Senior Product Designer, Creators

VRChat is building the future of immersive, user-generated worlds, and they are seeking a Senior Product Designer to lead the evolution of the Creator experience. This high-impact role focuses on shaping interaction systems and UI across desktop, VR, and mobile, particularly in how players interact with objects in the world.

Responsibilities:

• Lead end-to-end design for core props workflows. Define player-facing interactions for new content types, such as companions, environmental objects, and interactive items
• Define interaction models, affordances, and behavioral systems that make props intuitive and engaging in immersive social contexts
• Explore and establish new UX patterns for spatial and presence-based interaction, including how players discover, use, and share props in-world
• Translate technical concepts into approachable UX through thoughtful flows, clear visual hierarchy, and user-friendly microcopy
• Partner closely with engineers to ensure interactions feel responsive, performant, and grounded in technical reality
• Collaborate with product and design leadership to influence the long-term direction of content interaction systems
• Run lightweight usability testing (concept checks, prototype tests) to validate designs early, identify friction, and iterate quickly
• Use prototyping and in-world testing to validate interaction concepts and refine usability in real contexts

Requirements:

• 5 to 8 or more years of product design experience, with a strong focus on interaction design, systems design, or immersive environments
• Experience designing interactive systems, game mechanics, or spatial interfaces
• Comfortable working in ambiguity and can define structure where none exists yet
• Ability to simplify complexity without sacrificing capability or clarity for users
• Comfortable working in Figma and collaborating with engineering to bring designs to life
• Think in flows and systems, understanding how tools fit into broader user lifecycles and full product ecosystems
• Familiar with Unity, SDKs, Blender, or other dev tools
• Proactive collaborator who listens well, gives clear feedback, and is energized by working closely with other teammates
• Care about empowering users and how people connect, play, and express themselves through shared experiences within VRChat
• Understanding of trust, safety, or moderation systems that support healthy online interactions
• Familiarity with social VR, presence-based UX, or designing for avatar-based expression
• Experience working on cross-platform design (desktop, mobile, VR headsets)
• Passion for online communities, emergent play, social behavior, or the sociology of digital spaces
