX with our founder CEO, and use this to inform direction of travel

• Work collaboratively with peers in Engineering and Product from scoping, ideation to delivery to ensure we have solved the identified problem with the best solution possible balancing feasibility, time, and user experience

• Run user research and testing as needed to identify areas of opportunity, ideate, and to validate assumptions and prototypes

• Continue to iterate on and maintain our VR design system

• Be an evangelist and voice of Design internally within the company, sharing work in progress prototypes and the thought process to take the broader team on the journey

Requirements

• Experience being the sole product designer on a cross-functional delivery team

• Experience working at small or early stage companies

• Able to work minimum 3 days a week from our studio in Brixton, London
