About favorited
At favorited, we believe that digital communities should be more than just spaces to watch content. Our platform is a place to connect, engage, and play, and empowers creators by enhancing audience participation and fostering deeper connections.
Our work culture is intense and isn’t for everyone. But, if you’re a self-starter eager to shape the future of social interaction with a team that holds itself to the highest standards, this is the place for you. We value open, yet respectful communication and real-time feedback to help each other grow quickly. If you’re passionate about gaming and have a knack for gamifying everyday life, you’ll thrive in our fast-moving, collaborative environment.
About the Role
We are seeking a Senior UI/UX Designer with deep experience in mobile and live service games. In this role, you will lead end-to-end UI/UX design for both creator and audience experiences and gamified systems such as leaderboards, stores, rewards, and progression loops. You’ll design intuitive and engaging experiences that make our real-time interactive platform rewarding for both users and creators.
Responsibilities
- Lead the design of user flows, wireframes, prototypes, and high-fidelity visuals for a gamified live streaming experience.
- Design and refine gamified systems such as leaderboards, in-app stores, progression, achievements, and reward structures.
- Collaborate closely with product managers, engineers, and game designers to translate ideas into intuitive, engaging interfaces.
- Champion user-centered design principles across the product, ensuring clarity, usability, and delight at every touchpoint.
- Leverage design thinking philosophies to conduct user research, usability testing, and incorporate feedback into rapid design iterations.
- Anticipate how design decisions will scale in live service environments with frequent content updates and evolving features.
- Advocate for cohesive visual design standards and UI/UX best practices across the platform.
What We’re Looking For
- 6+ years of UI/UX design experience, with at least 3 years in mobile or live service games.
- Proven track record designing for meta-game features (leaderboards, rewards, stores, progression).
- Strong portfolio demonstrating end-to-end design execution from concept through production.
- Deep passion for gaming, live streaming, and real-time interactive online experiences.
- Proficiency with industry-standard design tools (e.g., Figma, Sketch, Adobe Creative Suite).
- Experience collaborating in cross-functional teams with product, design, and engineering.
- Strong communication skills, with an ability to give and receive feedback openly and constructively.
- Product design and design thinking experience (beyond games) is a strong plus.
