- Strong visual polish and craft focus: able to create delightful UI and meaningful user flows.
- Experience working with (and contributing to) design systems .
- Strong communicator: capable of presenting work to executives and guiding product discussions with PMs and engineers.
- Heavy user of Discord , especially within the gaming community .
- Familiarity with voice/video chat UI/UX , platform personalization , or social UX .

- Design leadership : Influence design strategy, execution quality, and product direction directly.
- Company scale : Your work reaches hundreds of millions of users globally.
- Cross-functional influence : Trusted partner to product, engineering, and analytics.
